RIJEKA -A CITY TO REMEMBER

to the Mount Učka across to the Goran mountains as far as the Velebit.

To the west of Rijeka, lies the Opatija Riviera, the oldest and most popular Croatian tourist region. To the east is the Crikvenica-Vinodol Riviera. Rijeka can thank Gorski kotar - the most preserved part of the region - for its
high quality drinking water and its clear air.

Rijeka, is within reach. Rijeka, with its good sea connections, regular line to
the islands by catamaran, bus and railway stations, as well as the airport on the island of

There is a long tradition of city events in Rijeka, which generally take place in the open public spaces owing to
the favourable weather. The best example is the Rijeka Carnival, which during
its 24 years has grown into an international manifestation pronounced by the media from abroad as
a unique manifestation, not to be missed. The 24th International Carnival held in 2007, brought
together about 8,000 participants in the carnival parade and about 100,000 visitors.
According to the estimates of tourist journalists, the Rijeka Carnival is the third biggest carnival in the world
after Rio de Janeiro and Venice.

the Trieste regatta Barcolana, gathers ever more participants each year.
