Rovinj

Rovinj

In the past 40 years Rovinj has developed from a fishing village into a real tourist center thanks to its picturesque surroundings, its pleasant Mediterranean climate and its cultural-historical values.

Attractions

Feel the enchantment of the town in its narrow medieval streets and warm Mediterranean setting. The main Church of St. Euphemia keeps relics of the saint and presents one of the most beautiful Baroque achievements in Istria. From the church plateau there is a wonderful view of the open sea and numerous islets in the distance. A visit to the Rovinj Town Museum and the town's many galleries will complete your cultural experience.

Shopping

"Grisia" is surely the most popular outdoor exhibition in Croatia, and also the most recognizable cultural event in Rovinj. In the street bearing the same name and joining the main town square and St Euphemia's church like a spine, academic artists, amateurs and children exhibit their works of art for numerous audiences. Best buys are also the local wines and truffle products, filigree jewelry and ceramics.
