From ugly duckling to a beautiful swan - discover how Opatija transformed itself quickly from a humble fisherman's village to a "place to be" for the Austrian aristocracy. In this tour we will walk on the seaside promenade pass the old mansions, through the flower gardens where it all began, and discover it's past and present that makes Opatija one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia. Being my hometown I want to show you Opatija though the eyes of a local. In addition to the "typical stories" allow me to tell you story of mine - how did I propose to my today's wife - on one of the idyllic benches of Park Angiolina. Find out how people of Opatija enjoy their coffee and how you can spend your time in Opatija like a real local! Looking forward to sharing it!
We start the tour in the downtown of Opatija, in the center called Slatina. On our tour, which is planned as a walking tour and a loop around the town and back to the starting point, we plan to see and discover: - the Croatian Walk of Fame - Slatina beach with statue of M. Krleža - 15th century abbey of St. Jacob's - statue and story behind the Lady with the Seagull - Juraj Sporer Gallery - Hotel Kvarner - the first hotel on the Adriatic coast - Villa Amalia - Villa Angiolina - the first villa and the cradle of Croatian tourism and the story of Iginio Scarpa - Park Angiolina - Statue of Friedrich Julius Schuller - without whom Opatija would develop the way it did - Market place and Opatija's upper town - walk down the main street back to Slatina On our tour we discover many more stories behind the villas, buildings, places as well as local tradition and beliefs. It is you and your party who decide what you would like to see - I can customize the tour for you, just let me know your wish list

Airport: ,Cruise: ,ByGuide: Slatina beach, Opatija (in downtown where the bus station is) is the best meeting point and starting point for this tour, however I can meet the travelers in another hotel or point in Opatija as long as it is around the center (along the M.Tita street)
