Opatija, Coastal resort town in Kvarner Gulf, Croatia

The Mediterranean town sits at the foot of Učka mountain, stretching along the Adriatic coast with grand 19th-century villas and hotels.

Villa Angiolina, constructed in 1844 by merchant Iginio Scarpa, marked the beginning of modern tourism development in this former Austrian Riviera destination.

The Museum of Croatian Tourism in Villa Angiolina presents the evolution of coastal tourism through exhibits documenting the region's transformation.

The 12-kilometer Lungomare coastal promenade connects Opatija with neighboring Volosko and Lovran, offering sea views and access to beaches.

The Girl with the Seagull statue commemorates Count Arthur Kesselstadt who perished in an 1891 storm near the Opatija coastline.
