Croatia Rijeka Travel Tourism Guide - Rijeka, the third largest city in the Republic of Croatia, is situated on Kvarner Bay on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. This natural harbor is located at the furthest point that the Adriatic penetrates the European continent. It's safe anchorage and proximity to many of Eastern Europe's largest cities makes Rijeka one of the busiest seaports in the world. More than eighty countries trade here.

The Adriatic is a body of water stretching north from the Mediterranean sea, separating Italy from the Balkan States. This connection makes Croatia a Mediterranean country and Rijeka a natural stop on any Mediterranean tour.

Although it was settled as far back as the fifteenth century, this seaport town did not really start to grow until the roads connecting it to the capital city Zagreb began appearing in the early 1700's. Now Rijeka has a population of more than one hundred thousand, not counting the thousands of tourists who visit each year.
The ancient inhabitants of the area were made up of a mixture of Celtic hill people and sea faring folk called the Liburni. This double nature exists today, as Rijeka celebrates it's heritage from both the land and the sea.

After World War I, control of this important seaport was hotly disputed, with Italy leading the pack. It's proximity to Italy made it a desirable shipping partner. The negotiations dragged on for some time until the Italians, impatient for a resolution, took matters into their own hands and seized the city. Control shifted around for some time. At one point, Rijeka even becoming an independent state.
