Next we reach the mainly commercial and industrial city of Rijeka blends into the famous Opatija Riviera, as do the charming smaller towns in the hills and along the bay, giving a wide variety of tourist attractions and sites of interest to the visitor.Rijeka itself has a mixture of impressive and historic buildings, including enough churches to justify its fame as a pilgrimage destination. The natural beauty surrounding the city complements the Old Quarter's pretty streets, grand buildings and architectural attractions.
