One of Croatia’s lesser-known UNESCO entries is the fabulous bell ringer carnival in the northwest of the country, a festival centred around the small town of Halubje. If you can’t make it to the festival, visiting this brilliant house in Viškovo (6 miles north of Rijeka) is the next best thing. The House of the Halubje Bell Ringer preserves the fascinating traditions of the region and showcases them in an interactive manner, with a packed calendar of events and an on-site restaurant for the peckish.
