About Rijeka

Rijeka is Croatia's main port city, a gritty, creative place on the Kvarner Gulf that served as European Capital of Culture in 2020. The pedestrian Korzo, framed by Habsburg-era facades and the baroque City Tower, runs just behind the waterfront, and the busy central market sits by the harbour.

Above the city, Trsat Castle and the pilgrimage shrine of Our Lady of Trsat look over the Rjecina gorge, reached by the 561-step Petar Kruzic Stairway. The elegant seaside resort of Opatija is a short trip along the coast.

Climate
November in Rijeka is cool, grey and the wettest time of year: daytime highs fall from about 15°C to 11°C and lows from 8°C to 4°C, skies are overcast or mostly cloudy more than half the time, and roughly one day in three is wet, with about 94–107 mm of rain on a rolling monthly basis.
