Tucked away in the heart of the Barri Vell, the Escales de Sant Martí (St. Martin’s Steps) form one of Girona’s most iconic and photographed scenes, also featured on Game of Thrones. This timeless corner blends medieval romance with Baroque grandeur, framed by the 17th-century façade of the former Convent of Sant Martí and the striking Casa-Palau Agullana. The palace’s skewed arch stretches over the steps, creating a covered passage that feels both intimate and theatrical — a favourite backdrop for artists and Instagrammers. Even though often busy with visitors, the spot retains a quiet magic, especially early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Sit on the steps with a coffee, and watch as the city’s history unfolds in every shadow and angle.

After passing under the round City Tower, the former main medieval town entrance that gave access to the coast, you'll enter the centre of Rijeka's Old Town. Located in the modern-day Ivan Kobler Square, there was once a more compact municipal centre called Placa, which served the significantly smaller fortified medieval town.

Cleland Wildlife Park has been a popular tourist attraction since 1967, and it is a Conservation Park where you can interact with Australian wildlife. Here, you can cuddle with a koala bear or hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies while also seeing the famous waterfall Gully-Mount.
