Rijeka

Start with the centre

Use the City Tower as your meeting point and take Korzo at your own pace. For a short visit, pick one exhibition and leave time for coffee.

Take a turn towards photography

Galerija Principij is at Pod voltun 4, near the Old Gate and St Vitus Cathedral. It specialises in photography. Check its exhibition programme before you go; choosing a show gives a walk through the centre a clear destination.

Give the market its own stop

The city market on Vatroslava Lisinskog Street brings together market pavilions and a fish market. Look at the buildings as well as the stalls: their decoration includes fruit, vegetables and sea creatures. Check trading hours when planning a visit to shop.

Keep an indoor option

Filodrammatica at Korzo 28/1 presents contemporary art, including installations and new media. Check the current programme and visiting times before making this your rainy-day stop. The gallery opens during exhibitions and is closed on Sundays and public holidays. If the exhibition and visiting times fit your day, organise the rest of your walk around that visit, with a break nearby afterwards.

Plan your visit

Time to allow. Our suggestion: half a day for Korzo, the Old Town and a stop at the market; a full day if you add Trsat and a relaxed lunch. This is a planning estimate, not a timed route.

Without a car. Explore the centre on foot. For Trsat, choose the Petar Kružić steps if you want an uphill walk, or check Autotrolej bus 2. Check the timetable and service notices before leaving.

Arriving by car. Use Rijeka plus for parking locations, payment information and current conditions. Availability can change.
