Town in Croatia
4 things to see
Rovinj is a colorful Istrian fishing town where the real attraction, the maze of cobblestone streets climbing to St. Euphemia’s church on the hill, costs nothing to wander. The rocky shoreline doubles as free public swimming spots, so a towel and a swimsuit replace any beach-club fee. Pair it with nearby Pula and its Roman amphitheatre for a cheap Istrian loop, and aim for late spring or September to skip peak-summer prices and crowds.

A Baroque church crowning Rovinj's hilltop old town with a 60-meter bell tower modeled on St. Mark's in Venice.
A protected cape south of the old town with shaded walking and cycling trails through pine and cypress forest leading to rocky swimming coves. Completely free and a refreshing escape from the summer crowds.
A tightly packed peninsula of cobblestone lanes, colorful Venetian-style houses, and artist galleries tumbling down to the waterfront. Free to wander and one of the most photogenic old towns on the entire Adriatic coast.
