Top Attractions in Rijeka
💡 Climb is only about 30 steps to the first level; the view is decent but not spectacular – do it for the history, not panoramas. The bell rings every hour, directly overhead.
💡 Bring a jacket; the tunnel stays around 14°C even in summer. The entrance is almost unmarked, behind the flashy shopping centre near Jadranski Trg.
💡 It's a good spot for a picnic – buy burek and yoghurt from a nearby bakery. Hardly any tourists come here, so it's a real local slice of calm, five minutes from the Korzo bustle.
💡 Go before 10am for the best fruit. Try the smoked cheese (škripavac) from the island of Krk. Cash only – there's an ATM just outside the market but queues can be long.
💡 Go late afternoon for the best light over the city and the sea. The climb is steep; take a bus (line 1, 1a or 1b) up from the centre to save your legs.
