About Lungomare, Opatija
No stay in Opatija is complete without a walk along the Lungomare, the Franz Joseph I Promenade, which runs for ten uninterrupted kilometres along the sea. It links the centre of town with the neighbouring villages. The path passes beaches, grand Art Nouveau villas and the much-loved statue of the Maiden with the Seagull, with the sound of the waves for company. Look out for wild fennel and laurel along the way, and time your walk to end with dinner at one of Opatija’s restaurants.
