Lungomare Promenade (Franz Joseph I Promenade)

Highlight • Trail

The Franz Joseph I Promenade, known locally as the Lungomare, connects the picturesque fishing village of Volosko with Opatija and further on with Ičići, Ika and Lovran. This landmark of Opatija has always been a favourite place for a stroll for local people and their guests. The Lungomare will take you to some of the most beautiful beaches in Opatija, town landmarks such as the Villa Angiolina and its surrounding park, and the statue of the Girl with the Seagull. Admire the view of magnificent historical villas and other spectacular pieces of 19th-century architecture while you walk by the sea.

Portić — Opatija's Small Harbor

Highlight • Structure

The small port of Opatija, known locally as Portić, is the traditional departure point for the boatmen's excursion boats, traditionally called barkajoli. Over time, this service has improved greatly and the small wooden boats specially made for this purpose in the local shipyards have become much more beautiful and comfortable. The barkajoli of Opatija were always there for their passengers, spoke several foreign languages, and the boats were always clean and well-maintained, usually equipped with seat cushions and a small wooden backrest for more comfort on the way. The barkajoli, which originally carried passengers along the Riviera or even to the neighboring islands by oars and only later motorized, have a defining character in the history of tourism in Opatija. Their legendary exclamation "barke fahren" has already become a common phrase in the region. The expression was even used for the title of a poem by the great Opatija poet Drago Gervais. The task of the Barkajoli is continued today by excursion boats, which today, as in the past, invite tourists to explore the Opatija Riviera from the sea side. For this purpose, here in the Portić and in some places along the Lungomare seaside promenade, you will find moorings for excursion boats marked with the "Taxi Boat" sign.

St. James Church (Opatija)

Highlight • Religious Site

Along the waterfront promenade, you pass a beautiful renovated church, quietly located in the park, not far from the Girl with the Seagull statue. In front of the church stands a golden statue of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a flower-covered hedge. The interior of the church is simply decorated with a beautiful altar. A visit is worthwhile!
