This stairway was built in 1531 by Petar Kružić, a Croatian military leader, and was originally intended as a pilgrimage route leading to the Church of Our Lady of Trsat. The staircase consists of 561 stone steps and ascends to the Trsat Hill, which rises 138 meters above sea level. At the base of the stairs is a baroque-style arched entrance, built in the early 18th century, reminiscent of a small triumphal arch. Along the stairway, visitors will find several chapels constructed between the 15th and 18th centuries, enriching the spiritual journey for pilgrims. As you climb, you can also enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, making the ascent both a physical and contemplative experience.

We hadn't researched the route beforehand and where we were going, so we weren't prepared for over 500 steps, especially in the summer :D. But it was definitely intriguing to wonder how much more there was and how far we would go. Despite everything, it was a great workout that revealed incredible views. About the castle, I wouldn't say it was impressive, I wasn't even charmed, but there is a very nice establishment that is perfect for coffee and/or a beer after the long climb.

538 stairs. Or 538.5 stairs. Depends on how you count. Definitely a great area to load up your Fitbit. The fountain at the top saves lives, though it has a distinct metallic taste. Would recommend these stairs for anyone who is afraid of cars, buses, helicopters, horses, pedicabs, or being shot out of a cannon.

This pretty challenging series of steps leads from the bridge over the Rječina river at Školjić (ul.) - downtown - all the way up to the church Our Lady of Trsat (Majka Božja Trsatska). There are nice views up to Trsat Castle, and down over Rijeka centre along the way. A must-do in any Rijeka visit.

Long, nice stairs to Tsart Castle. It's quite a long walk, but the view is amazing. Also there are a lot of lovely houses, gardens. The stairs are super old, but comfortable for walking. Good way to cut the road and go from city center to the top within 30 min. The stairs are not crowded.

This is the fastest way to get on Trsat from city centre. Recommended to park your car on main parking at Delta - it is only two minutes walk to the beginning of Stairway. Nice views all around when hiking over those 500 (and something) stairs. Highly recommended for almost everyone.
