info

Due to the mountainous landscape, we recommend choosing accommodations in coastal towns: Rijeka, Matulji, Opatija, Ičići, Lovran, Medveja, Donji Kraj or Mošćenice. If you opt for accommodations closer to the national park, roads can be quite winding. Larger buses may find the journey more challenging.
