Croatia Istria Pazin

Pazin by T. S.

Small and unassuming, this relaxed town is home to several interesting historic landmarks, nearby natural attractions, and a museum.

The current town was mostly built beneath the medieval fortress. The present-day Castle Montecuccoli was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th century and disassembled in the 18th and 19th. It has been a museum since the end of World War II. The Pazin ponor (Pazinska jama/Foiba) located under the castle was partially explored by Édouard-Alfred Martel in 1896 and is the best example of karst hydrography and morphology in Istria. Castle and a gorge inspired Jules Verne for the novel Mathias Sandorf of 1885.

Your website was a revelation! Our holiday organizing would not have been possible without it! The minute I found the site and starting navigating it I was telling everyone about it. I played around with it for about 3 months before we actually booked our holiday in February 2016. It was amazing to see the distance and time between each destination and the routes we could take. Then going onto the hotel booking section was very easy. Your team were great when we were missing a confirmation email as well. We had an amazing trip and I would recommend to anyone travelling around instead of lying on a beach for 2 weeks. We also got engaged while we were in Rome, so it was the perfect holiday!!

My husband and I enjoyed our days in Switzerland immensely. Each hotel was perfect for us. Each was different. Each was in a great place for walking trips and good food. We were a bit nervous about the reservations, but you exceeded our expectations. We will use RoutePerfect again and tell others about the great tools you have that make trip planning so much fun. Thank you.
