Rijeka is the third largest city and the main port in Croatia. Located on the Adriatic coast, Rijeka is the Rotterdam of former Yugoslavia and feeds a continuous flow of bulk goods through to the hinterland of Croatia, Austria and Hungary. Admire numerous galleries and museums before finishing your day with fresh Croatian brodet stew and paticada.
Places to visit in Rijeka
Strolling along the Riva - the city’s wide boulevard - you’ll pass lots of little side streets that lead into the impressive city centre, where you'll happen upon a diversity of historical buildings, old squares, palaces, museums and shops. Take a seat at a terrace in the sunshine and sample a glass of home-produced Rakija (brandy). Similar to cognac, this beverage is made by the Croats themselves by distilling fermented fruit. Complement it with a delicious slice of salami with paprika, called Kulen in Croatian, and you’ll be near-native in no time!
