Very beautiful! I really have to visit these Dalmatian towns/cities!:)

Wow!

Rijeka looks amazing! Never knew it was so beautiful.
I guess i should put it on my "To visit before i die' list.

Great photos!

Nice pics. I will move it to "Your Photos" where we put usermade photos

Thanks for sharing, I love the Italian flair of the city :okay:


:cheer:

I have to say it seems to be very clean :okay: Will you post tours of other barely seen cities on SSC too?

awsome pics :)

Excellent collection of pics Bubach. :okay:

Awesome pictures! The city looks really nice. I'm sure everyone would agree with me when I say that we'd love to see more of your pictures! ;)

Yeah, incredible job with these photos!
Rijeka is easily one of the 5 most beautiful and orderly Balkan cities...which is why I don't understand the recent news about the drop in its population?:?

People moving to Zagreb or what?

Thanks everybody for your comments :)

Soon i will post pics of more Croatian places i collected this winter (Karlovac, Varazdin, Samobor, Zagreb etc.)

:cheers:

Danke schoen :D

Regarding the Rijeka's population, it's increasing drasticaly, Rijeka within next few years will most likely reach Zagreb or even surpass it in terms of economy.

You know, those pics would look really great on a certain new photo site. :colgate:

Gosh, I'm such a shameless promoter. :lol:

These are some excellent shots bubach_hlubach! Give us more!!

Rijeka is in my opinion the most beautiful city in Croatia. I really like the elegant architecture. To je stvarno prva klasa! From your pics, its appears that the commieblocks are in good shape. Is that the case, or am I missing something...

thanks again. :cheers:

Great city. Looks very Italian. What are the mountains in the background?

Very beautiful! I really have to visit these Dalmatian towns/cities!:)

Rijeka got nothing to do with Dalamatia which stretches just north of Zadar down to Dubrovnik.


Nice pics . Rijeka looks like any Italian port city , remindes me of Ancona or Bari. The only difference are the appartment blocks from the socialist time.

The mountain/massif is called Učka, the highest peaks are Vojak 1401 m, and Veli Planik 1272 m :)

Really nice!It reminds me a lot my city:Trieste!There'still someone who speak italian in Rijeka/Fiume??

WOW!!!! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Rijeka looks wonderful!!
I didn't expect it is so beautiful, I know city only because of the way to Dalmatia (holidays destinations) goes through Rijeka's suburbs, so I always conected city only with ugly commieblocks

Really nice!It reminds me a lot my city:Trieste!There'still someone who speak italian in Rijeka/Fiume??

there are 50 000 Italians still living in Croatia, they have a MP in Croatian Parliament representing Italian Minority, Tonino Piclua was a foreign Minster of Croatia under Racan SDP Government 2000-2003, and Italians enjoy high degree of cultural freedom, even have there own daily in Croatian which is btw printed in Rijeka... An Editor in Chief on major Croatian Weekly is also Italian from Dalmatia...

So, to your answer, yes there're Italians in Croatia and in Rijeka... :cheers:

Yes there are still Italians in Rijeka city centre. Only last year a couple of the police stations in Rijeka became bi-lingual. There are police officers on at all time to handle inquiries in Italian. :)

I agree! Specially that feeling when you drive from zaobilaznica down to centre...

Rijeka is my favourite Croatian city... I live in zagreb, but I have a flat in Rijeka too... Commie, 16th floor, above that new buliding Tower centre... great view to Krk, Cres and Kostrena on west and Opatija on east... and of course you can see whole Rijeka city...

Bubach - perfekcija!

Great pics! :okay:

My aunt is moving to Rijeka in a few weeks! This is a realy good oportunity for me to get to know this city, when I wisit her! :) :) :)

Thanks for the infos guys!

I don't know about Rijeka but my high school teacher in Zagreb was Italian Croatian, think he was from Pula.

^Interestong!Thank you for these infos!

There are a lot of People who speak Italian.Older people(among them are my grandparents) went into Italian schools betwen two World wars so they speak Italian same well like Croatian.I think Rijeka has few elementary schools and gymnasiums.There are lot of people which are not Italian ,but they have class on Italian language.Also in domestic dialect many words have Italian root.So,we can say Italian language has almost same importance like English.

I agree! Specially that feeling when you drive from zaobilaznica down to centre...

mislim da se termin tranzit, koristi kao zaobilaznica , i cesto je vrlo opterecen saobracajem, ili grijesim :)

tranzit je tranzit - koristenje prolaza kroz inozemni teritorij u prometnom i putnickom smislu, znaci privremeno odrediste, a ne krajnje.

Zaobilaznica je samo zaobilaznica, premda postoji i obilaznica :D

Nice

very nice

i knew that Rijeka (Fiume) looked (looks) Italian but that much Italian, i couldn't have ever imagined! you should build some monument to thank Venetian republic and Austrian Hungarian empire for leaving you such a nice town :) that would be a nice gesture :)

^ hehe, yeah maybe we should. ;)

btw, somebody mentioned above Dubrovnik as being a nicer city, so now I wish Dubrovnik was more closer to Rijeka to show off the authentic Croatian architecture as well :)

:cheers:

Dubrovnik is maybe most beautiful city in all World, but his position is far away.For example In Opatija you can find a lot forging tourist in any time of year especially at weekend (1 hour from Italia, half hour from Slovenia, 2 Hours from Austria).Most of them Come to have dinner or lunch, some walk .It is so close that they can come just to drink coffee and go back :)

I did that last friday :) 2 hours from Zagreb to Opatija, and after that I spent 2 days in beautiful Istria... What a weeeknd :cheers:

Usually I need 20 min. to reach Opatija.Now, when almost all roads are dug (magistral and local gas pipeline) I need little bit more :)

Great to see a thread devoted to Rijeka.

It is a very underrated city by many people and I think it possesses a unique port & industrial 'charm' if that makes any sense. It really is a melange of Central European (Hungarian) architecture interspersed with Italian, medieval Croatian (Trsat) and commie era buildings. It is an odd city but I like it and I am hoping to pop over there for a few days in June or July. If I have time I will take some pictures.

Big ups to Bubach, been reading this forum for a while but only registered today, I like your pics & threads, keep it up :cheers:

Wonderful photos! My family lives in Rijeka and last time I'd been there was 3 years ago. I adore this city!

I love Rijeka too!! Its a beautiful port city!! A credit to Croatia!

:eek2: That's why Rijeka's my second favourite city in Hr.
