Top 5 must see lungomare sites in Opatija

Villa Angiolina: It is located in the centre of Angiolina Park, in the immediate vicinity of the sea and the Hotel Kvarner. The Villa is ideal for ceremonial meetings, gala dinners, or cocktail parties that require a luxury ambience.

Maiden with the Seagull: The statue of Maiden with the seagull is a symbol, not only of Opatija, but the entire Kvarner region. Elegantly standing on the reef beside Lungomare promenade in Opatija, it intrigues all passengers with her interesting story and identity which was unknown for decades.

Church of the Annunciation of Mary: This church in Opatija (1913/1914) is a triple nave structure in the upper part of town; it was constructed of Kastav stone. The interior is dominated by granite and brick. Over the altar is a ciborium, similar to the one in the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, with a large cupola arising.

The Park of St. Jakob: The central park of Opatija is a horticultural monument at the area of 3.64 hectares. It is divided into 60 fields with 150 plant species. Many of them originated in the distant locations and are not typical for this climate.

Hotel Kvarner: Hotel Kvarner was the first hotel in Opatija and the Adriatic, opened in 1884. Its famous Crystal hall and beautiful terrace host numerous glamorous events throughout the year.
