The entirety of the Croatian coast has become a playground for holidaymakers and Rovinj is eventually succumbing to tourism’s relentless demands. The town is oftentimes regarded as one of the last remaining, authentic fishing ports on the Mediterranean, though entrepreneurs and business owners have capitalised on the increase in visitors by building numerous luxury hotels and fine restaurants. For a coastal town to grow, modernisation is simply inevitable. If you look past the modern buildings and souvenir shops, there is still plenty of charm and tradition evident in the Old Town – colourful houses line the streets and quaint cafes offer refreshments – hours can easily be whiled away amid the simplistic tranquillity. The Old Town may be a particular haven of peace, but the entire town remains relaxed all year round. The summer sun brings the couples and families to enjoy the weather and romantic surroundings, but the abundance of bars and eateries still remain fairly roomy and comfortable. The only area that becomes slightly overcrowded is the beach, but even so it is possible to find some towel space to top op your tan.
Bicycle hire is very affordable and the paths and tracks lend themselves to an adventure on two wheels. The Old Town is quite small so it is possible to walk around all of it.
Often disregarded in the search for a weekend break, Trieste holds everything you’d need for a relaxing holiday around the coast of Central Europe. Boasting beautiful buildings, a host of nomadic writers and artists amid confident claims to lay home to Italy’s finest coffee, the quintessential Italian experience is engulfed within the confines of this gorgeous city. A whole afternoon could be spent perusing the sights, soaking in the remarkable structures adorned on the Piazza Unita d’Italia and the Grande Canal in between stopping for a coffee at one of the charming cafes. Trieste in the summer and spring is as idyllic as you could imagine. The wealth of landmarks that are dotted around the Old Town are the perfect antidote for anyone with a penchant for historical architecture. San Giusto Cathedral is the standout attraction; the incredible structures and intricate design cause many to marvel at the edifice. The myriad of impressive buildings can lead to a lengthy itinerary, so treat yourself to some traditional Italian cuisine at one of the fine restaurants at the end of a tiresome day.
Many coach tour companies offer a thorough insight into the city, and for independent travel, bus companies cover the entirety of the city.
