Rijeka is traditionally the city at the crossroads of trading routs. Through Rijeka Europe is connected to the Mediterranean. from the Mediterranean, the cradle of the European culture, long time ago ideas and goods started their way to the north, through several coastal and Mediterranean port cities, one of which is Rijeka.
