Rovinj is located on the western coast of Istria, the biggest Adriatic peninsula. It is a 3 hour boat ride from Venice and less than two hours from Trieste, 270 km away from Zagreb, a little bit more than 500 km away from Vienna and around 700 km away from Munich. Rovinj is a splendid medieval town surrounded by beautiful countryside in a region that has been described as the new Tuscany. Rovinj has a Mediterranean climate, the average temperature in July is 22.3 C and at times reaches 35 C. Formerly part of the Venetian Empire (the region supplied Venice with timber for its fleet), the town has a rich history and fascinating buildings rising from the narrow cobbled streets. The area offers, as well as beaches and water activities, plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities such as cycling, tennis and climbing.
