No matter which road leads you to Rijeka, you can be sure you’ll arrive in the heart of Europe. Rijeka is at the centre of the region, the county that magically brings together two opposites, the sea and the mountains that stretch from Ucka all the way to Velebit. The inhabitants here can boast a lovely Mediterranean climate, stunning views over the Kvarner Bay, as well as the main promenade Korzo, which is the heart of the town.
Here you’ll always find it bustling with life no matter if it is day or night. This city is also very popular for its famous international carnival, one of the five largest in the world. Should you head west you’ll be heading towards the Opatija Riviera, the oldest and most elite Croatian tourist destination. Head east and you will end up at the Crikvenica Riviera, which of course is just as attractive.
