Highlights
  • Trsat Castle - Trsat Castle stands as a strategically placed lookout on a hill 138 meters above sea level, overlooking Rijeka. It was first mentioned as a parochial center in 1288. The site originally hosted a Liburnian observation post from prehistoric times, used to monitor the roads from the hinterland to the coast. The Romans later utilized this location to establish their defense system, known as the Liburnian limes, starting from the Tarsatica fortress town, which is now the site of Rijeka’s Old City.

The Frankopan dynasty from Krk fortified and expanded the castle, using it as a vantage point to protect their territories. Trsat remained under Frankopan control from the 13th to the 15th century before falling under Hapsburg rule. After an earthquake damaged the castle in 1750, Austrian field marshal Laval Nugent purchased and restored the ruins.

  • Opatija - Opatija stands out from other tourist towns due to its rich history and distinctive appearance, earning it names like “Old Dame,” “Pearl of the Adriatic,” and “Queen of Tourism.” Opatija is an excellent destination in both summer and winter. For over 170 years, its beautiful nature, parks, historic villas, promenades, and beaches have attracted tourists from around the globe. The town is renowned for its elegant hotels, well-maintained parks, and the unique “Lungomare” promenade.
