    An interesting place to visit,especially for those who are interested in historical buildings as well as the religious aspect.
    There is also a cafe shop in the castle grounds that has a full view of the city.

    We visited the museum in August during a very hot day.
    It´s a nice cool place with lots and lots of interesting old electronics
    - and - you can touch and try it!
    If you get bored with computers history details -
    Just play Pacman, Mario cart or Mortal Combat!
    A "Must Visit" for every age with only a slight interest in technology.
    (Not paid to write that - Also my first review of this length on tripadvisor)

    A beautiful piece or architecture!
    Unfortunately we couldn't get in else I believe I'd give it a 5* rating.
    Still the walk to this Theatre is worth your time as you'll probably pass by the Market, Mercato, and the park just in front of it.

    Yes, we are fond of markets and any chance we get to visit one is not wasted.
    This one doesn't seem to be a Tourist Marker (as we saw in Zagreb) but the real thing, one where people here do their shopping and buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat or fish, you name it.
    We bought some fruit and really enjoyed this nutrition balancing to the right side ;-)

    This is a very interesting place. A beautiful view from a height of the Adriatic Sea and the islands. A place surrounded by forest and beautiful nature near the national park.

    Nice and central. Interesting history and a bit unusual with the circular building. Interesting story of the single shell inbedded in the wall. Worth to see inside as well.

    This beautiful tower is situated in the middle of Korzo, the pedestrian street of Rijeka and is not without reminding the similar one in Ljubljana.
    Lots of café, bars, shopping, restaurants so a perfect place to stroll and have a meal.
    This tower is also probably the best meeting point in Rijeka if you need to meet someone (or get back to your organized tour)

    On a hill with a nice view of rijeka and close by the castle you find this nice and peacuful area with very big area with a big park, church and monastery. The area is dedicated to mary. In front if the church you have a statue of the pope john paul when he visited it. The church itself is not big but there is a nice room with a lot of things people leave as a thank you mary.

    We couldn't get in but still as it is a beautiful piece of architecture, it was worth the walk.
    We walked from the Korzo to the Mercato and the National theatre so if you do the same you'll probably pass by this beautiful building.

    It´s one of those museums where the building is more remarkable than the exhibits. And still, there are some interesting things on display.
    The staircase and the courtyard are the highlights. The rest is a peculiar mixture of antique furniture and paintings that make this museum look more like a palace.

    The modern art exhibitiion and the Homeland War memorials look out of place.It´s an excellent choice for a rainy day.

    Very small beach - quiet in the evenings but very busy in the daytime - we barely found room for 2 small towels in the afternoon. 20 minute walk from the centre of Rijeka or get the bus for very little.

    Toilet available which was surprisingly clean and pleasant (for a public toilet).
    Cool beach bar with good prices, and a DJ in the evenings after a sunset swim.

    Water is warm and clear.
