Croatia Bus Road Trip. Third Stop: Rijeka

I'm on a Road Trip, so I'm obviously moving on and on. Although I'm not racing through Croatia, I hardly spend two nights in a row in one place.

A Croatian city for Croatians - but they share it generously with visitors from all over the world

If I had to choose one, though, it would be Rijeka.

Complete Guide to RIJEKA

(Edited November 2018)

The other day at a party, I overheard a conversation: Two people were talking about travelling, and the girl said: "You know, I also enjoy just being at a place".

I've found that great - just being. No racing through cute alleys full of historic buildings, no waiting in line at museums, no pushing on boats and squeezing in vans - just being at a place.

Trg Ivana Koblera, the Kobler square with the unusual fountain.

And this is exactly what you can do in Rijeka, Croatia's third largest city, before continuing to Istria or to one of the beautiful islands. Just being there. Just walking along the pedestrian street that is called Korzo - an old-fashioned name that makes me smile. Just watch the locals shopping at ordinary stores. Just have a coffee or an Aperol on one of the terraces.
Just be there.
