Self guided walking tour of Rovinj with audio guide

Start your walk at Rovinj Market in Valdibora Square. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the open-air stalls and waterfront setting, where trade, color, and salt air still define the city’s rhythm.

Stand before the red façade of the Califfi Palace and observe its Baroque windows and stone details, a former noble residence that now anchors the square from the outside.

Pause under the Balbi Arch and look up at the carved stone faces and the Lion of Saint Mark, the ceremonial gateway that once controlled entry to the island city.

Walk across Piazza Matteotti and take in the pastel façades and harbor views, a square built on land reclaimed from the sea when Rovinj stopped being an island.

Climb Grisia Street and admire its steep stone pavement, shuttered windows, and gallery-lined façades, an outdoor corridor where art and daily life merge.

Look up at the bell tower of St. Euphemia and observe its Venetian-inspired form and rotating statue, a landmark visible from almost anywhere in town.

Stand on the rocks of Monte Beach and take in the contrast between stone, sea, and the church above, a raw edge where the old town meets the Adriatic.

View the remaining sections of the old city walls and notice how houses are built directly into the fortifications, turning defense into everyday architecture.

Wrap up your tour on the Riva promenade. Take a moment to enjoy the waterfront, the tightly packed façades, and the place where Rovinj’s island past finally met the mainland before ending your walk.
