Rijeka is a port city and jumping-off point for many Croatian destinations, but few know that it also offers so much more.
You've now got the perfect opportunity to find out: walk along the "Korzo", the pedestrian avenue par excellence, between historical buildings and colorful bell towers, and immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of the old town and its history, which dates back thousands of years.
The round church you see is Rijeka Cathedral, adorned with fine Baroque decorations: inside is a 13th century crucifix - ask your guide about it, it's said to be miraculous.
Wander around the market and photograph the elegance of the Croatian National Theater: just think, its ceilings were painted in the late 19th century by Ernst and Klimt.
Now get ready for the photo of the day: your subject is the tall medieval tower made of rough stone, but you are not seeing double: it really does lean to one side, and is known as the leaning tower of Rijeka!
After the exploration, you can continue to hunt for souvenirs, discover other hidden corners of Rijeka in total liberty and return to the ship independently. The choice is yours!
