Opatija - Lungomare

The Lungomare is the 12km / 7mi stretch of promenade that runs from Volosko to Lovran. It is one of the main highlights in Opatija and the surrounding area. Construction on the Lungomare began in the late 19th Century when Opatija began to develop itself as a resort destination. At the same time, elegant hotels began springing up, many of which still exist and have been restore, and are still catering to wealthy tourists. The Lungomare is a good place to stroll or find your own piece of oceanfront to soak up the sun. It's possible to set up along the shore here at any of the many rocky points jutting out into the sea.
