Prikaži sve slike
2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Located beneath the Učka mountain and on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, Opatija is one of Croatia's most famous destinations thanks to its local climate, beautiful architecture, boutique hotels, and luxurious, well-tended parks and promenades. Opatija is called the Queen of Adriatic for a good reason.

Take a walk with me and explore the beauty of my hometown! If you like relaxing walks then this tour is a great option for you since the majority of the walking will be on Opatija's 14 km long promenade called Lungomare and Opatija˙s magnificent botanical parks. The incredible scenery of Kvarner Bay will charm you as it still charms me for the past 30 years.

To add, did you know that Albert Einstein, Isadora Duncan, Sergei Yesenin, and many more have visited Opatija? I will show you the balcony from which Isadora Duncan searched for inspiration; a place where the Lumiere brothers filmed their first film and many many more!
