Venue

Opatija, often called the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, is one of Croatia’s most famous tourist destinations, with a tradition stretching back more than 175 years.

A mild and pleasant climate makes Opatija a perfect destination all year long. The town is surrounded by stunning nature. It is located at the foot of Mount Učka, a popular destination for hikers and excursionists and a boundary between the green Istrian peninsula and the littoral region which features a perfect harmony of varied landscapes.

Opatija is surrounded by charming small towns characterised by narrow streets and a rich history. The town’s streets are filled with houses distinguished by a specific architecture and with villas from the Habsburg period.

After World War Two, Opatija started a new chapter in its history. It became an all-year-round destination, whose combination of top-quality accommodation, leisure and congress facilities, varied events and excellent restaurants has rightly earned it the title of a 21st-century destination.
