Rijeka is the administrative and cultural centre of the Primorje-Gorski kotar County and the third largest city in Croatia with regard to the number of inhabitants.
The city is situated along the course of Rječina River and nearby numerous streams. It lies on abundant sources and confluences. Like numerous cities in the world, Rijeka carries the symbol of water in its name.
Rijeka is a bustling blend of gritty 20th-century port and Italianate Habsburg grandeur.
Most people speed through en route to the islands or Dalmatia, but those who pause will discover charm, culture, good nightlife, intriguing festivals and Croatia’s most colourful carnival.
Rijeka is reflected in Korzo, at Korzo you can read Rijeka. Anyone who, at least once, had a coffee at one of the terraces of numerous and picturesque café bars lined along this unusual promenade, would agree Rijeka’s citizens are loyal to Korzo in both their winter coats and fluttering summer dresses.
They equally visit it under umbrellas and when blown by the bora, a wind that is, just like Korzo, a specific feature of this town.
