About this experience

Krk is a living stone labyrinth with narrow streets and cobbled pathways. Tucked within the city's defensive walls, the old town tends to get overcrowded during the high season, and a walk on the seafront promenade might prove to be quite the challenge. Experience some of the best highlights of Krk: the 12th-century Frankopan Castle with its panoramic views, the medieval defense walls, the Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption, and many more. Listen to the stories and see the legends of Krk revealed right before your eyes at every turn and corner.
