City in Croatia

Rijeka

3 things to see

Croatia’s biggest port city reinvented itself as European Capital of Culture 2020, turning industrial heritage into galleries, street art, and cultural venues. Its working-city character keeps prices well below the Dalmatian coast, and the budget pleasures are free: strolling the Korzo promenade, climbing to Trsat for the castle viewpoint, and tracing the street-art trail. Rijeka is the gateway to the islands of Kvarner Bay and sits close to seaside Opatija, the Istrian town of Pula, and the capital Zagreb by rail. Shoulder-season spring and autumn bring mild weather and lower coastal-region prices than the summer peak.

Things to do in Rijeka

What each one costs, where the cost is known.

City Clock Tower

A baroque yellow clock tower that serves as Rijeka's most recognizable landmark. It marks the entrance to the old town and costs nothing to admire from the Korzo.

Monument · Rijeka

Korzo

Rijeka's main pedestrian promenade, buzzing with cafes and street life. Free to stroll, and the cheapest coffee in coastal Croatia is found in the side streets.

Street · Rijeka

Trsat Castle

A hilltop fortress with free entry and sweeping views over the Kvarner Gulf. The climb up the Petar Kresimir IV staircase (561 steps) is a workout, but the panorama is the payoff.
