What travelers say about Rijeka

It was windy and rainy on the day we went to Terce Castle. It was really cold on the mountain. The castle was rather run-down and there were not many tourists. You can see the whole city from the mountain. If it is not on your way, I would not recommend it. After a round trip, we set off for Zadar.
