Rovinj
One of the most ‘photogenic’ towns in the Mediterranean, once a fishing town, today is a tourist resort. At a distance of some 40 kilometres from Pula, Rovinj has long been known as the town with favourable and beneficial climatic features. So, today its people are still proud of this long tradition and ‘fight’ for the title of ‘healthy town’… The rest is nature’s work. The entire coastline, with its twenty-two islands is an area of protected natural heritage.
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.
Its surroundings offer immense possibilities for recreation: biking, horseback riding, jogging. But, owing to the sea and what it has to offer, ranging from sailing to discovering the underwater world, its therapeutic properties, today Rovinj is the destination for tourists from all over the world.
ACCOMODATION
Rovinj offers quality hotels in the most attractive city zones and in the immediate vicinity of the sea and beaches.
Comfortable suites, the closeness of the sea and quality amenities make Rovinj’s tourist resorts an attractive accommodation for your summer vacation.
WHAT TO DO IN ROVINJ
During the summer Rovinj is a city full of life.
In the morni
ng and during the day most people try to hide from the sun and the heat enjoying the benefits of Rovinj’s beaches. Clear azure sea, jagged and varied coastline protected by dense vegetation, as well as rich underwater, make ideal conditions for experiencing perfect summer. The town centre is rather deserted during the day. Apart from the ones living and working in the city, not many will stroll through the city before 7 p.m.
This, however, changes drastically after the first signs of the heat letting up.
As you walk through the streets in the early and late evening, even very late, you will meet a variety of people of all age, walking, talking and sitting in one of many restaurants, cafés, pizzerias and inns, or searching for the spirit of some ancient times in the labyrinth ma
de of stone, through the narrow streets of the old city.
But that is not all. Rovinj’s summers are exceptionally eventful. There is hardly an evening without some concert you can go to, whether you prefer traditional local music, pop, jazz or classical music. You can visit exhibits where many local and foreign artists exhibit their works, well-known open-air exhibit ‘Grisia’ in the old-town street of the same name, theatrical performances, artistic happenings and many other things.
In all this variety of summer events our biggest celebration of the year proudly stands out, ‘ Rovinj’s Night’. For three days at the end of August tens of thousands of people gather in Rovinj to celebrate enjoying music, dancing, tasty food and drinks. At midnight of the last day all of us stand enchanted and silent while witnessing the indescribable beauty of one of the biggest fireworks on the Adriatic Sea.
