Venice
Venice is an Italian city of 261 401 inhabitants, about 400 000 in the whole urban area, the capital of the homonymous metropolitan city and the Veneto region. It is the first municipality in the region by population and eleventh in Italy and the first in Veneto by area. The municipality of Venice includes both island and mainland territories and is organized around the two main centers of Venice (at the center of the homonymous lagoon) and Mestre (in the mainland).
The city of Venice has been the capital of the Republic of Venice for more than a thousand years and is known in this regard as the Serenissima, the Dominant and the Queen of the Adriatic. Due to its urban features and its artistic heritage, Venice is universally considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is included, together with its lagoon, among the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Italy: this factor has contributed to making it the third Italian city (after Rome and Milan) with the highest tourist flow, mostly coming from outside Italy.

Rovinj
Rovinj is a Croatian fishing port on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. The historic center is located on a promontory and is characterized by narrow houses close to each other up to the waterfront. A tangle of paved streets leads to the Cathedral of Sant'Eufemia, located on a hill and whose imposing bell tower dominates the skyline. South of the old town is Baia Lone, one of the pebble beaches in the area. The 14 islands of the Rovinj archipelago are immediately close to the mainland.
