Rovinj Hotels
Because of its beautiful vibe and amazing beaches, Rovinj is a popular destination in Croatia. This means the rooms are selling out very fast and you have to book yours as soon as possible in order to make sure you will stay in your desired hotel!
As I already mentioned, the city is quite small and you can walk practically anywhere, so the neighborhood you choose to stay in doesn’t really matter too much. But for those of you who are still interested, in the best neighborhoods of Rovinj, here is a quick rundown:
The best place to stay in Rovinj if you are visiting for the first time is the Old Town, especially if you are just staying for one day. It’s full of historic charm, beautiful architecture, great food and art, located in the center of it all. The area immediatly surrounding the Old Town is a little more residential, less touristy but still well connected to all the attractions.
Southern Rovinj will bring you to the best seaside part of the city. With a huge promonade lining the water and large green parks, this area is perfect for families looking for a laid back vacation. The town doesn’t have a super bumping party scene but if you are looking for some chilled nightlife, Southern Rovinj is also a good choice thanks to it’s number of resorts.
