The city name is derived from a castle and a church on the Rječina river (Latin Flumen Sancti Viti "St. Vitus stream") in today's Trsat district.[5] In Slovenian the city is called Reka, in Italian Fiume, and in German outdated Sankt Veit am Flaum or Pflaum, Hungarian formerly also Szentvit. The place name means "river" in Croatian, Slovenian and Italian. The component fluff or plum in the former German place name Sankt Veit am Flaum is derived from the Latin flumen for "river".

The port city of Rijeka in Croatia is an absolute highlight and still a real insider tip in the Kvarner Bay. Located between the well-known seaside resorts of Opatija and Crikvenica, this pearl is also often visited as an excursion destination. It is worth staying longer in Rijeka, because numerous sights in the old town, interesting museums and beautiful beaches are just waiting to be discovered! The absolute gem of the city is the Korzo, a beautiful pedestrian promenade with numerous colorful buildings built during the Habsburg Monarchy. Moreover, during a city walk you will find countless beautiful squares with old buildings, beautiful imposing churches and admirable castles.
