The historic town centre was built on the cliff overlooking the bay of Kvarner, which is just one of the facts that makes it interesting to tourists. Cultural and architectural heritage of Omišalj is extremely rich and today it rightly bears the title of the town-monument.

19.06. Lovran
Lovran is a town with a long and diverse past and a hundred-year-long tradition of tourism. It is one of the oldest coastal settlements on the eastern shore of Istrian peninsula and once upon a time, it was an important urban and shipbuilding center. Later it became a fashionable resort of Austro-Hungarian nobility. A good climate, luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation and a favorable geographic location contributed to the rapid development of tourism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since that time, Lovran, together with Opatija, has been the most important locality on the famed Riviera. Rich historical heritage gives them both a special charm, something you wont feel anywhere else.
