Question 3

Is Rovinj walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Old Town is best on foot, with cobbled lanes up to St. Euphemia and sea views all around. The marina, market, and Mulini Beach are a 10 to 20 minute walk.

For farther beaches and Punta Corrente forest park, use the seasonal tourist train from the marina or local buses from the station towards Polari and Villas Rubin; taxi boats run to Red Island. For an easy way to link viewpoints, coves, and nearby hill towns, consider a private tour in Rovinj with private transportation.
