Located in eastern Nebraska, on the west bank of the Missouri River, Omaha is the state's largest city and an important economic and cultural hub. As the central metropolis of the Prairie State, Omaha is known as the "City of Wealth" for its agricultural, financial, insurance and telecommunication industries, as well as for its location of world-renowned corporations such as Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett's headquarters) and Union Pacific Railroad. The city is known as the "City of Wealth". Culturally, the city is home to the world-renowned Henry Doorly Zoo (one of the best public zoos in the U.S.), the Old Market Historic District (19th-century architecture and specialty stores), and the Omaha Children's Museum. With a low cost of living, friendly neighborhoods, and a combination of urban energy and natural beauty, the city is a model for livability and growth in the Midwest.
Hum is located in the north-central Croatia Istria Peninsula, Guinness World Records certified "the world's smallest city". This miniature ancient city has a population of only about 20-30 people, but has a complete urban structure and a thousand years of history. Its iconic stone-walled hilltop castle, built in 1102 as a medieval military fortress, still retains its Romanesque architecture.
The 12th-century church of St. Jerome, with its frescoes in Gothic and Renaissance styles, remains in the old town of Khoum. The traditional annual "Election of the Mayor of Khum", in which the inhabitants of Khum vote for their leader on wooden boards, is a unique folklore that has been practiced for centuries. At the entrance to the city, the stone boulevard "Glagolitic Alley" inscribes the history of Croatian writing in the ancient Glagolitic alphabet.
Visitors can walk through the main street, which is only 100 meters long, and visit the hand-forged silver jewelry workshop in Hum and taste the local specialty, Biska. It is a 2-hour drive from the capital Zagreb, and it is recommended to combine this with a visit to the nearby town of Rovin. The best time to visit is from May to September, when you can take part in the medieval-themed summer festivals.
