Locals and tourists come here for gifts for various occasions, and for themselves they usually buy t-shirts with the inscription "ŠTA DA?" and car stickers with the inscription "I love the city that flows" (if you already don’t know, Rijeka means ‘river’) that is a sentence how locals express their love for Rijeka.
