The administrative capital of Istria County, set in the very heart of the Istrian peninsula above a dramatic limestone chasm through which the Pazinčica river disappears underground — a geological wonder that inspired Jules Verne's adventure novel Mathias Sandorf. Pazin Castle, one of the best-preserved in Istria, stands guard over the gorge and houses the Ethnographic Museum and the Museum of Istria. The town is an excellent base for exploring inland Istria's truffles, wine, and hilltop villages.

Om de drukte van het hoogseizoen (juli–augustus) te vermijden, kies je beter voor mei–juni of september–oktober — de zee is nog warm, de prijzen zijn lager en de attracties minder druk.
