Rijeka & Opatija

The capital of the Kvarner region with its beautiful buildings from the Austro-Hungarian period. The monuments of this city are diverse just like its inhabitants. Although it is not unique, the Leaning Tower just like the ancient Roman gate in the vicinity of the pedestrian area "Korzo" are alwaysinteresting to visit. We recommend visiting Rijeka’s open market as well as a part of the city – Trsat, - a famous pilgrimage site that also has a fortress which offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city.

In the past, it was a defensive point against the Venetians. Also, the pirates used to control the ‘’Vela Vrata’’ straight from here.

The symbol of this town is the beautiful St. Andrew’s Church, situated in the center.
