EU PROJECTS

Cultural visits

Croatia’s third largest city, Rijeka, lies by the sea on the northern part of the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Rijeka is ideally located between the blue Adriatic Sea and the green mountains in the hinterland.

The city is known for its neoclassical architecture built mostly in the times of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, as well as for its port, the biggest one in Croatia and one of the three largest ports in the Adriatic Sea.

Its buildings, monuments, and culture reflect its history, when it was under the influence of numerous countries and former Italian and Austrian rulers. Once the main industrial city, and today a cultural centre that, in 2020, gained the status of European Capital of Culture, joining other famous cities such as Paris, Athens, Madrid, and Dublin.

The whole district is famous for its popular festivals and events (Rijeka Carnival, Chocolate Festival Opatija, etc.) and the local gastronomy, with many original recipes.

One of the most beautiful national parks in Europe, Plitvice Lakes became a popular destination for tourists from all around the world. It is visited by over 1 million people every year. In 1979, this national park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Close to the road that connects the Adriatic with inland Croatia, Plitvice Lakes is only a two-hour drive from Rijeka. An outstanding and picturesque series of lakes and caves connected by waterfalls is a must-see for anyone visiting Croatia. We offer our participants a chance to go on a one-day trip to Plitvice.

This one-day tour includes cruising to the beautiful islands of Krk and Cres, which are the two biggest islands in Croatia. Exploring the natural beauty of the seaside and beaches is a perfect way to enjoy your free time and relax.

Participants can enjoy the guided tour of Rijeka and Opatija, two famous Croatian cities. Exploring the cultural heritage of Rijeka and the touristic spots of Opatija with a professional guide is a great experience for everyone.

Discovering small romantic towns in the nearby region of Istria makes a perfect one-day getaway from the city rush. Picturesque places like Motovun, Labin and Rabac offer many beautiful sights and wonderful nature.
