World Tourism Day on The Routes of the Frankopans and FREE excursions

On the occasion of World Tourism Day, the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Cultural-Tourist Route The Routes of the Frankopans are giving citizens a gift inspired by the cultural and historical heritage of the Frankopan family!

Under the auspices of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), World Tourism Day is celebrated on September 27 to raise public awareness of the great impact of tourism on social, cultural, political and economic values ​​around the world. This year, World Tourism Day has the theme “Tourism and Peace”. This is to emphasize the important role of tourism in promoting peace and understanding between cultures and people. Leaning on this inspiring topic, the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County emphasizes the importance of tourism not only as an economic activity, but also as a means of strengthening interpersonal relations and understanding other cultures. Tourism has a unique ability to bring people together, develop cooperation between them and create unique experiences that enrich the lives of both tourists and their hosts. In this spirit, the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County participates in the celebration of World Tourism Day by organizing a trio of free trips for citizens that will enable them to discover the beauty and richness of the cultural and historical heritage of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County through the Cultural-Tourist Route The Routes of the Frankopans. Three excursions have been designed – each with a different destination and unique content. A special bus with fifty seats for excursionists is provided for each trip.

Excursions start on Friday, September 27 in the morning from Jelačić Square in Rijeka:

  • The first bus leaves at 8:30 am and goes to Vinodol. The trip includes visits to Hreljin, Drivenik, Bribir and Grobnik. The planned return to Rijeka is around 5 pm.
  • The second bus leaves at 9 am for Gorski Kotar. The excursion includes visits to Kraljevica, Brod na Kupa, Stara Sušica and Grobnik. The planned return to Rijeka is around 7 pm.
  • The third bus leaves at 9 am and takes the passengers to visit Košljun and Vrbnik. The planned return to Rijeka is around 5 pm.

The tours are free, but due to the limited number of places, it is necessary to register via the link.

Applications are open until September 25, 2024, or until the buses are full.
