It is located in the hilly old town, so in summer it is best to walk there <strong>early in the morning<\/strong> or <strong>late in the afternoon<\/strong> when it is not too hot. On the way, visit the city clock, the city gates and <strong>Grisia Street<\/strong>, a cobbled and winding street lined with small shops. I would definitely recommend a walk in the afternoon, when it is best to stay by the church and enjoy the view of the sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in the history of Rovinj, visit the <strong>Rovinj City Museum<\/strong>, where the exhibitions change frequently, so there is always something new to discover. There is also the <strong>Batana Ecomuseum<\/strong>, dedicated to the Batana fishing boat and the community of fishermen who chose it as their symbol. Also worth a visit is the <strong>Rovinj Aquarium<\/strong>, where sea urchins, seaweed, lobsters and other inhabitants of the Adriatic await you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summer, the town is usually crowded, especially around the centre, so it is <strong>good to have a bike or scooter<\/strong>. And some sights and beaches are close enough to walk to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For excursions outside Rovinj, the <strong>Lim Canal<\/strong> is excellent, offering not only views of nature and a variety of birds, but also a gastronomic experience for all shellfish lovers, especially oysters. Have lunch at the <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/u23Ayo5GFyaos9HY8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Viking<\/strong><\/a> restaurant, which offers an excellent selection of shellfish, wild white fish and crabs. For local wine, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/1wFEYfBTroT2QV5LA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Mato\u0161evi\u0107 Winery<\/strong><\/a> near the Lim Channel, or on the way back to Rovinj, stop at the <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3UHPRN8JpmBmDsrp6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Monte Ricco Winery<\/strong><\/a> and discover award-winning wines such as Malvasia and Teran, as well as olive oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-3993 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\"  href='https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/limski-kanal-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\"  href='https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/rovinj-panorama-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2><b>Where to eat<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">True gourmets always return to Rovinj, whose diverse gastronomic offer includes everything from traditional taverns to Michelin-starred restaurants.
