🤑

As a visiting cat, I found Rijeka to be moderately priced. There are options for both budget and luxury shopping, but prices can still be higher compared to other destinations in Croatia.

Check out local markets and shops for affordable souvenirs and goods. Stay away from touristy areas for food and drinks.
