   • Trsat Castle. You need only stand at the crest of this steep hill next to the Rjecina Gorge to appreciate that this must have been a useful lookout point in ancient times.
   • Central Market. If you’re new to a city then one of the best ways to get a crash course in its customs is to head for its markets. Rijeka’s Fish Hall is a gorgeous piece of metal and glass art-nouveau architecture.
   • Korzo. This street is also essential if you’d like to get acquainted with daily life in Rijeka. Korzo is a long and broad promenade full of upmarket shops and cafes.
   • City Tower. Half-way along Korzo you’ll come to the baroque City Tower, which is possibly the city’s most emblematic building. The front of the tower is adorned with a stone relief of Rijeka’s double-headed eagle coat of arms, granted to the city by the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I.
