Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:

Jadranski trg, 51000, Rijeka, Croatia

Meeting point: Between two fountains at Jadranski trg (Adriatic Square). I will stay between them, so that you could find me easily. The square is conveniently located in the city center, so it's easy to reach the meeting point by city buses, by foot or by taxi. Intercity bus station "Žabica" is only 150 m (500 ft) away. Traffic in Rijeka's centre has been bad recently due to many roadworks, so it's recommended to start your drive towards the centre at least 15 minutes earlier than you've planned.
