Rijeka
Croatia’s third-largest city, Rijeka is a bustling blend of gritty 20th-century port and Italianate Habsburg grandeur. Most people speed through en route to the islands or Dalmatia, but those who pause will discover charm, culture, good nightlife, intriguing festivals and Croatia’s most colourful carnival. Rijeka is a vital transport hub. It’s a surprisingly verdant city once you’ve left its concrete core, which contains Croatia’s largest port, with ships, cargo and cranes lining the waterfront.
Gastro
One of the best ways to become acquainted with the culture, history and, most of all, the soul of a place, is to take in the flavours and scents of the local foods and drinks, and Rijeka is a genuine mosaic that curiously blends the sea and the mountains, coupled with a rich historical heritage. All this adds a distinct flavour to the local cuisine, a fusion of Italian, Austrian and Hungarian culinary influences, with a hint of folk ingenuity in times of austerity, and rooted in the nutrient-rich foods of the Kvarner region that infuse the coastal gastronomy with the tasty and healthy Mediterranean diet, which is valued and highly recommended around the globe.
What to see
Rijeka is reflected in Korzo, at Korzo you can read Rijeka. Anyone who, at least once, had a coffee at one of the terraces of numerous and picturesque café bars lined along this unusual promenade, would agree. Anyone who was at least once sitting on one of the benches placed at Korzo, precisely for this purpose, as well as-those who were looking at the most picturesque city’s street from the “top” of some of the most popular meeting places of Rijeka’s citizens, located at the top floors of buildings.
