Dobar dan / Bok
Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only — wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.
Walk the Lungomare — a 12km seafront promenade built in 1885 that connects Opatija to Lovran. The morning mist over Kvarner Bay is extraordinary. Visit the Villa Angiolina gardens for free.
