This city is located <strong>on the western coast<\/strong>, and it ows its popularity to its beautiful old town, rich culinary scene and diverse beaches, which is why many are happy to continue returning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you get the most out of your vacation in Rovinj, we have prepared a <strong>guide with the best recommendations<\/strong> for sights, beaches, restaurants and places to stay from people who know it best. Discover what this Istrian gem has to offer and spend an unforgettable summer in Rovinj.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What to see and visit<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the symbols of Rovinj is <strong>the Church of St. Euphemia<\/strong>, the patron saint of the town, with a 60-metre high bell tower. 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<div id='gallery-1' 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\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rovinj-sea-view-III-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\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Panoramic-view-at-the-old-village-of-Rovinj-Istria-Croatia-I-scaled-e1757415710721-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\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>.
