Bus from RIJEKA to KRAGUJEVAC

About the station RIJEKA

Rijeka is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 190,000 inhabitants. Because of its strategic position and its excellent deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially among Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. The city's economy largely depends on shipbuilding and maritime transport. Rijeka hosts the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc, first built in 1765, as well as the University of Rijeka, founded in 1973 but with roots dating back to 1632 School of Theology. Rijeka has efficient road connections to other parts of Croatia and neighbouring countries. The A6 motorway connects Rijeka to Zagreb via the A1, while the A7 motorway, completed in 2004, links Rijeka with Ljubljana, Slovenia, via Ilirska Bistrica and with Trieste, Italy. The A7 acts as the Rijeka bypass motorway and facilitates access to the A8 motorway of the Istrian Y network starting with the Učka Tunnel, and linking Rijeka with Istria.

About the destination KRAGUJEVAC

Kragujevac, with 179,417 inhabitants on the territory of the City, according to the 2011 census, is the fourth largest city in Serbia, and the seat of the Šumadija District, and is located about 120 kilometers south of Belgrade. It was built on the banks of the Lepenica River, in a valley between the extreme branches of the Rudnik, Crni vrh and Gledićke planine mountains. Kragujevac was first mentioned in a Turkish census book from 1476 as "Kragujfoča". It was named after the kraguj bird (a type of hawk) which was used for hunting in the Middle Ages, and today occupies a place of honor on the city's coat of arms.

In many ways, this city can be called "the first in Serbia" - it was the first capital of the modern Serbian state (1818-1841), the first gymnasium in Serbia was founded there, as well as the Lyceum, the forerunner of the University of Belgrade, the first court, the first theater, the first newspaper, the first pharmacy, a picture gallery, a museum, a library... The city has several significant institutions of regional, and some of national importance in the field of culture and artistic activities.

Kragujevac is a significant economic, cultural, educational and health center of Šumadija, Pomoravlje and neighboring regions, and today it is one of the strongest administrative and industrial centers in Serbia. Thanks to railway and road transport, Kragujevac is connected to Belgrade, Niš, Kraljevo, Čačak and other cities. It is best known for the "Zastava" automobile factory and the arms factory of the same name.

It is a city with a rich history and cultural heritage. One of the most significant historical sites in Kragujevac is the Memorial Park, dedicated to the suffering of civilians during World War II. This monument commemorates the massacre that took place on October 21, 1941, when more than 7,000 people were executed in Kragujevac. The memorial park consists of a memorial chapel, a monument, a museum, and a memorial complex that is perfectly designed to reflect the significance of this tragic event.
