Rovinj, Croatia

Italo-Slavic heritage and contemporary Croatian culture mix effortlessly in the northern Adriatic town of Rovinj. Colorful palazzos and historic buildings fill its beautiful Venetian-era Old Town, where you’ll find the Baroque Church of St. Euphemia. Climb its 60-meter-tall bell tower for spectacular panoramic views of the city, the Istrian Peninsula and the Rovinj archipelago. Linking the older and new districts, Tito Square is the lively town center, and home to a landmark clock tower, arch and museum. From here a long promenade extends along the harbor and marina and takes you all the way to Golden Cape, a tranquil forest. In the evening, chill out with a drink in the Old Town or head to the northwest end of the harbor for a relaxing sundowner.
