The route, honestly explained

Rovinj is the postcard Istria comes on: a Venetian bell tower on a peninsula of ochre houses, dropping straight into the sea. It is about 40 minutes from Pula Airport, two hours from Trieste and three and a half from Zagreb. Buses connect Pula and Rovinj but not the airport itself, and Rovinj’s old town is pedestrian and steeply cobbled, so the practical question on arrival is always the same one — how close to the door can the car actually get. We answer it before you land rather than after.

Local knowledge

Rovinj’s old town is a hill with a church on top, and the streets are polished limestone that turns slick in rain — worth knowing before you plan a walk up to St Euphemia in the wrong shoes. Inland, the Mirna valley truffle season peaks in autumn and the hill towns are twenty minutes apart; an hourly chauffeur booking links three or four of them in an afternoon far better than a hire car and a parking hunt.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the transfer from Pula Airport to Rovinj?

About 40 minutes for the 40 km.

Which airport is best for Rovinj?

Pula is closest by a wide margin. Trieste and Venice are alternatives on cheaper long-haul connections, at two and three and a half hours respectively.

Can the car reach our apartment in the old town?

The old town is pedestrian. We drop as close as the restrictions allow and help with the bags for the last stretch, which is usually uphill.

Do you arrange Istrian day trips?

Yes, by the hour — hill towns, wineries and truffle hunts, with the driver waiting between stops.

Are cross-border transfers to Italy or Slovenia possible?

Yes, with advance notice so the vehicle documents and insurance are in order.
