Opatija is one of the most famous tourist destinations on the Croatian coast. It is located in Kvarner Bay, at the foot of Mount Učka, not far from Rijeka. The town is known for its long tourist tradition, which dates back to the 19th century, when it was a popular resort for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. Thanks to this rich history, Opatija still retains the elegance and charm of bygone times. The town is famous for its beautiful villas, well-maintained parks, and lush gardens. One of its main attractions is the Lungomare, a 12-kilometre-long seaside promenade that connects Opatija with the surrounding towns and offers stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. Another symbol of the town is the Statue of the Maiden with the Seagull, which attracts many visitors and photographers. In addition to its natural beauty, Opatija offers a rich cultural and social life, with numerous festivals, concerts, and events held throughout the year. Its mild climate, the combination of the sea and Mount Učka, and its well-kept beaches make Opatija an ideal destination for rest and relaxation.
