| Travelling from Istria towards Zagreb or Dalmatia, most
routes lead through the brusque port city of RIJEKA , hardly
worth a stopoff in its own right but an important transport
hub for onward travel. Regular buses run from Rijeka to
Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik; and it's also the starting
point for the once-daily Jadrolinija coastal ferry, which
calls in at Split and Dubrovnik on its way south. Rijeka is
easy to get in and out of. Train and bus stations are about
400m apart; the former at the western end of Trpimirova, the
latter at the eastern end of the same street on Trg Zabica.
The Jadrolinija ferry office (daily 7am-6pm, Wed & Sun till
8pm; tel 051/211-444) is just along the waterfront from the
bus station at Riva 16.
