Located in Croatia, the city and seaport of Rijeka lies on the Kvarner Bay which is an inlet of the Adriatic Sea. The city is surrounded by mountains and sea and visitors to the city can expect a typically Mediterranean climate, especially during the summer months. This is especially the case along the coast to the east of the city at Pecine and Kostrena, and also to the west at Kantrida and Preluk. In contrast, in the winter just 10 km from the city visitors can enjoy a spot of Alpine skiing. In fact the ski slopes can be seen from Kvarner Bay.
The city has enough things to see and do to keep most tourists occupied for a day or two. Sites to see include the Austro-Hungarian buildings that line the city centre. Collectively they give the city a distinct old European feel. There are also a number of interesting churches and museums that are worth visiting. The 13th century Trsat Castle, located on a hill overlooking the city, is impressive and during the summer is a great place to visit especially as the castle's courtyard has been turned into a restaurant.
The city's port has a passenger terminal with 11 piers and serves 200,000 passengers per year, largely traveling on services to nearby islands and other ports along the Adriatic coast.
Stari Grad is a popular location that is a gateway to the Paklenica National Park and lies around 45 km to the north east of Zadar. The city is situated on the northern side of the island of Hvar in the Dalmatia region of Croatia and lies at the east of a long protected bay and is thought to be one of the oldest towns in Europe. Buses make the town easy to reach, stopping in the centre, as well as outside of the Hotel Alan on the Dr. Franje Tudmana. Many people come to Stari Grad to take advantage of the plentiful camp sites there, especially since the adjacent National Park does not permit camping.
By wandering around Stari Grad's centre, along its narrow streets and through small squares, it is not hard to appreciate its historic past and perhaps its most popular attraction is Tvrdalj, which is a large a well preserved castle that once belonged to the Croatian poet Petar Hektorovic. Notice the Latin and Croatian inscriptions in the walls and the statue of Petar Hektorovic in front of the castle.
From the town's port, ferry services operate to Pescara, Ancona, Rijeka, Korcula, Dubrovnik and Mljet.
