Rovinj Old Town, Croatia
An Old Town aglow
Streetlights brighten the byways and plazas of this pleasant peninsula-on-a-peninsula-on-a-peninsula. Rovinj, Croatia, is encircled by the mild Adriatic Sea on the west coast of Istria, a large peninsula jutting off the much larger Balkan Peninsula. Perusing the Old Town's many streets and alleys, you'll hear chitchat in Croatian, a bit of Italian and maybe even a smidge of Istriot – a now-rare Romance language once widely spoken in this diverse region of Europe.

Perusing this town's many streets and alleys, you'll hear chatter in multiple languages.
