A beautiful city located in the Northern Adriatic Sea, in the Kvarner Bay. Rijeka is definitely known as a port city, but it's so much more than just that! We were very pleasantly surprised by Rijeka when we went exploring. The city is rich with history, beauty, nature and even has a stunning castle with the most breathtaking view of the city, the river, the bay, and beyond! Our first stop was at the famous city market. It was so much bigger than I imagined it would be. It has sections for fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, canned items, dairy items, and even a beautiful flower market! Next we noticed the National Theatre, which is identical to the one in Zagreb (because it had the same architect). Rijeka's National Theatre is 10 years older than the one in Zagreb, but they're both absolutely beautiful and full of detail. We then wandered through Korzo, which is the main street in Rijeka. It's where the locals gather, have coffee, people watch, meet with friends, etc. It's kind of like the heart of Rijeka. Along Korzo, you'll also find the famous clock tower, which has really become a symbol of the city. The clock face and the coat of arms are original from centuries ago. One surprising thing we stumbled upon was the old Roman settlement of Tarsatica, which dates back to around 5 A.D. It's incredible that they have these ruins right in the center of the city! We also stopped at Sv. Vitus Cathedral in Rijeka. It's very unique because of it's round floor plan / shape. The cathedral took over 100 years to build, and it's a stunning baroque structure. Trsat Castle was the next destination in Rijeka that we went to go find. You can drive up to the castle, or you can take the Petar Kruzic Stairway (some refer to it as the stairway to heaven), which has 538 steps to the top. Once you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with the most picturesque views of the city, the river, the bay, the sea, and everything in between! It's truly spectacular. We stopped for a beer at the castle (there's a cocktail bar at the top), and had the best table in the whole place, with the most scenic view we could have asked for! Our last stop in Rijeka was the Peek and Poke Museum. This was a very fascinating place, with old computers, gaming consoles, any kind of old piece of "technology" from 1960 onwards. Our guide Josip walked us through the whole museum and did a great job telling the true stories of all of the "old" technology. We were very pleasantly surprised with Rijeka as a city to explore as a tourist. There was so much more to do than we ever thought, and it's a very beautiful, historical city that should be on everyone's list! |
