About Korzo
The Korzo is the pedestrian spine of Rijeka's center. The street follows the city near the port, with historic facades, cafés and passages into the neighboring blocks. The interest of the walk lies in the urban ensemble and the relationship between daily circulation and architecture.
The clock tower marks one of the route's reference points. While walking, take note of differences in facades and the access ways that connect the Korzo to the old streets. The area offers a reading of the lower town, in contrast with Trsat's fortification high on the slope.
The walk fits into a short stage but also serves as a link between other points in Rijeka. Use the street as orientation to explore the center on foot. The port city is not limited to a beach: the Korzo allows you to perceive its commercial and urban role before heading to Opatija or the islands.
