THE alternative city in Croatia
by rsudic
In Rijeka , alternative club scene and music concerts are numerous. Being mainstream here is not popular. Being different, that's cool. Here, you'll find more events connected to rock music comparing to Zagreb (capital city).
There is website http://www.ri-rock.com/ where you can check what's going on.

The IT Department of the City of Rijeka, in cooperation with the company “Krk sistemi d.o.o.”, developed the Project of Free Wireless Internet Access in the centre of Rijeka for all the citizens that use portable computers, as well as all the tourists and visitors of this city. The signal of the free wireless Internet access covers the very city centre. The signal coverage forms the “circle” Jadranski trg – Korzo – Ulica Ignacija Henckea – Riva – Splitska ulica – Jadranski trg and Ulica Ante Starčevića.

Highlands
by anatlc
If you're into hiking, climbing and that kind of stuff, you'll love Gorski kotar. Its just 20-30 km from Rijeka (depends on where exactly you're going).
Risnjak and Snjeznik are my favourite mountains in that area. It takes something like 2 hours to get to the top, but you won't regeret all that trouble once you see the view. When its very very clear, you can see all the way to Italy.
Kostrena promenade
by rsudic
Kostrena is first small city after eastern exit of Rijeka. Don't be afraid when you see shipyard between this two cities. There is excellent place to walk next to the sea and enjoying nature and fresh clean air. You can go there by bus or taxi for relaxation but on weekends there are so many people walking along the promenade.
Check all photos attached. Photos are taken in winter. During summer here is nice beach (even so close to Rijeka city you can swim and belive me it's not that dirty as many people in Rijeka would tell you, of course, if you have more time, go to islands). Don't be afraid of heavy industry facilities. It's so common around Rijeka.
