Opatija boasts the longest tourist tradition in Croatia, the tradition was founded back in the time when the Habsburgs ruled the area. This may be due to its extremely favorable geographic position, just 500 kilometres from Vienna, Milan and Munich, and the fact that Opatija has been the most accessible way to the Mediterranean from Central Europe. Long romantic promenades and the most beautiful parks of Croatia embellish Opatija. The Villa Angiolina is the cradle of tourism in Opatija.
