As the Kvarner Riviera's biggest city, Rijeka has a vibrant nightlife and is a hub of industrial trade and more of a springboard from where to depart to other scenic towns along the coastline. Stroll the Korzo, a pedestrian street lined with restaurants and shops. View the City Tower, built between the 16th and 19th centuries and decorated by four clocks crafted in the 18th century. The Roman Arch, once part of a fortress and possibly connected to the rule of Emperor Claudius II, and the Church of St. Vitus (13th century) both give a look into Rijeka's past. Legend says that the medieval cross found within St. Vitus once lead to a man being consumed by the earth, after he had thrown a rock at the crucifix. Rijeka's history is varied and stems from its ancient role as an Illyrian settlement in the 2nd century BCE, when it was part of the Roman Empire. It went through numerous rulers and kingdoms over the centuries, from the medieval Croatian Kingdom to the Hapsburg Empire, from the Austro-Hungarians to being annexed by Mussolini. Having not been a free city since the 17th century, in 1947 Rijeka was finally part of Croatia in Yugoslavia. Experience 19th century architecture at the Ivan Zajc National Theatre, where you can still enjoy performances. Museums, galleries, fine dining and more make exploring the city an interesting way to spend thet afternoon, or you can hop on a bus to go further down the coast to Bivio to enjoy the beach and seaside strolling.

Rijeka, Croatia, is the country's busiest port, so it may be necessary to pass through the city at least once (road, rail and ferry routes converge there). Most of the big coastal car ferries serving Dubrovnik, Hvar Island, Korcula, Rab Island, Split and Zadar originate in Rijeka, which lies 115 mi/180 km southwest of Zagreb.
If you find yourself in the city for more than a moment, check out the Maritime and Historical Museum, located in the former Governor's Palace, and visit the Church of the Assumption, with its interesting adjoining and leaning bell tower.
Also worth noting is the locally made jewelry called morcic, which is a specialty of the city. The jewelry (earrings, tie pins and broaches) is made in the shape of a small black figure wearing a turban and is said to bring luck to its wearers. http://www.visitrijeka.eu.
