Crkvenica is very peaceful place with not much to see, but much to enjoy. Crkvenica promenade is probably the nicest part to enjoy in. It is few kilometers long, and it's nice for taking walk very early in the morning, when sun is rising. Leave a Comment Address: SetalisteDirections: Selce area

It was built in 1885 as a city theatre according to the design of the specialised Vienna Helmer and Fellner workshop, which designed similar buildings throughout the Austro-Hungary of the time.
The exterior is adorned by figurative compositions of Music and Drama by Venetian sculptor Benvenutti. The opening of the theatre was marked by a performance of Verdi's Aida. In a town which, at the time, was not supplied with electric current, the autonomous system of electric supply installed in the theatre by the Vienna Kremenczky company was a real sensation.
On the square in front of the theatre stand the statue of Croatian composer Ivan pl. Zajc and a fountain with a sculpture by D. Džamonja.
The theatre today houses the opera, the ballet and Croatian and Italian drama. Also known for some contoversial plays and excentric commissary. Leave a Comment

On 8 June 2007 the touRIst bus made its first steps and welcomed the first visitors on its Opatija-Rijeka route, telling them during their trip interesting stories about the past and present of our cities. This idea has come to life, most of all, thanks to the efforts of the City of Rijeka and the Rijeka Tourist Board in the desire to enhance what is on offer to tourists so that our guests, and also local inhabitants, can experience our cities in a totally new way.
Tourists can listen to interesting tales about the cities' past and present but also future in 10 languages: Croatian, Italian, German, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Hungarian, Chinese and Japanese. And children can listen to stories written especially for them in Croatian, Italian, German, English, French and Russian.

Product of the Helmer and Fellner workshop, was completed in 1885.
Quiet Neo-Renaissance decorations alternate with playful Neo-Baroque ones on its facades.
The palace illustrates the ambitions of Rijeka to imitate the Ring of Vienna and to compete with Trieste.
Today the building houses the Central City Library and the cultural centre of the Italian minority, the popular Circolo italiano di cultura. Leave a Comment Directions: city center
