Whether you like your wildlife in the forest or the bar, Rab has something to offer. Kvarner’s greenest island also features one of its busiest resorts in Rab town, a charming old settlement on a gently sloping hill by the sea. The Romans were so smitten with Rab town Emperor Octavian Augustus gave it municipal status in the 1st century BC. The main square is still called Trg Municipium, but the town’s well known skyline of four bell towers came after the Romans, in medieval times, and many of its architectural treasures were shaped by that era.
The island has two faces. The south-west corner is lush and green; the north-western end barren and rocky. The whole island, the busiest of the Kvarner string, offers any number of jaw-dropping views. Visitors head through the pine woods for the remote sandy beaches on Lopar, a peninsula on northern Rab, while the party crowd heads south for the bars and bustle of Rab town. Other attractions on the island include the stunning beaches in Kampor and Pudarica, and sprawling parklands with extensive pine and oak forests in Kalifront and Dundovo.
