Rijeka: LIVE Webcam - beach Swimming pools Kantrida
Few places in Croatia’s Kvarner region have a history as closely tied to Adriatic shipping as Rijeka. On the northern shore of Kvarner Bay, the city developed around a deep-water harbour that connected Central Europe with maritime trade routes. The Port of Rijeka remains Croatia’s principal seaport, while the city’s waterfront combines working quays, promenades and former industrial structures. Rijeka was European Capital of Culture in 2020, recognising its multilingual, borderland character and long tradition of commerce. West of the centre, the coast gives way to pebble beaches, wooded slopes and the open waters of the bay.

Rijeka has served as a port city on Kvarner Bay in the Croatian Littoral since the Middle Ages. Set where the Rječina reaches the Adriatic, Croatia’s principal seaport developed under Habsburg rule and was declared a free port in 1719. The broad Korzo promenade remains the civic centre, while the 19th-century Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc recalls the city’s Austro-Hungarian era. Above the centre, Trsat Castle occupies a long-established hilltop site, beside the important Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trsat. Rijeka was European Capital of Culture in 2020, reflecting its Croatian, Italian, Hungarian and wider Adriatic influences.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
