Tips

  • Labin
    In the east of Istria and minutes from the sea, this charming medieval town is rich in history and cultural heritage. Nestled on a hilltop, today it's a city of galleries and artists who live and create magic here throughout the year.
  • The first time a shooting bullet was ever captured in a photograph was here in Rijeka in an experiment conducted by Dr Peter Salcher.
