The port is great, as there are plenty of pleasure boats that can take you on various day/ half day trips. We took one that went to 'Red Island' for the day. This was a fantastic trip, as there are some lovely beaches there to swim & sunbathe on. Also a large hotel there, where you can go for a drink & use their facilities. Also restaurant just by the harbour which was excellent.

If you did not know better you might think that you were in a small Italian port. Because of its' location on the Adriatic and the obvious influence of the Venitians, the scene is similar. Wandering around the Port you see both the tourists and the locals intermingle, people visit, children play, tourists snap pictures, the smell of food infuses the air around you and merchants and boat captains hawk their wares. Spend time in the early morning before the crowds to really feel this old town or in the early evening having a drink or Italian ice while the sun sets across the sea.

Old venecian style village on a hill surrounded by the city walls. lovely walk up to the basilica although possibly not for those with a disability. Great views from the top.

A largely undiscovered destination for Americans, the northern Europeans really like this place, and now I know why. My family and I visited here in early spring, rented a Brit expat's apartment near the center of the shopping street, and truly enjoyed the town and local area. The hill with the venetian church spire atop it, once was separated from the mainland by a narrow causeway. Now it's all connected and a cool little fishing village that caters to the tourist trade.With the advent of the Euro into the economy, it's likely more expensive in 2015, but I'd return to the town anyway!

The fisherman sit mending their nets and if the sun is shining (as it was for us) it is a glorious scene with all the old boats.

Had a amazing day spent at the port of rovinj. Nice clear morning with ample sunlight and cool breeze watching the fishing trailers emptying their overnight catch along with tourist getting in and out of small cruise ships, berthed at the port for short stop-over. it was fun walking though the narrow alleys upto the church and soaking in the amazing view from there.

Beyond my expectations! Visited as last port of call on an Adriatic cruise August 2012. The ship berthed in the town. Beware though of the walking surface in the old part of town. I had to return to the ship to change my footwear! Fantastic views for photography!

The setting is absolutely fantastic, right on water, tight and winding streets, filled with restaurants, shops and sights. Stay right in town as it really enhances a visit. Do go on the shoulder seasons. I went in August and it was crowded, but still enjoyed the 3 night stay.

This is a delightful old port area, with stunning views up towards the old town. There are plenty of bars & restaurants dotted around, and the whole area encourages you to stroll through the narrow lanes and soak up the atmosphere.If you walk right round the harbour you come to the bathing areas of some of the mart hotels that back onto the front.Very enjoyable - well recommended!
