Krk town

Krk town: the island’s historic centre and holiday paradise

Krk town, the vibrant heart and also the largest settlement on the island of the same name, is a place where history meets a modern holiday atmosphere. Even as you arrive over the impressive Krk Bridge that links the island with the Croatian mainland, anticipation builds for a destination that combines cultural richness with breathtaking natural beauty.

Whether you want to stroll through picturesque narrow lanes, relax on sun-drenched shores or soak up the lively Mediterranean atmosphere – Krk town has the right experience for every taste.

The historic old town: a journey through the ages

The history of Krk town goes back to Roman times, and its impressive architecture bears silent witness to past cultures. The historic centre is enclosed by remarkably well-preserved town walls, among the most important in all of Croatia.

Strolling through the cobbled lanes, there’s plenty to discover:

  • The Frankopan Castle: This fortress right by the sea on Kamplin Square was built by the famous Croatian noble family of the Frankopans. In summer the historic walls often serve as a spectacular backdrop for open-air concerts and cultural events.
  • The Cathedral of St Mary: An architectural masterpiece with Romanesque roots and an important town landmark.
  • Kamplin Square: A place steeped in history, surrounded by impressive architecture and inviting you to linger.

Dream beaches and crystal-clear water

Around Krk town you’ll find some of the island’s most beautiful beaches, awarded the “Blue Flag” for outstanding water quality and cleanliness. Beaches such as Ježevac, Porporela or Dražica offer fine pebbles, concrete sunbathing areas and shady pine forests – ideal for families, swimmers and snorkellers.

Activities: from water sports to unforgettable nature experiences

Active holidaymakers will be in their element in and around Krk town. The coast invites you to windsurf, snorkel and dive in the varied underwater world. On land, numerous cycling and hiking trails lead through green landscapes and olive groves to hidden bays.

An absolute highlight for individualists is a private boat trip with an experienced skipper. Such tailor-made tours take you off the usual tourist trails to breathtaking natural spots, secluded beaches and fascinating little caves around the island, often unreachable from land.
