About Rijeka

The port city of Rijeka lies at the heart of the Kvarner region of Croatia, between the sheltered Kvarner Gulf and the mountains of Gorski Kotar. Rent a car in Rijeka and stay at the tranquil seaside resort of Opatija, where you'll find several opulent late-19th-century hotels once frequented by Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. From Opatija, ramble the beautiful 11km Lungomare (coastal footpath) to Lovran, home to stylish Secessionist villas set in lovely gardens. You can also take a ferry or a catamaran to the islands of Cres, Losinj, Rab or Pag, where the biggest attractions are Mali Losinj and the medieval-walled Rab Town.
