Coastal Town · Istria, Croatia
Rovinj, Built Around You
Rovinj sits on Croatia's Istrian peninsula, a former Venetian territory first recorded as the Roman settlement "Castrum Rubini" in the 5th century. Pastel-coloured harbour houses and fishing boats line the seafront, while the hilltop baroque Church of St. Euphemia, with its Venetian-style bell tower, watches over the old town.
Rather than a single fixed itinerary, this is a starting point for a private trip built around how you actually want to use it: a stop on a longer Istria tour, or your own dedicated day around the harbour and old town. Tell us your dates and interests, and we'll plan the rest.
