Top Culture in Rijeka

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!

My advice is to grab a coffee and snack at the museum’s café before you start. It’ll give you a break, and you won't feel rushed wandering around. Plus, it’s a nice spot to relax

I suggest visiting in the morning around 9 AM when it's quieter. I went later and it was packed, making it hard to fully enjoy the beautiful details inside.

Bring a water bottle! There's not much around to grab a drink, and I found myself quite thirsty. Also, plan your visit before noon; it gets a bit crowded after that.
