Rijeka – the city of women

Rijeka, the largest Croatian port located between the Mediterranean and Central Europe and a city symbol of free spirit, will host the Women's Weekend event this year.

In 2020, Rijeka was the European Capital of Culture and host to numerous artists from the world, European and Croatian cultural scene, thereby strengthening its position as a cultural and artistic center.

With their work and achievements through science, architecture, culture and public activity, numerous notable women contributed to the construction of Rijeka as we know it today. The fact that Rijeka is one of few Croatian cities with a feminine name is also interesting, thus imposing itself as a logical and ideal gathering place for women from the region and the world.

Rijeka offers its numerous tourists, citizens and visitors a multitude of attractive, larger and smaller cultural and entertainment programs in which everyone will find something to their liking:

– superior accommodation such as Hilton Costabella Rijeka Spa & Beach Resort

– the famous restaurant Nebo in the hotel of the same name, which was awarded a Michelin star last year and where all visitors can taste creative dishes with a wonderful view of the Kvarner Bay

– throughout the year, Rijeka offers a number of events and rich musical and cultural content

All visitors to the Women’s Weekend traveling from other cities will find their arrival in Rijeka easier thanks to its excellent transport connections. The highway that runs from the capital of Croatia – Zagreb, between Istria and Kvarner, but also close to Italy, Slovenia and other neighboring countries – allows visitors from various parts of our beautiful region to visit this unique event!

Rijeka is looking forward to your arrival!
