Rijeka << Back
Whichever part of the world you come from, you have arrived at the heart of Europe. Rijeka, the visitor-friendly city filled with the scent of the sea, awaits you.
Wake up to the magnificent view of Kvarner Bay. Enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate. Take a stroll along Korzo and experience the heart of the city loved by both younger and older generations. Lounge in one of the cafes and read the history of the town from the facades of buildings.
The town of an uncommon, rather entangled past, past which could be compared with the olive tree, evelasting, bended, fruit bitter to taste but of good quality.
Long time ago Celtic tribe lived here, therefore name Trsat may come from Celtic word "tarsa", meaning hill above the river. Settlements of Illyrian tribe "Liburni" sailors, pirats and shipbuilders. In the ancient time town's name is Tarsattica, Roman municipality (the fortress); traces of that period almost disappeared.
