Quick answers
What can I do on Krk on a rainy day?
Combine the small sights: Košljun's monastery and museums (Mon–Sat 09:30–17:00 from April to October, 2026), Frankopan Castle and the cathedral treasury in Krk Town, and Biserujka cave, which stays at about 13–15 °C (closed November to March). Sunday is the hard day: the castle is closed and Košljun opens only 10:30–12:30.
Where can I see Glagolitic heritage on Krk?
Start at St Lucy's church in Jurandvor, where the Baška tablet of about 1100, the first text to name Croatia and its king in Croatian, was found; a copy is shown there. Then follow the 34 stone letters through the Baška valley, and in Vrbnik visit the Vitezić library, which holds a 1562 New Testament printed in Glagolitic.
What is there to see in Krk Town's old town?
On Kamplin Square, Frankopan Castle, with a 1191 inscription and a wall walk with harbour views, stands next to the cathedral, built on a 5th-century basilica, whose treasury holds the gilded silver Frankopan altarpiece of 1477. Around them, the old town is a maze of lanes inside Roman and medieval walls: go early or late in the day, as it is crowded at midday in July and August.
How do I visit the Košljun monastery?
By taxi boat from Punat harbour, about 8–10 minutes each way, to Košljun, a wooded islet with a Franciscan friary from 1447, four collections and a church with a 1535 polyptych. Allow 1.5–2 hours; entry is EUR 6 for adults and EUR 4 for children, cash only (2026). Swimming is not allowed on the island.
Is there a cave you can visit on Krk?
Biserujka near Rudine is a small show cave with about 110 m of passages and stalactites, visited on guided tours of 15–20 minutes. Entry is EUR 7 for adults and EUR 5 for children aged 3–12 (2026). It is closed from November to March and stays cool all year: bring a light jumper.
Where can I see Roman remains on Krk?
At Fulfinum-Mirine on the shore below Omišalj: the forum, baths and a sarcophagus of the Roman town and a 5th-century basilica, with free entry and, since May 2026, VR headsets and games for children. In Krk Town, Volsonis is built into Roman remains under the main square.
