The beautiful coast of Istria, contiguous to the Lim Canal, is where you will find the most romantic spot in the Mediterranean! The City of Rovinj-Rovigno is the right destination for all those yearning for sentimental ambience of bygone times. It can be found here, in the Mediterranean city whose romantic life began on an island so cramped for space that its houses were close-built, its streets narrow and its squares small, all of which have still managed not to be affected by modern urbanism.
On its seaward side, the city is sheltered by a high rocky shore and the house walls built on cliffs, whereas a firm rampart protects the city landwards. The city is towered by the baroque church of St. Euphemia whose 60-metre bell tower commands the view of grey and red roofs and chimneys, streets and squares, the port and the quay with ships and boats and the marina with yachts.
The unique historic core, the 67-kilometre long coastline, the 2,289 hectares of protected green areas and the landscaped park forest, the 22 islands, islets and crags make this city truly one-of-a-kind.
Rooted in its long fishing tradition, the city is renowned for its distinctive batana boat and bitinada songs. Its beauty was especially admired by artists who painted and exhibited the most beautiful motifs of the city in Grisia – the street of artists.
Rovinj prides itself on its extraordinary quality of life, for it offers countless possibilities ranging from walks amidst the amazingly beautiful natural surroundings, sports and recreational activities, sailing, diving and cycling to the discovery of hidden beauties, cultural heritage, archeological sites, culinary specialties…On the other hand, Rovinj is also a city ceaselessly committed to investing in preschool and school facilities, its sports and social standards ranked among the highest in Croatia. In fact, the city area boasts two particularly important scholarly institutions – the Centre for Marine Biology and the Centre for Historical Research, as well as the Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Hospital also on its way to becoming a research centre in the field of clinical medicine and basic medical science, i.e. the branches of neuroscience, physical medicine, rehabilitation and orthopaedics.

The tourism sector keeps investing in the improvement of the quality of accommodation facilities. Attractive world renowned events are funded in collaboration with the public sector.
