When to visit Rijeka?

Rijeka has a moderately-Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. Here is an overview by season:

Season Temperatures Characteristics
Summer (June-August) 26-32°C Ideal for swimming and city events
Spring (April-May) 15-22°C Pleasant weather, great period for sightseeing and excursions
Autumn (September-October) 16-25°C Warm sea in early September, more favorable prices
Winter (November-March) 5-12°C Quieter period, focus on culture and gastronomy

For the best balance of price, weather, and fewer crowds, we recommend visiting in late spring (May–June) or early autumn (September). At that time, low cost apartments in Rijeka are more available, and the weather is pleasant. During peak season (July–August), we recommend booking early.

One bedroom apartment with air-conditioning, Rijeka - A-23155-a
I am very satisfied with the accommodation. The host is kind and helpful, the apartment is clean, nice, well equipped and comfortable. There is air conditioning, but we didn't need to turn it on, because the temperature was pleasant even without it. The accommodation is close to the train station and bus stops, and a few minutes walk away is the Korzo, the heart of Rijeka. The best rated restaurants in Rijeka are also within walking distance.

One bedroom apartment with terrace, Rijeka - A-18146-a
The apartment is centrally located and very easy to reach. The private parking space right outside the door is invaluable. The apartment is very clean and spacious, with a separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with all necessary utensils, and a bathroom with a washing machine and hairdryer. The air conditioning works perfectly and is whisper-quiet. To our surprise, bed linens and towels were also provided. All windows have mosquito nets. A table and four chairs are provided outside the door and were much appreciated for relaxing in the evenings. The TV offers channels in almost every language. A huge thank you to Kristina, who gave us a warm welcome and provided us with excellent advice throughout our stay, including shopping, sightseeing, and the best beaches. Check-in and check-out were completely straightforward. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back.
