Why choose Opatija?
A trendsetting place
“Be introduced in Opatija”, that has always been a matter of prestige and an enduring mantra. Opatija has always been a centre of the most important business, art and entertainment events. Charming your guests is easier in Opatija because Opatija has plenty of charm. This is an unwritten rule which has been valid for more than a century and a half. Major business events, spectacular concerts have always been at home in Opatija. Opatija’s long tradition as a convention destination and holiday resort is best illustrated by the fact that it was the venue for the Fourth Congress of Austrian Balneologists in 1885. With more than 25 hotels, most of them rated with four or five stars, numerous restaurants and recreational facilities, entertainment programmes and events of various kinds. Opatija can today satisfy the needs of even the most demanding of congress organisers and delegates. Read more
Why choose Opatija
Location, location, location!
The very attractive geographic position, enabling its warm seas to be quickly reached from many cities in Central Europe, lush green scenery and a pleasant climate (45° 20’ north latitude) were some of the main reasons for its beginning and the quick development of its tourism at the end of the 19th century. The town is renowned for its fine, well-tended parks and gardens, the 10 km-long Lungomare coastal promenade, numerous bathing spots and splendid fountains, which all make a perfect setting for villas and hotels that can accommodate up to 9,000 visitors. Thanks to the modern road infrastructure, Opatija is within a 5-hour drive of the most important cities of central Europe (Milan, Venice, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest), taking the central place in the Alps-Adriatic region. Opatija can also be reached by air via five international airports (Rijeka-island of Krk, Pula, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Trieste) that are all within two-hour drive. Read more
