Why it is worth your time
High on Sveti Križ hill, Rijeka keeps its window to the universe: an observatory and planetarium in one place. Lean back under the dome as projected constellations wheel overhead, then step outside to a wide view over the city and the Kvarner Bay. On clear evenings the telescope turns the real night sky into the main show.
Croatia Atlas tip
Come for an evening programme: afterwards the lights of Rijeka and the Kvarner glitter at your feet.
