Opatija is a charming coastal town with a rich history and culture. 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 boasts numerous places of interest. The town’s streets are filled with houses distinguished by a specific architecture and with villas from the Habsburg period.
Despite being close to numerous airports, a particular attraction of Opatija is still that it’s a seaside resort only a few hours’ drive from continental cities such as Milan, Vienna, Munich, Budapest, or Belgrade. Thanks to the closeness and the overlapping of great cultures, Opatija and its surroundings have always formed something of a multi-cultural hive, so pleasant for generating new visions and ideas.
Amadria Conference Park 25/7 features 9 multi-purpose meeting halls with modern facilities, a high-quality food and beverage offer serviced by nearby accommodation in five hotels with car parking facilities.
