Question 2

Is Rijeka walkable?

Accepted Answer

Rijeka’s centre along the Korzo and the harbour is compact and flat, so you can see the main squares, market, and theatre on foot. Trsat Castle sits above town and the climb is steep.

Autotrolej buses help with hills and longer stretches: take lines 2 or 8 to Trsat, lines 1 or 1A along the coast, and line 32 for an easy day trip to Opatija.

For fewer stairs and a smoother day, or to combine nearby towns, consider a private tour in Rijeka with private transportation.
