The pedestrian promenade that runs through the old town of Rijeka, Croatia (Fiume in Italian) is lined with cafes, shops, bars and beautiful buildings. It is full of life in every season and is the main gathering place for shopping, dining, and festivals. Follow us through the bustling city market, which is open 7 days a week selling fruits, vegetables, bread, flowers, eggs, apparel, and accessories in booths spanning several blocks. The mint green colored buildings which run through the market sell various meats, delicious cheeses, and fresh fish. Catch a glimpse of the historic yellow building which houses one of four Italian language elementary schools in Rijeka (Scuola Elementare Dolac) and the Italian language high school (Liceo Classico).
Walk through the Roman ruins from the ancient settlement of Tarsatica, on which Rijeka was built in Medieval times, including a Roman gate (arch). Standing tall in the center of the Korzo is the charming clock tower, which marks the spot of an old Roman gate entrance to Tarsatica and now serves as a landmark and passageway to a square with a fountain and my favorite pizza restaurant in all of Croatia, Pizzeria Maslina. Rijeka is host to countless entertaining cultural events throughout the year, and our tour captured the exciting Fiumanka Regatta in the Kvarner Bay. This sailing competition takes place over several days and is complemented by outdoor concerts and a festival featuring traditional Croatian foods and wares. The long Rijeka seawall is the perfect place to enjoy the regatta, an evening stroll and a view of Istria.
Taking a dip in the clear blue waters of the Adriatic sea at the Sablićevo beach is a great way to cool off. Only a short 2.5 km walk from the center of town, this pebble beach is peaceful and clean.
We complete our Rijeka city tour with a walk up the 561 steps to the quaint Trsat Castle, which is a 13th-century hilltop fortress that provides magnificent views of both the Rječina river and the sea.
We hope you enjoy our 4K tour of Rijeka!
