Socialist, fascist and industrial tour

Hop in our Yugo or even few of them and let us take you through one of the most turbulent histories a city can have. Contradiction is the nickname of Rijeka in 20th century. Prepare yourself for the smell of old and vintage Yugoslavian car while observing the monumental architectural offspring of Austro-Hungarian monarchy, socialism, fascism and even Roman empire before it. You’ll feel the struggle of Rijeka while passing the underground tunnels partisans used for guerrilla fight against the fascist and nazis risking their lives daily to give Rijeka it’s freedom payed by blood of the fallen class.

Take a leap into on of the most economic progressive eras of the city, socialist one, when it rose from the dead once again and led the east block to compete the west by turning itself into a juncture of west and the east belonging to neither one of them and taking a destiny of her own in her hands once again – till the new stagnation. Prepare yourself for the mixture of different feelings of fight, the uncertainty, the loss, resignation, happiness and the pride all in once. Welcome to Rijeka’s 20 century.

We’ll visit old and original torpedo launch ramp, monument to liberation of Rijeka, paper factory, Rikard Benčić sugar and chocolate factory, Marshal Tito’s floating residence – ship „Galeb“, 3. maj (Famous shipyard), old mills and more.
