I'm Sanjin, a 34 years old guy, who decided to share his love for his hometown with its visitors. As a licenced local tour guide and an avid traveler, I've used my experience to organize a tour where I'll show you the most interesting places in the city while telling you the stories that shaped it into what it is today. Let's discover Rijeka together!

Tour description

IMPORTANT: YOU CAN COME TO THE TOUR EVEN IF IT SAYS THAT IT'S COMPLETE!

We'll meet up at Jadranski trg (Adriatic square) at the designated time (check the dates!) and, during our walk, you'll see some very interesting and unique places within the city centre, as well as hear stories about how Rijeka used to be the largest port in Austro-Hungarian Empire, and how the city has developed through centuries. 

This tour includes:

  • Adriatic square (Jadranski trg)
  • Venetian house
  • Korzo (the main square with cafés and clock tower)
  • Old Town and ancient Roman post of Tarsatica
  • St Vitus cathedral
  • Leaning tower of Rijeka
  • Old city port's wharf
  • National theatre
  • Central Market (morning tour only, adds 10 minutes) and Turkish house
  • City port



- We'll end our walking tour at a wharf in the port, where many luxurious yachts are anchored nowadays.

- This tour is provided in English only.

All free tours around the world keep running just because of the guests rewarding the guides with tips; if you don't know what amount is appropriate, google to get an idea.

This tour is not "rain or shine"; the tour might be cancelled in case of bad weather.

    Meeting point: Between two fountains at Jadranski trg (Adriatic Square). I will stay between them, so that you could find me easily. The square is conveniently located in the city center, so it's easy to reach the meeting point by city buses, by foot or by taxi. Intercity bus station "Žabica" is only 150 m (500 ft) away. Traffic in Rijeka's centre has been bad recently due to many roadworks, so it's recommended to start your drive towards the centre at least 15 minutes earlier than you've planned.

We really enjoyed the tour! We visited interesting and historical places and the guide had a (funny) story for each place. We also received many tips for activities and gained a deeper understanding of Rijeka. You can tell that he knows his way around and is personally invested in the culture of Rijeka. We definitely recommend the tour!
