BASIC TOUR

The tour takes place in the entrance part of the unfinished underground fortress San Giovanni, a place normally closed to the public and far off the established tourist routes of Rijeka. In that place, a museum in itself, our expert Adventurer guides will introduce you to the history of the city and the key moments that formed it. The special effects and projections that we have prepared will give you the experience of going back in time and participating in those moments. We end the tour relaxing with a glass of wine.

This tour is a perfect combination of mini-adventure, education and relaxation. You don’t believe we successfully combined the three? Join us on the tour and see for yourself!

EXTENDED TOUR

This tour takes you into the turbulent past of Rijeka, and not just anywhere but exactly to the locations where that past took place. The tour of historical sites is also a trip to nature, where you can enjoy stunning views of the city.
The focal point of the tour is a series of under- and above-ground fortresses that were built in the 30s of the 20th century as the defence of the then borders. With their construction and location, the fortresses are a masterpiece of military engineering of their era. At the same time, the route leading to them is equally interesting and historically important. 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.
