Cultural visits

Rijeka & Kvarner region

Croatia’s third largest city, Rijeka, lies by the sea on the northern part of the beautiful Adriatic. Rijeka is ideally located between the blue Adriatic and the green mountains in the hinterland.

The city is known for its neoclassical architecture built mostly in the times of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, as well as for its port, the biggest one in Croatia and one of the three largest ports in the Adriatic.

Its buildings, monuments, and culture reflect its history when it was under the influence of numerous countries and former Italian and Austrian rulers. Once the main industrial city, and today the cultural center that has in 2020 received the status of European Capital of Culture, like other famous cities such as Paris, Athens, Madrid, and Dublin.

The whole district is famous for its popular festivals and events (Rijeka Carnival, Opatija Festival of chocolate, etc.) and the local gastronomy, with many original recipes.
