Trsat Castle: A Historic Fortress Overlooking Rijeka

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, take the D403 road towards Rijeka. Follow the signs for Rijeka and then merge onto the A7 highway. Take the exit for Rijeka and continue on local roads to reach the city center. Once in Rijeka, follow the signs for Trsat Castle, which is located at Partizanski put 9a. There is limited parking available near the castle, so plan to arrive early during peak tourist seasons to secure a spot.

• Public Transportation - Bus

  To reach Trsat Castle by public transportation, take a bus from the Rijeka Bus Station. Bus lines 2, 4, or 6 will take you to the Trsat area. Look for the stop named 'Trsat' or 'Trsat Castle.' The fare is approximately 10 HRK (Croatian Kuna) for a one-way ticket. Once you get off the bus, it's a short uphill walk to the castle entrance. Be sure to check the bus schedules ahead of time, as they may vary.

• Walking

  If you're already in the Rijeka city center, you can walk to Trsat Castle. Start at the Korzo, Rijeka's main promenade, and head towards the Ulica Stara vrata street. Follow this street uphill, which will lead you directly to the castle. The walk will take approximately 30 minutes, and you'll encounter beautiful views of the city along the way. Wear comfortable shoes, as the path can be steep in some areas.

• Taxi

  For a more convenient option, consider taking a taxi to Trsat Castle. You can find taxis in the city center or use a ride-hailing app. The fare from the city center to the castle is usually around 50-70 HRK, depending on traffic. This option is great if you're traveling in a group or prefer not to walk uphill.
