Omišalj
A medieval stone town on high ground at the northern tip of the island, overlooking the bay, with the Roman site of Fulfinum nearby.
Omišalj sits on a headland about 80 metres above sea level, near the Krk Bridge. It is one of the oldest settlements on the island. The old town has a 13th-century Church of the Assumption, Glagolitic inscriptions and a small square, and a lookout point offers views over the bay toward Rijeka. At the foot of the hill, the Mirine–Fulfinum archaeological site preserves remains of a Roman town square and early Christian churches. It is very close to Rijeka Airport, about a 25-minute drive from Krk Town. The old town is free.
