Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Vrsar à Rovinj

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming coastal town of Vrsar to the picturesque old town of Rovinj, winding through the rolling Istrian countryside. Starting in Vrsar, known for its hilltop views and marina, you’ll quickly find yourself riding along a mix of gravel and quiet rural tracks—perfect for adventurers who prefer a bit of dust on their wheels.

Most of the 29 km ride is unpaved or gravel, so expect a little extra rumble and keep your camera handy—vineyards and olive groves line much of the way. You’ll face just under 400 meters of climbing, but nothing too steep. As you approach Rovinj, the reward is the coastal views and the town’s iconic skyline, dominated by the church of St. Euphemia.

Rovinj, with its Venetian architecture, cobbled alleys, and lively waterfront, is a classic end to a truly Istrian ride. Stop for a gelato or a fresh seafood lunch, and enjoy the Adriatic breeze—you’ve earned it!
