City Market - "Placa"
Across from the “Modello” Palace is the main market, a harmonious compound of two pavilions and a fish market where, in the morning hours the real Rijeka can be experienced. The atmosphere of a “vivid” city, full of fresh fish and fruit and vegetables takes us back around a hundred years and offers the same raw materials that were also available for our ancestors. The first two pavilions were built in 1880 and the fish market at the beginning of 20th century. The main market today is therefore a protected cultural monument. Location
Mondays through Saturdays, 7am – 1pm/ Sundays 7am – 12pm
ZARA Rijeka
The store of this well-known Spanish brand in Rijeka is also the most beautiful Zara store in the whole of Croatia, and its special feature is certainly the fact that its design presents a new concept that has only been seen in Dubai, Madrid and Istanbul.
It is about Soft, the concept of arranging trade that has not yet dominated all the world's metropolises, so we got its premiere in Rijeka. At its new address, Zara is located in the former Post office building on Rijeka's promenade, and today it spreads through the ground floor and three upper floors, thus telling a new fashion story to its customers.

Ri Department Store
RI Department Store opened in 1974, connecting a series of historical buildings on Korzo and the Riva. This type of multilevel department store used to be a big hit during Yugoslavia. Not many of them survived modern days. You’ll find a variety of stores, cafes and restaurants inside. However, the building itself isn’t well kept and many premises remain empty. So, if you’re are searching for a big modern shopping center, you might want to have a look at the other shopping options outside Rijeka city center.
Address: Korzo, Riva 6

Šta da? Happy Hobby Shop
Šta da? is one of the most creative stores you’ll ever set your foot in. Most of the items you see on the shelves are created by Rijeka-based artists, with many of them carrying the famous Rijeka catchphrase Šta da! (‘You Don’t Say!’). You’ll find hand-sewn bags fashioned from recycled rubber, leather and linen, t-shirts, watches, pillows, necklaces, dresses, diaries, calendars, umbrellas, cups and more. Once you feel the joy, optimism and a good vibe of the store, you might even decide to create something by yourself.

Deliiicije
"Deliicije" shopping on Korzo street is a wonderland for gourmands who want to taste Croatia. At Deliiicije, they say that Croatia tastes sweet like ripe figs and juicy oranges, which they use to make jams, cakes and liqueurs. It tastes aromatic, like the lavender they add to chocolate and crackers. It tastes like dark chocolate and bitter rakija liqueur and spicy chutneys. Hungry anyone?

Industrial Zone Bakar
Today, the Kukuljanovo industrial zone represents the heart of the economic development of the entire region, with a total of 4,500 directly employed persons in the area, to which should be added at least as many employees of subcontractors and suppliers. According to historical data, as well as the growing number of companies that are located in the zone (Lidl, Plodine, Konzum, Bauhaus, Lesnina XXL...) or just intend to do so, Kukuljanovo is arguably the largest and most important industrial zone not only in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, but throughout Croatia.
