A Day-Trip To Rijeka, Croatia

August 3, 2015 ---- Rijeka is in all likelihood non on anyone's listing when visiting Croatia. The most beautiful coastal areas are to a greater extent than oft than non toward the due south of the country, such every bit to a greater extent than or less Split as well as Dubrovnik. However, if y'all direct maintain petty fourth dimension but desire to come across the ocean, Rijeka is an slow alternative for a solar daytime trip from Zagreb. Nathan as well as I didn't actually assist much virtually the beach on this business office of the the world because nosotros know that it is meliorate to a greater extent than or less the equator similar the beaches inwards Thailand as well as Mexico.

We decided to direct maintain a day-trip to Rijeka simply for the sake of seeing Croatia's coastal expanse as well as trying some seafood. The autobus ride took virtually two hours from Zagreb Bus Terminal, as well as nosotros bought a round-trip ticket online (https://www.autotrans.hr/en-us/home). Seats were assigned on the ticket as well as Free WiFi was available on board but wasn't real good.

Rijeka is quite pretty. We were glad nosotros made a trip there. The metropolis was bustling amongst tourists as well as locals because it was a dandy solar daytime for the beach. We went to the Tourist Information Center bespeak for directions to Trsat Castle as well as Ploče Beach. Both places are easily reached past times the populace buses, as well as y'all tin purchase the autobus ticket (single or solar daytime ticket) from the book-stands located across from the Tourist Information Center.

Trsat Castle is actually worth a visit. From in that location y'all volition larn the best sentiment of Rijeka as well as the Adriatic Sea. Ploče Beach is the most pop beach inwards Rijeka. It has a big facility amongst swimming pool, showers, cafes as well as restaurants correct on the beach. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of tourists as well as locals similar to hang out in that location for sun-bathing, swimming as well as fishing. The pebble beach is real beautiful but tin hold upwards painful to walk on amongst bare feet, as well as therefore it's wise to convey flipflops or swimming shoes. The Adriatic Sea is real clear as well as clean, but I mean value the H2O is mutual coldness fifty-fifty inwards August. (Well, I'm to a greater extent than used to the tropical beaches.)

Overall, it was real prissy as well as relaxing inwards Rijeka. If y'all are based inwards Zagreb as well as don't direct maintain much fourth dimension to go far, Rijeka is non a bad alternative at all. ;-)
