Welcome to Rijeka, port and town!

The port of Rijeka is the biggest port on the Adriatic and the most important port in Republic of Croatia, and the Rijeka traffic corridor is the most essential direction land - sea in the country.
Historically, the port had been first recorded in the written documents in 13th. century, precisely in 1281; your stay in the port of Rijeka is a continuation of a long and glorious tradition!

The troubled history of the town, which had changed many rulers through centuries, is evident everywhere. Austrian, Hungarian, Italian and Croatian culture have left their recognizable traces both in architecture and ambience as well in people in recognizable Rijeka mentality - a specific combination of Mediterranean temperament and Middle-European moderation.
Rijeka is therefore a real Mediterranean and Middle-European cosmopolitan town, open to influences and differences.
Rijeka today (town zone 150.000) and the region gravitating to it (300.000 inhabitants) offer an interesting cultural and environmental variety.
Rijeka is a peaceful town and you can walk freely along its streets at any time of day or night, exploring everything you are interested in.
If you happen to be in Rijeka during carnival, you will experience one of the biggest European masked spectacles.
The nearest surroundings offer "the old lady" Opatija with its Riviera, which has had experience in hotel industry and health tourism since 1844, with nature varying from gentle islands to wild mountains at only 10 km distance from each other.
Have pleasant and quality time in our town and its surroundings.
