Rijeka is an important transport hub. It has a railway and coach station, a busy port and an international airport (the latter is located on the nearby island of Krk, and is accessible by road bridge). Rijeka is just a few hours’ drive from the following cities: Budapest, Ljubljana, Milan, Munich, Venice and Vienna. For more information on how to get to Rijeka by air, sea, car, coach and rail please check category Getting there.

If you are coming to the Opatija riviera by car from the direction of Zagreb, your best bet is to bypass Rijeka and travel a further 15km to the west, thus avoiding city traffic. If you’re coming from the direction of Italy or Slovenia, take the turn for Opatija at Matulji. If you’re travelling to Crikvenica, Selce or Novi Vinodolski, bypass Rijeka and use the coastal road that heads to the south, which is signposted for Split with yellow local route signs (don’t follow the green signs which will take you inland onto the motorway).

If you’re arriving by air, you can reach the city centre by catching the Autotrolej bus or by taking a taxi. Check category Getting around for more information.

If you’re arriving at Pula airport, head for the city main coach station at Trg I. Istarske brigade; from here you can catch frequent bus services serving Rijeka, Opatija, Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski. For timetable information check out www.autobusni-kolodvor.com.
