It offers striking contrasts, from the bare rocks in the east to the lush greenery of the west. A popular destination, Rab offers everything from hidden coves to a<strong> lively town center<\/strong>. There are plenty of activities for you to enjoy, such as cycling, hiking and water sports. The island is known to most tourists for the sandy Paradise Beach in Lopar. Read our short guide to find out more about what you can experience on Rab.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get there<\/h2>\n<p>There are two ferries to the island. The first one runs four times a day from the island of <strong>Krk (Valbiska) to Lopar<\/strong> on the northern part of the island, and the trip takes about 80 minutes. This option offers <strong>beautiful views<\/strong> as you cruise past the islands of Krk, Plavnik, Prvi\u0107, and Sv. Grgur during the crossing. The ferry is operated (like most others in Croatia) by Jadrolinija. A more frequent option is the ferry that runs every 30 to 45 minutes during the season from <strong>Stinica to Mi\u0161njak<\/strong> on the southern tip of the island. This ferry takes about 15 minutes and is operated by Rapska plovidba.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IOnOx8kbaqA?si=FiAZnNufyxFVzb7D&amp;controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What to see<\/h2>\n<p>The island&#8217;s highlight is undoubtedly the <strong>town of Rab<\/strong>, with its old town center, <strong>four bell towers<\/strong> and magnificent cathedral. The town&#8217;s stone streets lead you past the monastery of St Andrew and the town loggia to the large and small squares and Komr\u010dar Park.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of July, the island hosts the medieval festival <strong>Rapska fjera<\/strong>, which showcases what life was like on Rab in the past and attracts thousands of visitors every year. On the last day, there are also knight games.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4436 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\"  href='https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-town-of-Rab-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\"  href='https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villas-guide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/View-from-Kamenjak-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>In summer, you can visit one of <strong>fish food festivals<\/strong> in Kampor and Supetarska Draga, or the <strong>Rab Jazz Festival<\/strong> which begins at the end of August.

We would recommend buying it at Ku\u0107a Rapske Torte in the old town of Rab.<\/p>\n<p>Sports enthusiasts can go cycling from the town of Rab towards Barbat, through the Kalifront nature reserve in the west, or climb the <strong>Kamenjak hill<\/strong> on foot or by bike.
