About This Destination

Rijeka brings screen action into the everyday life of a port city. Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021) filmed around the central market and theatre, while the steps beside Hotel Bonavia became a demanding stunt set. A van plunging towards an improvised fruit and vegetable market remains one of the memorable moments of the shoot.

The city’s screen history also includes The Winds of War (1983), filmed in Dolac Street beside the Venetian House. A walk between Dolac, Korzo and the market connects these productions with Rijeka’s distinctive streets and façades.
