Rovinj Map and how to arrive

How to arrive

Thanks to its favorable geographical location and the modern road network, Croatia has become a popular destination for many tourists from all over Europe. This is especially true for Istria, the northernmost region bordering with Slovenia. The town of Rovinj is located right here, on the west coast of the largest Adriatic peninsula, less than an hour's drive from the border with Italy. Here's how to reach us:

By car

Thanks to its comfort and effectiveness, this is the preferred form of transport for most of our guests. It is even more true after the inauguration of the motorway which connects Rovinj to the European network of highways. If you are arriving by car, you will most likely use the border crossings between Croatia and Slovenia or Hungary. There are three main arrival directions:

• from North (from the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Northern Italy and Slovenia)
  a) Villach → Udine → Trieste → Koper → border crossing Plovania or Kaštel → Rovinj
  b) Graz → Maribor → Ljubljana → Koper → border crossing Plovania or Kaštel → Rovinj
• from West (coming from Switzerland and Italy)
  Venezia → Trieste → Koper → border crossing Plovania or Kastel → Rovinj
• from East (from Poland, Slovakia and Serbia)
  border crossing Goričani (or Bajakovo for Serbia) → Zagreb → Rijeka → Učka tunnel → Rovinj

By ship

If you are coming from Italy, you should seriously consider the sea route that connects Venice and Trieste to Rovinj. Nothing compares to the experience of travel by sea, especially as you approach the port of Rovinj, admiring the old town at the feet of the Church of Santa Euphemia, the patron of the city.

This type of connection gains more and more popularity because it is a fast and valuable alternative to those who dislike wasting their time in long car queues. The high-speed ferries and hydrofoils run almost every day, and the ride takes less than 4 h from Venice to Rovinj (70 nautical miles). To find out more visit the sites of Venezia Lines or Direct Ferries.
