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.
The Croatian city of Split is located in Central Dalmatia, on the south western side of the country and has a picturesque setting lying on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. Split is an ancient port city that is centred around large Roman times Diocletian's Palace and has many bars, restaurants and cafes to cater for the large numbers of visitors it welcomes each year. In addition to its huge palace and Old Town which is full of ancient buildings and palaces, the city's harbour setting provides an added bonus for visitors as it provides additional facilities to enjoy.
The mountains behind the city provide a lovely backdrop to the city which faces the Adriatic Sea. The city itself doesn't have any beaches but Bacvice Beach is conveniently located nearby and is frequently very busy during the summer months. Other popular beaches are Kasjuni Cove to the west, Zlatni Rat Beach on Brac Island, and Potocine Beach on Bol Island which is also a good destination for windsurfing, scuba diving and sunbathing.
Ferries operating from the city's port depart to Ancona, Pescara, Rijeka , Korcula, Dubrovnik and Mljet.
