Advent in Opatija and Rijeka
Overview
Program of the trip
Highlights of the excursion:
· immerse yourself in the Advent atmosphere by the sea
· be enchanted by the town hall, the clock tower and the richly decorated Korzo in Rijeka
· visit Trsat and admire the beautiful view of the "gateway to the Kvarner"
· take a walk through the picturesque center of Opatija
· don't miss the giant nutcrackers, the main attraction of the city's Advent
In the morning hours we will depart from various places in Slovenia towards Croatia. We will continue past Ilirska Bistrica to Rijeka, which takes on a particularly magical appearance during Advent. We will stroll through the town and see the main sights such as the Cathedral of St. Vitus, the Ross House, the city market, the main shopping street Korzo and we will go to the settlement of Trsat – a 138 m high hill with a fortress and a wonderful view of the Kvarner. After free time we will drive to Opatija, which has been one of the most popular European resorts for almost two centuries, and in December turns into a lavish festive picture full of unforgettable experiences. Giant nutcrackers standing "guard" in red outfits, an ice rink just a few steps from the sea, numerous exhibitions, musical and stage performances, the sound of Christmas songs accompanying visitors on romantic walks among magnificent light decorations and illuminated century-old cypresses… In the evening we will set off for home, arriving there during the night hours.
