Unique landmark, full of history. Great view from the top of the hill where medieval church is. Lot of good restaurants.
Lovely old Italian influenced town. Plenty of shops and eating places with excellent food. Good chilled out night life.
walking through the old town is a must - fascinating and brightly coloured buildings, and friendly locals.
Old town is charming with its Venetian style houses and cobblestone streets. It is nice to wander around during the day and also at night. Don't miss the sunset from the port, each day from a different side of the "island".
What a great place to spend a few hours , either by day or night. Great shopping and restaurants. When we were there, there was a festival and we stayed in the town square and watched live bands performing some great shows. The surrounding marina and small port are very picturesque which also lead to some great little finds for bars and shops and restaurants. Its a must see.
Walking through the Balkin Arch is just one of the many ways that you can start your whimsical journey up through the cobblestone streets of this fascinating town with its' obvious Italian influence. Each street and alley holds many things to observe, and experience. there are many fascinating shops, many with unusual art and articles for sale. The flavor of the town presents itself through its' stone buildings. The town does not come to a stop just because you arrived, the artisians work, businesses and buildings are being renovated, clothes is being washed, dogs are walked etc. and when you finally arrive at the top you do not remember the climb. Once you get to the top at St. Euphemia you can return to the port along a more seaside route past hotels and restaurants. Once you are back port side you look back and realize there are so many more streets you did not visit. Tomorrow we start the climb again.
This is such a beautiful place, and we spent many happy hours wandering round the narrow streets, browsing local shops, people watching in the many bars & restaurants in the area (especially on the front). You need to look past the touristy bits to see the lovely old town preserved behind them.I think Rovinj is a simply beautiful city - the only downside being it has typical city traffic and parking issues - but time your visit right and its well worth the tripHighly recommended
I like the relaxing atmosphere and the pace of life and that's what you go for you can get a small train which will take you along the coast line.
the walk up to the church at the top of Rovinj through all the little side streets then all the watering holes on the way down
Roving is small, charming and very walkable. Stone houses on narrow twisting lanes. Harbor filled with fishing boats not yachts. Very Italian-feeling. Spectacular views in every direction! I just visited on a day trip from Opatija and wished I could have stayed in Roving for a few days!
