Adriatic Cruise 7 (Kiet Le)

Rijeka, Croatia
Rijeka is a port city on Kvarner Bay. It is the third-largest city in Croatia and a gateway to Croatia’s islands.
We visited the hilltop Trsat Castle, a lookout point in ancient times. It has the sweeping views of the islands of Kvarner Bay.
The Main street Korzo is Rijeka’s busy promenade, full of shops and cafes. The buildings along the street have grand neoclassical designs.
