Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Pula à Rovinj

Ready for a ride along Istria’s sparkling coast? This relaxed cycling route takes you from the ancient city of Pula—famous for its Roman amphitheater—all the way up to the charming old town of Rovinj. It’s about 44 km, mostly on quiet roads and countryside tracks, with just a few busier stretches. Expect a mix of terrain: mostly paved and asphalt, but you’ll hit some gravel and unpaved sections too, giving your ride a touch of adventure.

You’ll roll through gentle hills (with about 390 meters of climbing, nothing too wild) and get glimpses of olive groves, vineyards, and the blue Adriatic. When you reach Rovinj, reward yourself by exploring its cobbled streets and colorful waterfront. Both towns are top Istrian destinations—one with ancient Roman vibes, the other with that irresistible Venetian flair. Make sure to grab a gelato after your ride!
