Rijeka railway station is the main railway station in Rijeka, Croatia, and it sits in the city center, close to the Korzo and the ferry port. International trains arrive here from Zagreb, Ljubljana, Vienna, and Munich, which makes the station a practical arrival point for travelers coming from several European cities. Because it lies in the middle of town, most of Rijeka's sights, restaurants, and the waterfront are within walking distance once you step off the train. People visiting Rijeka use the station not only to arrive but to explore the city's everyday urban character. The wide pedestrian street Korzo is the main gathering place, while Trsat Castle above the city offers views over the bay and the islands of Krk and Cres. Rijeka is also known for its carnival, one of the largest in Croatia, and for the beaches and hiking trails along the nearby coast and in the hinterland. The station area works well as a base for the wider Kvarner region, including Opatija, the islands, and the mountains of Gorski Kotar.
