Rovinj

The picturesque townscape, the numerous beaches in the vicinity of the city, especially on the Golden Cape and the convenient location for exploring the surrounding area e.g. B. to the Lim Canal, make the city an attractive tourist destination. The 22 islands in front of the city, such as the Crveni Otok (Red Island; Italian San Andrea), which are easy to reach by boat and also offer bathing and diving opportunities, are also scenically attractive. The harbor promenade and numerous restaurants and shops in the city center, which is closed to vehicles, invite you to stroll.

For cyclists there is a cycle path (starting point is the marina), well signposted to the Polari campsite - approx. 4 km through pine forests and past bathing bays. Motorists can cover the last 15 km from the Istrian Ypsilon at the intersection of A8/A9 via the D303.

Rovinj had a direct rail connection to the Divača–Pula line in Kanfanar. The single-track line, a good 20 km long, ended north of the old town on the waterfront. It was abandoned many years ago, but is still clearly visible on satellite images - as are some level crossings in the street paving. Their course is still drawn in OpenStreetMap as well as the Bing and Google maps even in 2012, even if in the latter sometimes a few meters are not quite congruent with the actual landmarks.
