The Town of Hum
The smallest city in the world, Hum is a symbol of medieval architecture and culture. Thanks to its shape, we can safely say that this small town is entirely a city-monument.

Museum Of Hum Aura
The Museum of Hum Aura is located in a medieval building in the smallest town in the world – Hum in Istria. The building played an important role in creating the social, economic, and political life of Homjans (the citizens of Hum). The permanent exhibition of the museum consists of almost 1500 exhibits carefully arranged in 11 thematic units. Each room represents an indispensable segment of the ancestors' life and dominant craft shops in the last 150 years: pharmacy, school, post office, shop, distillery, shoemaker, carpenter, tailor, mill, fresco painting workshop, and a thematic room dedicated to the Glagolitic script. Five rooms are interactive, so in the school, you can write a postcard using Glagolitic letters and send it to your home address from the post office. You can also make your own cream in the pharmacy, as all the necessary ingredients are provided. You can grind coffee beans in an old mill and fill a bottle of brandy with your signed label in an old distillery.
The Angiolina Park - Villa Angiolina
Experience the beauty of one of Opatija’s most beautiful parks, described as the green heart of the town. The camellia, which thrives in this park, has become a symbol of Opatija.
