Review:
The largest city in Eastern Croatia, Osijek is an elegant university town with plenty of history. The 18th-century Hapsburg defensive fortress is a big draw for many visitors, but there are also a good number of beautiful and historic cathedrals, castles, and other neoclassical buildings. Strolling along the promenade on the banks of the Drava River makes for an enjoyable afternoon; plenty of restaurants and cafes can be found here. There's more than enough to do in the city itself, but it's also a great place to base yourself if you're interested in visiting the surrounding countryside or the Kopacki Rit Nature Park.
