Rovinj – Ístria Destination Istria

How to get there

  • Zračna luka Pula (PUY) Pula · 40 km
  • Autobusni kolodvor Rovinj 1 km

Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Confirm before buying. Use PUY as the reference airport and continue by road, about 40 km. Regional buses link Rovinj to Istria's bases; compare options depending on the season.

How many days

Two days combine the old peninsula and Zlatni rt.

When to go

April to June and September to October are usually mild. In summer, June to August, the days are long, with stronger heat in July and August.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Vehicles are kept outside the old part. On foot you can combine the center and the southern coast; for other towns, use bus or car.
