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!

RIJEKA - Croatia Travel Guide | Around The World
Rijeka is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 128,624 inhabitants (2011). The metropolitan area, which includes adjacent towns and municipalities, has a population of more than 240,000.
Historically, because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially among Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. According to the 2011 census data, the overwhelming majority of its citizens (82.52%) are Croats, along with small numbers of Bosniaks, Italians and Serbs.
Rijeka is the main city of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. The city's economy largely depends on shipbuilding (shipyards 3. Maj and Viktor Lenac Shipyard) and maritime transport. Rijeka hosts the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc, first built in 1765, as well as the University of Rijeka, founded in 1973 but with roots dating back to 1632 School of Theology.
Linguistically, apart from Croatian, the population also uses its own unique dialect of the Venetian language, Fiumano, with an estimated 20,000 speakers among the autochthonous Croats and various minorities. Historically Fiumano served as a lingua franca for the many ethnicities inhabiting the multiethnic port-town. In 2016, Rijeka was selected as the European Capital of Culture for 2020, alongside Galway, Republic of Ireland.
Tvornica Torpedo (the Torpedo factory). The first European prototypes of a self-propelled torpedo, created by Giovanni Luppis, a retired naval engineer from Rijeka. The remains of this factory still exist, including a well-preserved launch ramp used for testing self-propelled torpedoes on which in 1866 the first torpedo was tested.
The Croatian National Theatre building. Officially opened in October 1885, the grand theatre building includes work by the famous Venetian sculptor August Benvenuti and ceiling artist Franz Matsch, who collaborated with Ernst and Gustav Klimt.
Svetište Majke Božje Trsatske – the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat. Built 135 m (443 ft) above sea level on the Trsat hill during the late Middle Ages, it represents the Guardian of Travellers, especially seamen, who bring offerings to her so she will guard them or help them in time of trouble or illness. It is home to the Gothic sculpture of the Madonna of Slunj and to works by the Baroque painter C. Tasce.
Trsat Castle, a 13th-century fortress, which offers magnificent vistas from its bastions and ramparts, looking down the Rječina river valley to the docks and the Kvarner Gulf.
Petar Kružić staircase (or Trsat stairway), which links downtown Rijeka to Trsat. The stairway consists of 561 stone steps and was built for the pilgrims as the way to reach the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat.
Old gate or Roman arch. At first it was thought that this was a Roman Triumphal Arch built by the Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus but later it was discovered to be just a portal to the pretorium, the army command in late antiquity.
Rijeka Cathedral, dedicated to St. Vitus.
Palace Modello designed by Buro Fellner & Helmer and built in 1885.
Stadion Kantrida, regarded by many as one of the most iconic and beautiful football stadiums in the world.

Pedalling along the coast from the west side to the city centre. Filmed in September 2011. There will be additional videos from the MTB Street view series in the city of Rijeka. But before that you can expect to see Volosko, Opatija and Rovinj (if I can edit out all the swingers and nudists ;).
