LEGENDS OF TRSAT - Castle Views & Pilgrimage Wonders in Rijeka

Perched high above Rijeka, the hilltop of Trsat has guarded the city for centuries. On this intimate walking tour, your local guide will lead you through a tapestry of history, faith, and legend that makes this place one of Croatia’s most cherished treasures.
 
We begin at Trsat Castle, a medieval fortress whose ramparts have witnessed knights, sieges, and noble families. From here, enjoy panoramic views stretching from the city’s rooftops to the deep blue Kvarner Bay and the islands beyond.
 
Next, we walk to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat, one of the oldest pilgrimage sites in Croatia. Discover the story of the Holy House of Nazareth, which, according to tradition, miraculously appeared here in the 13th century before being transported to Loreto, Italy. You’ll hear of centuries-old processions, miraculous healings, and the deep devotion that still draws pilgrims today.
 
Along the way, your guide will share local tales and legends – from whispered medieval romances to the mysterious "fairy steps” said to protect travelers.
 
This 90-minute journey is more than a tour – it’s a walk through time, faith, and folklore, crowned with spectacular views and stories you’ll remember long after you’ve left.
