Rijeka
The commercial capital of the idyllic Adriatic coast close to
Zagreb is the cultural city and holiday destination of Rijeka,
which has an international harbour that lends it a cosmopolitan
flair. Rijeka is not only the gateway to the beautiful coastal
island resorts, but a tourist's delight in itself with its charming
historic buildings. A stroll along the Korzo Promenade in the old
part of town provides an eyeful of classic buildings and a variety
of street cafes ideal for resting your feet and enjoying the
passing parade. Rijeka also has an annual carnival full of lively
music and dancing, involving plenty of ancient Slavic folklore and
mythology. Revellers don masks to scare away evil forces and a good
time is had by all in numerous events, concerts and the carnival
parade.
