The old town of Labin built on the site of a prehistoric fortification on top of a hill, 320m above sea level, is surrounded by beautiful forests.
Labin is right next to Rabac, the most famous seaside resort on the Eastern coast of Istria.
The town museum, recommended by Lonely Planet, hosts an archaeological exhibition and miniature coal mine.
There is a Memorial collection dedicated to Matthias Flacius Illyricus, famous Lutheran reformer from Labin.
