Opatija

Things to do in Dubrovnik

• 

  Take a Stroll Down the Walk of Fame

  While Opatija’s Walk of Fame may not come with the names of glamourous Hollywood stars, it’s really no less interesting. Launched in 2005, it honours many legendary Croatian names as a symbolic tribute to all those whose cultural, artistic, scientific or sporting endeavours have contributed significantly to the promotion of Croatia around the world. Just of few of the names that have been honoured include inventor Nikola Tesla, tennis great Goran Ivanišević and poet Tin Ujević.

  Enjoy the Views, Beaches and Mansions Along the Lungomare

  The shaded promenade that follows the rocky coast for 7.4 miles is a must visit. Even if you don’t have time to walk the entire length between Volosko and nearby Lovran, you’ll want to take advantage of at least a short trek, to enjoy the enchanting views with towering mansions and villas, some abandoned with others transformed into luxury hotels, along with stretches of beach and the beautiful sea views in an area where the riviera is at its best.

  Visit the Museum of Croatian Tourism and Its Breath-Taking Surroundings

  Villa Angiolina was once the heart of the high society crowd that came to visit in the 19^th-century, built in 1844, with guests like Emperor Franz Jozef himself. Today it serves as the Museum of Croatian Tourism, preserving memories of its fascinating past. The building itself is one of the grandest in the city, with remarkable frescos, gilded mirrors and geometric floor mosaics. It showcases a permanent collection of posters, brochures, postcards and old photos that trace the history of tourism.
