Lovran is a town with a long and rich history and a century-old tradition in tourism. It was named after the bay laurel (laurus nobilis), which grows abundantly in the evergreen groves in the town and its surroundings.

Lovran is located on the eastern coast of Istria in Kvarner Bay, at the foot of Učka, the greenest and most vegetation-rich mountain on the Adriatic. It is 19 km from Rijeka, 14 km from the railway station in Matulji, and 80 km from the airport in Pula.

It is surrounded by high mountains to the north and west - Učka (1,396 m), Snježnik (1,605 m), and Risnjak (1,528 m) - and by the islands of Krk and Cres on the seaward side, which makes its position exceptionally well protected from winds. In the winter months, the most common wind is the bora from the north, bringing clear and cold weather; the sirocco brings rain and high humidity, while in summer the maestral from the open sea brings freshness and eases humidity and heat.

Lovran has preserved its historic core with its medieval urban layout. The old town was surrounded by a defensive wall and bastions, on whose foundations and walls houses were later built over time.

The courtyards of the Old Town are a distinctive and charming feature of Mediterranean urban architecture. Behind the stone portal, the facades of neighboring houses can be seen, decorated with stairways, porches, and covered passageways, while in the middle of the courtyard rises the stone neck of a cistern.

In the 21st century, Lovran offers a rich historical heritage, a century-old tourism tradition, preserved nature, and developed infrastructure, enabling a renewed rise of tourism with sustainable development and respect for all ecological standards.

A favorable climate, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and an advantageous geographical position enabled the strong development of tourism at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Since then, Lovran, together with Opatija, has been the most important place on the famous Riviera, and several villas built in that period are counted among the world's architectural heritage.
