Our Rakhia Bar is a small oasis with a great soul, located in the heart of the old town of Rijeka. In our bar you can try around hundred brandies which are a traditional product of this region. Some of the interesting flavors that you can taste are: apple-cinnamon brandy that is our must product, olive and almond brandy, lavender brandy, honey brandy with truffle, sage brandy and many others.

We're a small bar focusing on : 1. non-mainstream quality music of all genres; 2. a decent variety of premium local &international beers; 3. a great variety of local liquours & whiskeys; 4. above all else - a chill and friendly ambient where it won't take long for you to get to know us and start feeling like at home. Located at the bottom of the famous Rijeka tourist attraction, the Stairs of Petar Kružić, we're a perfect spot to get a coffee before climbing them; or, if you're not in the mood of climbing 500 stairs, just relax with a couple of drinks and get mesmerized by the sight of the Rječina river flowing below our cozy terrace. And you can be sure our great staff will find that perfect drink for you ;)

Trsat Castle represents a strategically embossed gazebo on a hill 138 meters above sea level that dominates Rijeka. As a parochial centre it was mentioned for the first time in 1288. Trsat Castle is one of the oldest fortifications on the Croatian Coast, where the characteristics of the early medieval town construction have been preserved. Today Trsat Castle, beside the Bazilisk souvenir shop and the Gradina coffee bar, is enriched with new facilities – gallery space where art exhibitions are held as well as open-air summer concerts and theatre performances as well as fashion shows and Literary evenings. Within Trsat Castle, at the Petra Zrinskog b.b. Address, is the Trsat Castle Info Point where any information about this building and the town of Rijeka can be found.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Korzo started to assume its modern-day outlines. The main promenade and meeting-point for Rijeka citizens as well as the construction area used in building the symbolic palaces demonstrate various styles including Classical, Historical, Secessional, and Modernist. Urban regulations appeared in the latter half of the 19th century, but these meant only an intensification of the rate of raising the seabed (with sand), and grand public constructions which appear to have very developed the seabed. Even then, at the turn of the century, the picture is of a littoral town straitened by its walls. Today, is hard to believe that until the sea-trench was filled-in and the town walls pulled down, this was only a gravel sea coast with a few wooden embankments and storehouses, a shipyard and a city log house which traded in cereals, fish and salt.

Gradski Toranj (City Tower), a symbol of Rijeka, is a good example of a typical round tower access-point, which lead into the fortified town. Today it dominates the central part of Korzo, although it was, during its time, overtopped by more recently constructed buildings. It was built in the Middle Ages, probably on the foundations of the Late Ancient, littoral town doors. Some baroque phases of its construction can be seen on the lower part of the front of the Tower, which are characterised by a richly decorated portal, an imperial coat of arms carved out of stone and a relief of the Austrian emperors Leopold and Charles VI. Rijeka paid them special respect due to the maritime orientation they introduced into the state policies of the Austrian court.
