Opatija

Among the cities of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Opatija stands out for its long-established role as an Adriatic health resort. Set on the Kvarner Bay beneath the slopes of Mount Učka, it developed rapidly during the Austro-Hungarian era and became a fashionable winter destination in the late 19th century. The Hotel Kvarner, opened in 1884, is a landmark of that resort history. Opatija’s 12-kilometre Lungomare coastal promenade links its parks, villas and bathing spots with Volosko and Lovran, while the Maiden with the Seagull statue has become a familiar seafront symbol.
