Top Castles in Rijeka

I think it's smart to bring a water bottle. There are some spots to refill, and it can get really warm on the way up. Trust me, I wish I had saved my euros instead of buying bottled water.

Check out the art gallery inside the fortress; it was a surprise find! I didn't expect much, but it had some cool local pieces that were worth seeing. Plus, it was a nice break from the heat!

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds were a bit overwhelming— we had to wait for the best photo spots and it made the experience feel rushed. Much calmer on weekdays!
