Best things to do in Krk

Krk's Absolute Essentials

Krk features a diverse landscape ranging from the medieval fortifications of the Frankopan Castle and the Romanesque architecture of Krk Cathedral to the subterranean formations of Biserujka cave. The island is home to the shallow, mud-rich waters of Soline Bay and the pebbled shores of Baška and Oprna. For those interested in modern history, the ruins of the Haludovo Palace Hotel offer a glimpse into the island's mid-20th-century tourism boom.
