Rijeka

Croatia’s Gateway to Culture and the Sea

Rijeka, Croatia’s third-largest city and a bustling port, is a vibrant hub where history, culture, and modernity collide. Nestled along the Kvarner Bay, this dynamic destination offers visitors a unique blend of maritime heritage, architectural splendor, and lively cultural scenes.

The heart of Rijeka is its charming Korzo, a pedestrian-friendly promenade lined with elegant Austro-Hungarian buildings, shops, and cafés. Just a short walk away is Trsat Castle, perched on a hill and offering spectacular views of the city and the Adriatic Sea. This medieval fortress is not only a historic landmark but also a cultural venue hosting concerts and events.

Rijeka’s City Market, a lively hub dating back to the late 19th century, invites you to explore local flavors, from fresh seafood to regional produce. Art and history enthusiasts will appreciate the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral, which showcase the city’s rich past and creative spirit.

Named the European Capital of Culture in 2020, Rijeka continues to shine as a center of artistic and cultural innovation. Its annual Carnival, one of the largest in Europe, transforms the city into a colorful spectacle of parades, music, and revelry.
