Zracna Luka Rijeka – airport on an island
Known in Croatia as Zracna Luka Rijeka, the Rijeka Airport is located on the KRK Island in the Kvarner Bay, approx. 13 miles southeast from Rijeka city centre. A tolled, nearly 1.5 km long bridge connects the airport to the mainland. The bridge is nowadays known as Krk Bridge (Krcki most in Croatian); the former name, Tito’s Bridge was abandoned after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Please note, that the toll (in 2015 - 35 kuna/approx. £3.2) is payable only when crossing from the mainland to Krk island. See Rijeka Airport location map.

About Rijeka
Rijeka is Croatia’s largest maritime port and one of the most important deep water ports of the Adriatic. Thanks to its strategic location in the region, Rijeka was strongly disputed in the past by Hungary and Italy and especially the Italian influence remains still very strong in this corner of Croatia. The name Rijeka means “river” in Croatian and the corresponding word in Italian, Fiume, is still often used when referring to the city. Between 1920 and 1924 the city and the surrounding rural areas enjoyed a status of an independent free state, as a Free City of Fiume.

Although traditionally port and shipyard activity was the main pillar of Rijeka’s economy, thanks to the superb natural settings in the Kvarner Bay and mild climate, nowadays tourism is thriving in Rijeka too. The city’s attractions, apart from beach and watersports activities, include also a varied historical heritage, museums, restaurants and vibrant nightlife.
