Don’t miss the chance to ride the funicular up to Trsat Castle, where panoramic views stretch across the bay and the fragrance of pine trees fills the air. Back in town, the cobbled streets lead to hidden courtyards and artisan workshops, perfect for picking up handmade lavender sachets or intricate lacework. If time allows, a short trip to Opatija’s elegant seaside promenade or the secluded pebble coves of Glavanovo Beach offers a serene escape. And as the sun dips low, join locals at a konoba (tavern) for a glass of crisp Malvazija wine and a plate of black risotto, a Rijeka speciality tinged with cuttlefish ink. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** Croatian - **Timezone:** Europe/Zagreb - **Tipping:** 10% at restaurants ## Location Coordinates: 45.3249, 14.4426 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Rijeka/@45.32488,14.44263,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Rijeka&ll=45.32488,14.44263&z=13) ## Things to Do in Rijeka Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~10h port call.
