Located on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, Rovinj is one of Croatia’s coastal gems. The charming city offers plenty for visitors looking for more than a beach too, such as historic monuments, cobbled streets and a picturesque waterfront.
History and culture buffs will find much to enjoy about Rovinj. Housed in a 17th-century baroque palace, the Rovinj City Museum displays Croatian art from the 16th century to the present. For an insight into the region’s history, check out the Rovinj Heritage Museum. Built from 1725 to 1736, the baroque St Euphemia’s Church dominates Rovinj from its hilltop location in the middle of the old town. Its bell tower is a major highlight, while inside you’ll discover notable artworks and ceiling frescoes.
There are plenty of relaxing things to see and do in Rovinj. Wander down to the waterfront and take in the picturesque scenes of boats swaying lazily on the water and Sveta Katarina, an island just off the coast. Afterwards, browse the Rovinj Market for fresh produce and artisan crafts, then head for Grisia, a cobbled street lined with galleries and boutique stores.

We liked very much the old town streets, the sunset views and walking by the seaside. But the restaurants and shops are too touristy. They don’t have personality. We would have like to eat some typical food, but there were non.
Rovinj is a wonderful and unique city in the Mediterranian.

Rovinj is a wonderful and unique city in the Mediterranian. Though we have visited Rovinj at wintertime the weather was fantastic and the city itself was lively though basicly we could meet basicly with locals, who were so kind to us by the way. You can really enjoy the old city part, which is uniqe and a must see location! There are nothing in a far distant so if You travel there by car you can put that down and you can discover marvellous locations. There are local shops in the downtown but the supermarkets are also not far away! There is a recreational area situated south from the old city which is also a must visit place and you can enjoy the beach area there also. The city and its neighbourhood is ideal for families, seniors, and companies as well and I highly recommend to see that for everyone!

Gorgeous seaside town with lots of lovely cafes, shops, bars and restaurants. Nice (pebble) beaches at large modern resorts to north and south of the old town and charming swimming areas off the sea wall of the old town. Sunset Boat tours a must!

9 October 2023
Hotel Grand Park - Bathroom adjustable mirror too high up, could not see in it. Safe too high to reach or see in it. Plants outside balcony on 2nd floor rooms spoiled view, they had apparently cost a fortune but were a mess, not tended and grown too high. Top rail on edge of property, ie room balcony and restaurant, was in direct line of vision when seated so interrupted view. Hotel should have a re-think about this. Maybe flowers would be nice with an irrigation system, would greatly enhance the ambience
Vibrant town with a lot of activities, breathtaking beaches...
24 September 2023
Vibrant town with a lot of activities, breathtaking beaches and time to relax and spend time with loved ones. No clubs or loud noise, and the town dies down at around 11pm or midnight. You can not make a mistake with food - anywhere you go, you will have a tasty meal. Opt for "pljukanci" - traditional Istrian pasta - whenever it is on the menu.
