RIYP: Where is your favourite place to drink coffee or go out at night?
Mirna: I like to get a cup of coffee in Cukarikafe... It is a favourite city cafe, both for daily lattes and for evening night outs.

RIYP: Where is your favourite place to relax in Rijeka?
Mirna: I love walking on Trsat, the wonderful view from the Fortress is truly relaxing. I often head out to the Molo Longo pier looking out at the river from the sea front.

RIYP: What is the best way to discover the city? Which activities do you recommend?
Mirna: Still I believe that discovering Rijeka is best 'on foot'. It's what I choose to do when I travel and go sightseeing around other world cities. Apart from walking and exploring city spots with your usual favourite city guide, I also suggest the city tourist bus which in a short space of time can help you discover the most important landmarks around the city!

RIYP: What is the most ideal place to shop? What do you recommend as a souvenir from Rijeka?
Mirna: I love going to Korzo, the main city promenade full of shop windows and various deals! But the side streets and alleys reveal some stunning small stores and lots of interesting offers. I recommend a souvenir that will remind you of your holidays in Rijeka, and naturally, each person has their favourite goodie! For me personally, a souvenir to remember must be either something useable or a recognisable drink or food from the local area. Something that with only a glance, touch or taste, brings me back memories of that very vacation!

RIYP: Which of the local specialties do you recommend as a 'must-try' for visitors?
Mirna: I recommend patties of anchovies, simple and fine at the 'Nebuloza konoba'. Of course, other fish dishes are certainly worth trying... In our part of the world it's what we do best, it's local and super delicious!
