We start and end it in the city centre, drive along the Louisiana and Petroleum roads, stop at historically important locations such as Banska vrata and bridge Pašac, and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city.
The crown of the tour is a walk through the 1000 m long underground fortress Katarina B and the story of the Battle of Rijeka, the battle for the liberation of Rijeka in World War II. During the walk along an easy hiking trail, we will also visit the above-ground parts of several other fortresses and enjoy the view of the Rječina river canyon and Rijeka’s old mills, which you can get to know better on our tour Cycling Around.
The tour ends in the entrance hall of the unfinished underground fortress San Giovanni with socializing, a glass of wine and screening of a short film about the restoration of Rijeka after the Second World War.
If you want to get to know Rijeka from all its sides, this is a right tour for you.
