Discovering Opatija’s Habsburg Elegance
This morning, we take a guided tour of Opatija, a historic town on Kvarner Bay often regarded as the birthplace of Croatian tourism. Once a fashionable spa destination for the Habsburgs and European elite, Opatija retains its charm with landscaped parks and Austro-Hungarian architecture.
