HOW TO GET THERE?
Malinska is in the northwestern part of the island Krk, faces Kvarner Bay and Rijeka, Croatia’s largest port city. With its relatively low and accessible coast, the western part of the city offers spectacular views of Istria and Učka mountain. Malinska can be accessed by car or bus or plane.
By CAR
The Krk Bridge, built in 1980, connected Krk with the mainland making it an easily accessible destination. This led to a boom in tourism for the entire island, including Malinska. Traffic can be heavy on weekends, particularly on Sunday afternoons when weekend tourists from Rijeka, Zagreb and Slovenia are returning home. While planning your trip, check the information on traffic conditions provided on the website of the Croatian Auto Club (HAK).
By BUS
Malinska has excellent bus connections with Rijeka, whose bus terminal is also a hub for other routes leading to the rest of Croatia, as well as to neighbouring countries: Italy, Slovenia, Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the summer months, a direct bus route to Zagreb (without a stopover at Rijeka) is available. Malinska is also well connected by bus with other towns on the island of Krk.
By PLANE
Rijeka Airport is only 18 kilometres from Malinska, connecting it with destinations in Croatia and abroad, including as many as 20 European cities. The average duration of a direct flight from Rijeka Airport to any European destination is about 2 hours.
Rijeka Airport is just a 15-minute drive from Malinska.
VENUE
The interesting and diverse surroundings of Malinska reveal many interesting natural attractions and historical localities that date back to Antiquity. The island of Krk has a mysterious connection with the number seven:
- Croats first settled the island in the seventh century, it was successfully defended from pirate attacks seven times, the seventh Frankopan was the last duke of Krk, and Krk today consists of seven administrative units: the town of Krk and the municipalities of Omišalj, Malinska, Punat, Baška, Vrbnik and Dobrinj.
- Within these seven centres, seven variants of the Chakavian dialect of the Croatian language are spoken, and every centre on the island has its natural, historical and cultural attractions, together forming this magnificent golden island.
In addition to offering a variety of amenities, the destination of Malinska is also the perfect starting point for trips around the Kvarner area and beyond. Once you reach Malinska you can choose a lot of daily trips organized by local travel agencies:
- Boat trips (panorama tour under Krk Bridge; boat trip to Beli on the Island of Cres, or a boat trip to Opatija
- Excursions by bus (Vrbnik for wine lovers; excursion to the town of Krk, Baška, Omišalj, or visit one of the most beautiful national parks as confirmed by UNESCO when it was entered onto their world heritage list – PLITVICE LAKES, only 125 km or 2hours drive).
