    Named the European Capital of Culture for 2020, Rijeka is Croatia’s third largest city and principal seaport.

    Situated in the northern Adriatic Sea, it boasts a blend of remarkable coastline, quaint architecture, and intriguing historical sites.

    Rijeka is ideally located with convenient access to Croatia’s islands and inland attractions.

    The Rječina River is lined with an extensive promenade along which one can marvel at Habsburg-era buildings with charming architecture, significant religious establishments, and historical structures.

    The 13th century hilltop Trsat Castle is the perfect spot from which to catch the best views over Rijeka and the Kvarner Gulf.

    The city is also home to a remarkable number of music and cultural festivals from jazz live performances to literary festivals, indoor and outdoor art exhibitions, rock and classical music concerts, and an opera and theatre programme at the city’s Italian-style Croatian National Theatre.

    Enjoy dining along cobblestone street cafes, sink your toes into Mediterranean beach sands, soak in the history and cultural flair, and marvel at picturesque views.

    Rijeka offers a picture perfect Mediterranean short city break.
