RIJEKA city- alternative, peaceable, city of rock music
Rijeka is the main seaport and the third largest city in Croatia, located on Kvarner Bay, with a population of 128,624 inhabitants. It is a city with rich culture, an unusual, turbulent past and a beautiful, diverse and rich architecture. It’s a peaceable town, a bit alternative, turned to young people and a rock music. Reflected in Korzo, main promenade, where 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 it, would agree. Korzo is the place where people gather and move apart, where they hang out, do business, make acquaintances, but also go shopping. Every season in Rijeka provides a particular kind of entertainment. Sports, music, drama, gastro events… something for everyone. One of the main recognizability of this city is Rijeka’s International Carnival- the third greatest carnival in the world. The Rijeka Carnival has been added to the list of the 500 most important events in Europe – Top 500 European Events, and the Sunday Times declared it one of the most exotic world events, included in the book “501 must be there events”.
