Arriving in Rijeka, you're immediately struck by the color contrasts. Green forested hills give way to red rooftops clustered around a natural harbour of sparkling blues and green. Its strategic location at the head of an island-filled bay has meant Rijeka has been fought over since Roman times. Take a private Rijeka tour and immerse yourself in this region of Croatia, the "Gateway to the Adriatic."

Rijeka's had a tumultuous history, complements of various Mediterranean seafaring powers. Follow your guide through the narrow streets and lanes surrounding the port before heading to the city's open-air market. If you're inspired to window shop, follow the crowds to pedestrianized <i>Korzo</i> street, lined with ornate period buildings. When it's time to dine, head around the bay to Opatija, order fresh seafood and gaze across the water at Rijeka's flickering lights.

Visitors with enough time should arrange a guided visit to Pula, home to an amazingly well-preserved Roman amphitheatre.
