Explore Rovinj live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Old Town is worth asking about: the hillside core rising around the Church of St Euphemia.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Church of St Euphemia A Baroque church topping the old town's hill, its bell tower modelled on the Campanile in Venice and crowned with a weathervane statue of the saint.
  • Balbi's Arch The main gate into the old town, built in 1679 on the site of a demolished tower, carved with a Turk's head facing out and a Venetian's head facing in.
  • Rovinj's bilingual old town Officially bilingual Croatian and Italian, with street names and signage still given in both languages.
  • Grisia Street A steep cobbled lane lined with artist studios and small galleries, home to an open-air art exhibition each August.
  • The old town postcard viewpoint A spot near the marina giving the classic view of the hillside old town rising straight from the water.
  • Batana House A small waterfront museum dedicated to the batana, a flat-bottomed wooden fishing boat unique to Rovinj.
  • Rovinj waterfront promenade A harbourside walk lined with fishing boats and cafes, curving around the base of the old town hill.
