About Trsatska gradina
Trsatska gradina occupies a rise above Rijeka, with views over the city and the Bay of Kvarner. The fortification helps to recognize the relationship between the Rječina river valley, inland routes and the port. The visit combines the castle's structures with observation of the urban landscape.
Towers, walls and a courtyard record different phases of construction. The visit should not be understood as entering a fully furnished palace: the interest lies in the fortification and its position over the city. There is also interpretation about the history of the complex.
It is possible to reach it by city bus or to climb the Trsat stairway. Those who choose to walk should allow time for the climb in addition to the visit. From May to September days are usually long; in July and August the heat makes it useful to start the route before the hottest part of the day.
