Description

Meet your local guide outside the farmers' market in Rovinj's lower town. Your guide is a native who will share authentic stories and answer your questions.

Start at Valdibora Square, the first area seen when approaching Rovinj from the north. Learn about the canal and bridge that once existed here and how the canal was filled in a thousand years ago, turning Rovinj into a peninsula.

Walk along Carera Street to understand the 18th-century wealth from trade in olive oil, fish, and wine. Pause at the waterfront, an ideal place for an Aperol Spritz. Navigate cobbled lanes towards the old Jewish Ghetto and stables. Follow ancient city walls uphill to Saint Euphemia church, overlooking the city and a prime spot for Adriatic sunsets.

By the end, you will know where locals buy fresh produce, where to enjoy excellent coffee, and where to find outstanding cakes and gelato. This tour offers a perspective not found in guidebooks.
