The Smallest City in The World

Hum is situated in the centre of Istria with barely 20 inhabitants. Only an hour-long pleasant drive from Umag, you can turn your trip to Hum into a beautiful story of Istrian small towns. This hidden part of Istria is extremely friendly to random visitors and you can always find a parking space there and as traffic jams are rare even in the peak of the summer season.

So small! Is it really a city?

The criteria for being classified as a city differ from country to country. We think this video explains it well and also shows off some of the views you can see in Hum, including the preserved city walls there are and its two small streets with three rows of houses. Incidentally, many regard the Vatican City as the smallest city in the world. In fact the Vatican City is a Sovereign State, so really it’s a country! Today, Hum is a city-monument, one of the rare examples of urban development within city walls.
