On the southwestern edge of continental Europe, Rovinj, Croatia, is like a dazzling pearl nestled on the Adriatic coast, exuding a charming and romantic atmosphere. My beloved and I came here hand in hand, embarking on a dreamy journey of our own. In the morning, the sun gently sprinkled on Rovinj's ancient buildings. We strolled hand in hand along the stone-paved roads, each stone beneath our feet bearing the marks of time. Colorful houses lined the hillside in a charmingly haphazard way, like an overturned palette, vibrant yet harmonious. Green vines climbed the walls, dotted with tiny flowers, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, as if even the wind had softened. We arrived at the seaside, where the waves gently lapped against the beach, creating a pleasant sound. The distant horizon shimmered under the sunlight, complementing the blue sky. My beloved and I sat side by side on the beach, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before us, feeling each other's heartbeat and breath. At that moment, it felt as if the world consisted only of the two of us, and time stood still for this tranquility and beauty. At noon, we entered a seaside restaurant. The aroma of seafood filled the air, and we savored the local specialties: tender grilled fish, delicious shrimp – each bite bursting with the taste of the ocean. Outside the window was the azure sea, the sound of the waves intermingling with my beloved's laughter, composing the most beautiful melody. In the afternoon, we climbed the town's bell tower. From the top, the entire view of Rovinj unfolded before our eyes. Red-roofed, white-walled houses, winding streets, and the blue sea formed a breathtaking picture. My beloved stood beside me, pointing to the distant scenery, eyes sparkling. At that moment, I felt that the most beautiful thing in the world was to admire this world's beauty with the one I love. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky orange-red. We walked along the coastline, the soft sand beneath our feet, the town bathed in the sunset behind us. The sea breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and my beloved held my hand tightly, as if to convey this warmth to my heart. Our shadows stretched long on the beach, and at this moment, time seemed to freeze, becoming eternal. As night fell, Rovinj became lively and enchanting. Warm lights illuminated the streets and alleys, and cheerful music drifted from the bars. My beloved and I entered a bar, ordered two glasses of local wine, and swayed gently to the music. In the slightly tipsy atmosphere, we looked into each other's eyes, as if seeing the love that filled each other's hearts. Every moment in Rovinj was filled with romance and warmth. This seaside town witnessed the love between my beloved and me, and it has become the most beautiful memory in our hearts.

✈ I drove around Croatia during the National Day holiday, covering most of the classic scenes in an 11-day itinerary. In the last issue, I talked about the Zagreb-Split line, and in this issue, I will share the rest of the itinerary. 👑Šibenik (Pictures 3-5) The next stop from Split is Šibenik, a 2-hour drive, but I arranged for a day because it passes through Kaštela (Picture 1) and Trogir (Picture 2) on the way. 🔺Kaštela has a castle in the water, which is also a Game of Thrones filming location. 🔺Trogir didn't leave a good impression on me, too many tourists at noon, the city layout is very similar to Split. The cathedral is not expensive and worth a visit. Be sure to park outside the old town (1.5 euros per hour), 4 euros per hour in the old town. 🔺Šibenik has fewer people and is a "mountain city" with many medieval streets different from other cities, which is very suitable for staying overnight and strolling around. The Šibenik Cathedral is also a World Cultural Heritage site. We didn't go in, which is a bit regrettable. 👑Rovinj (Pictures 6-7) It takes nearly 5 hours from Šibenik to Rovinj. 🔺Rovinj and Venice face each other across the sea, and the old town is all colorful. However, the area is very small, and you can finish walking around in 2 hours. 🔺I recommend two places to stay, the first is the island opposite the old town, Maistra Select Island Hotel Katarina, which has the best view of the old town, and you can snorkel by the sea. 🔺The other is the Maistra Select Family Hotel Amarin, a 5-minute drive north. Similar to clubmed, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all-inclusive, with childcare included. All kinds of entertainment facilities are free. There is a long coastline outside the hotel, where you can swim in the sea and overlook the old town. Even if you don't stay, you can come here to play. 👑Pula & Poreč (Pictures 8-11, Pictures 12-13) We stayed in Rovinj for 2 nights and went to Pula and Poreč one day. 🔺Pula has one of the only six Roman amphitheaters in the world, which is very well preserved. The amphitheater ticket is 30 euros, which is worth a visit, and the parking lot next to it is free on weekends. 🔺You can walk from the amphitheater to the Temple of Augustus, about 20 minutes, the exterior is enough, it's not worth going inside. 🔺Poreč has the World Cultural Heritage Euphrasian Basilica complex. This church built in the 4th century AD has a simple exterior, but the mosaics inside are quite stunning. After a quick tour, this attraction also takes 2 hours and is worth a special trip. 👑Samobor (Pictures 14-15) Because the car was returned to Zagreb Airport on the last day, the hotel was booked here the day before (20 minutes from the airport). 🔺Quite a surprise, the architectural style is very fairy tale, colorful houses, creek wooden bridges, windows full of flowers, very much like the fairy-tale towns on the German-French border. 🔺The cost of living is low, and there is the best specialty cake in Croatia.

#fallingseason 💡 Rovinj is a coastal city in northern Croatia. It is known as "Little Venice" because of its Venetian architecture and its location across the Adriatic Sea from Venice. The Old Town is full of Italian charm, and you can take beautiful photos of its narrow streets and colorful buildings. It is definitely a town worth visiting. 💡羅維尼是位於克羅地亞北部的沿海城市，與威尼斯隔著亞得里亞海相望，因此有小威尼斯之稱。當地的舊城區充滿意式風情，隨心一拍都能照出美美的照片，絕對是值得到訪的城鎮～ Follow @travel_poodie for more 🙌🏻 #croatia #rovinj #middleages #gameofthrones #travel #attraction #sea #beach #fortress #sunset #vacation #克羅埃西亞 #克罗地亚 #克羅地亞 #羅維尼 #權力遊戲 #中世紀 #旅行 #旅遊 #旅遊景點 #海灘 #堡疊 #日落 #travelpoodie

Croatia's last stop is Rovinj. I chose it because the scenery here is very beautiful when shooting commercials with Canon cameras. It is a very beautiful town. Transportation strategy: rent a car and drive here to return the car, then take Flixbus from here to enter Italy. Must-visit attractions: 1. Balbijev Luk 2. Church of St. Euphemia But I think some alleys are very beautiful, and there is also a natural swimming pool. Recommended hotel: The B&B I stayed in was Apartment Iva, which has a kitchen. Must-eat food: I accidentally discovered a Michelin restaurant that has been awarded four consecutive years. #familytravel #croatia #Rovinj #Croatia #CroatiaTravel #Rovinj #Parent-child good place 2023/10

#tripblazers #europe #croatia I had the best ice cream of my life in Rovinj, Croatia. We decided to go to this small seaside town on a whim after visiting Pula. It was a short bus journey away from the main station in Pula and has some of the best Mediterranean vibes of our whole trip. To see the best views, we took a boat trip around the peninsula or climb up the church tower at the top of the hill.

Some travelling tips to Brijuni National Park 1) Official National Park Boat departs from Fazana and takes about 15 mins to this park 2) Fun fact about this park is that Yugoslavia Dictator Tito has a residence here 3) Adult ticket to visit is 200 kunas which includes a guided tour, train ride, to and fro boat tickets 4) Sort of limited and expensive food options on this tourist island, be sure to pack food or eat at Fazana before coming here. 5) Really close to Pula, if you ate based in Pula, make sure to to visit this island 6) According to my guide this tour opens every day but the hotels on this island has certain months that are closed. If you plan to stay over, make sure you come at the right time

Before going to Venice, Italy, we went to Rovinj, a seaside city. If Halloween in the United States is celebrated as Carnival, Halloween in Rovinj is more like a special market on Sunday morning, with people coming and going, but everyone is aimlessly enjoying the caress of the sea breeze.

When it comes to tourist destinations in Croatia, popular spots include Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, and Plitvice Lakes National Park. Croatia, a country blessed with both mountains and sea, is filled with stunning natural beauty. Among its many attractions, there’s one more charming destination worth visiting. That is 'Rovinj'! This town, located on a peninsula by the Adriatic Sea, is compact enough to walk around in just about an hour.

There’s a parking lot at the entrance of the peninsula, making it possible to visit Rovinj as a day trip from Zagreb. Why not spend your next holiday enjoying a luxurious time in Rovinj?

#February Destinations 2026 Port of Rovinj (Luka Rovinj), located on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia, is the most charming harbor in this "Pearl of the Adriatic." The harbor is filled with traditional fishing boats, sailboats, and yachts, surrounded by colorful houses and Venetian-style alleyways. The waterfront is lined with open-air cafes, seafood restaurants, and shops, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Large cruise ships are mostly anchored (tender port), with passengers disembarking by small boat directly to the old town. Nearby is the modern ACI Marina Rovinj, offering luxurious berths and pine forest views. Awarded a Silver Medal for Mediterranean Maritime Heritage, it's a perfect blend of fishing, tourism, and romantic seascapes; an evening stroll along the harbor is especially poetic.

#February Destinations 2026 The Church of St. Euphemia (Crkva sv. Eufemija) is located atop a hill in the old town of Rovinj on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. It is the town's most prominent landmark and symbol, affectionately known locally as "St. Fuma." This Baroque three-aisled church was built between 1725 and 1736, designed by the Venetian architect Giovanni Scalfarotto, replacing an earlier chapel dedicated to St. George. The facade was completed in 1883. The bell tower is 61 meters high (the tallest in Istria), topped with a bronze statue of St. Euphemia that rotates with the wind. Inside, a 6th-century Roman sarcophagus (reconstructed in the 15th century) contains the remains of the 4th-century martyr, Euphemia, who is said to have miraculously drifted there over 800 years. Climbing the 189 steps offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the colorful old town and the Adriatic Sea, making it Rovinj's most romantic and photographically valuable attraction.

#February Destinations 2026 Rovinj (Italian: Rovigno) is the most charming and romantic seaside town on the west coast of the Istria peninsula in Croatia, known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic." Originally an island, it was connected to the mainland through land reclamation in the 18th century. The old town is built on a narrow peninsula, with colorful houses rising in tiers from the sea, and narrow cobblestone alleys exuding Venetian charm. The landmark is the Church of St. Euphemia, whose Baroque bell tower reaches 60 meters high, overlooking the entire town and the blue bay. The harbor is bustling with fishing boats in the summer, and combined with art galleries, gourmet food (seafood, truffles), and natural beauty, it is the most poetic and photographically captivating Mediterranean town in Istria.

Rovinj is a place that behaves like a painting that decided to become a town. Pastel houses lean in for gossip, the sea keeps changing its mind about its favourite shade of blue, and time softens around the edges. Here is an unhurried three-day itinerary that lets Rovinj work its quiet magic. ⸻ Day 1: Old Town, Sea Air, and Sunset Drama Morning Begin in the Old Town, climbing its cobbled vertebrae while cafés set out chairs like offerings. Wander without purpose: Let laundry flutter above your head and winding alleyways pull you in. Make your way up to St Euphemia’s Church: The view from the tower is unmatched - terracotta roofs tumbling into the Adriatic, islands scattered like punctuation. Lunch Settle near the harbour for grilled fish, olive oil, and a glass of crisp Istrian Malvasia. Afternoon Stroll the promenade south towards Monte Beach, or take a swim from the rocks. Rovinj doesn’t do sand: It prefers drama. In the late autumn the sea is strewn with comb-jellies - they’re a very surprising texture when you brush against them while swimming, but it’s a fascinating sight. Evening Head to Šetaliste Setaliste or Puntulina viewpoint for the justifiably famous sunset. Dinner in Old Town, then a slow amble along Šetaliste (the Promenade) with a gelato and live music drifting out of nowhere. ⸻ Day 2: Forests, Islands, and the Colour Blue Morning Hire a bike or walk into Golden Cape Forest Park (Punta Corrente). Pine trees, secret coves, and sunlight peeping through the branches. Get a swim in early - You’ll feel smug for the rest of the day. Lunch Back in town, try a casual konoba for truffle pasta or seafood risotto. Istria takes both very seriously. Afternoon Boat trip time. Join a half-day excursion to the Rovinj Archipelago or Red Island (Crveni Otok). Swim, snorkel, enjoy the outrageously clear water. Evening Dress slightly nicely. Rovinj appreciates the effort. Dinner at a tucked-away Old Town restaurant, followed by a drink at a candle-lit wine bar. Order something local you can’t pronounce and trust the process. ⸻ Day 3: Art, Markets, and One Last Swim Morning Visit the Rovinj Market while it’s still humming. Cherries, figs, cheeses, gossip. Then explore Rovinj’s small but charming galleries. The town attracts artists the way light attracts moths. Late Morning Walk the full curve of the harbourfront, watching fishermen mend nets. Lunch Keep it simple. Pizza, salad, cold white wine. Afternoon Choose your farewell swim spot. Monte Beach again, or one final escape to Punta Corrente. Dry in the sun. Mentally plan how you might never leave. Evening A final sunset from the rocks below Old Town. Farewell dinner overlooking the water. Let the bell of St Euphemia mark the hour. #travel2026 #couplestrip #thingstodo #seascapes #myitinerary #rovinj #croatia #europetrip

Rovinj, one of the cities in Croatia, is picturesque and offers stunning sunsets.

Rovinj is a charming coastal town in Croatia. You can book a free guided tour to explore the town, where the guide will introduce you to its highlights. The town features two notable churches and a museum. For €12 (round trip), you can visit a nearby island to enjoy its scenic beauty. On the island, you can rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) for €15 per hour or simply relax on a chair and enjoy the sea breeze. Swimming is also an option, as the Adriatic Sea boasts crystal-clear waters. However, be cautious of jellyfish in the water to avoid getting stung.

Had an absolute blast chasing epic views in Rovinj and exploring Campo de Criptana 💥🌊 Top Spots to Visit: Rovinj – Church of St. Euphemia (remains): 4J99+CF, 52210, Rovinj, Croatia. The highlight here is climbing the iconic church’s bell tower for a jaw-dropping panorama of Rovinj’s old town and shoreline (seriously, keep your camera ready!). Heads up – the stairs are steep and a bit uneven, so wear good shoes and take it slow if you’re not a fan of heights. It’s 100% worth it for the dreamy photos from the top, though. Campo de Criptana: While here, make sure to hunt for the legendary windmills dotting the landscape. They’re straight out of a postcard and perfect for feeling like Don Quixote. How to Get Around: Get around Rovinj on foot—everything is super walkable. In Campo de Criptana, you can roam most attractions by walking, but if you’re hopping between windmills, a local taxi works too. What and Where to Eat: In Rovinj, hit up the seaside for fresh seafood—try konoba-style restaurants for authentic Istrian flavors, like grilled fish or black risotto. In Campo de Criptana, local tapas bars are the move—ask for regional Manchego cheese and chorizo. Essential Tips: Bring cash—smaller eateries and local shops sometimes skip cards. Weather-wise, pack for breezy evenings, especially if you’re climbing towers or wandering hilltops. #RovinjViews #CampoDeCriptana #CroatiaTrip #TravelTips #EpicPhotos

Great Rovinj trip

40 minutes ride from Pula airport, you will find a beautiful old town in the coastline of Rovinj. I come here during one of the biggest latin festival in Europe, and Rovinj becomes my favourite city in Croatia. Rovinj is good for a chill vacation with friends and family. It's very small town so it's good to combined. 3 days in Rovinj itinerary: Day 1: arrive, book taxi in advance to avoid the scam, to get to Rovinj it should be 50e for 4 seats car and 70 for 8 seats (like a van). Depend what time you arrive, if it is morning, you can chill at Mulini beach. Day 2: Visit old town in the morning, be careful with slipery floor, swim in the beach close to the church, afternoon come to Villa Rubin beach or do the sunset dolphin cruise. Day 3: Island hopping and leave the town heading to other nice city of Croatia. My fav restaurant in Croatia is Neptun, they have affordable price with exelent food.

Rovinj As a key tourist destination in the Mediterranean region, Rovinj attracts a large number of European visitors annually from countries like Italy and Germany, thanks to its vibrant harbor featuring both fishing boats and yachts, maze-like cobblestone alleys, and surrounding natural landscapes such as forest parks. The city blends the artistic ambiance of Italy's Tuscany with the romantic charm of Venice, with historical relics in its old town including three remaining ancient city gates from the Venetian era and the Balbi Arch.

Rovinj, a small town in the northwest corner of Croatia facing Venice across the Adriatic Sea, is an ideal summer vacation destination for many Croatians and Europeans. Coinciding with Friday and Croatia's Independence Day, crowds of tourists flooded into the town. Century-old houses cling to the hillside, their vibrant facades paired with red roofs. The cobblestone streets rise and fall, polished smooth and shiny, putting walkers' stamina to the test. The towering bell tower of St. Euphemia's Church atop the central hill is the town's landmark. Here, you'll find all kinds of water activities—yachting, kayaking, diving, dolphin watching, and more. Sunset viewing is also a popular event; by evening, outdoor seats at seaside restaurants are long taken. Even doing nothing—just strolling or daydreaming—is deeply satisfying. And everywhere you look, the tempting sweetness of gelato envelops your senses.
