Opatija, an elegant tourist destination, is the centre of the Riviera with the longest tourism tradition in Croatia. Its advantageous location, flourishing vegetation and pleasant climate are the reasons for the beginning and boom of tourism at the end of the 19th century. Built at the turn of the 20th century, Opatija has preserved a discreet harmony with nature until today. Its parks, illuminated seawall (the 12 km Lungomare), exquisite beaches and beautiful fountains are a picture frame for Opatijas numerous villas and hotels. Opatija is situated in the Kvarner Bay, the point where the Mediterranean cuts deepest into Central Europe, into the foot of the Ucka Mountain (1,401 m). Because of its relatively stable temperatures (winter average: 7 C, summer average: 21.9 C), its high pressure and constant circulation of air, Opatijas climate is calming and refreshing. The contrast of the sea and mountains, the greenery of its parks and the blueness of the water, the old buildings and modern comfort, fun amusement parks and quiet resorts make Opatija and its surroundings captivating for tourists all year long. Congress venues, 11 indoor swimming pools, wellness programmes, casinos, bars, large summer stages, carnivals and festivals, opportunities for short excursions to the nearby surroundings and all-day trips to national parks or to Venice are all a part of Opatijas rich tourist offer.
