Other Tourist Scams in Rovinj

Overpriced Gallery Art Pressure Sale

Several small galleries in Rovinj Old Town use high-pressure tactics to push tourists into purchasing local artwork, often implying that prices are fixed and non-negotiable when in fact they are inflated for impulsive buyers. Sales staff follow visitors around the gallery, establish personal rapport, and make declining to buy feel socially awkward. Some visitors report feeling trapped and purchasing items they did not want at prices well above what similar work sells for elsewhere.
