Why the walkway?

One of the integral elements of the Tourism Valorisation of the Representative Monuments of Rijeka’s Industrial Heritage project is the creation of the new urban, cultural and tourist route – the Walkway. It will comprise relevant sites from the story of the industrial and maritime heritage of Rijeka. So far, these sites have not been appropriately marked for tourist purposes. This is why they do not attract significant tourist attention, nor are the given an adequate role in the promotion of the town.

The two-and-a-half-kilometre long walkway is located in the very centre of the town. It consists of the following landmarks: the Sugar Refinery Palace, the City of Rijeka Museum, permanent exhibition of torpedo missiles / railway warehouses, the Capuchin church / the unfinished lighthouse, Ploech Palace, the building of the Port Authority, bunker / the monument to Carpathia, Jadran palace, Marina ship, Rinaldi palace, monument to a sailor and seafaring, a stone roller in Hartera paper factory, Calm Sea and Fair Winds installation, Wave sculpture, fish market, port cranes / main pier, ships Galeb and Uragan and Whitehead’s street Dolac.
