Opatija and its surroundings offer plenty of opportunities for organising incentive and team-building programmes and excursions, regardless of whether you enjoy extreme sports, are interested in learning more about the area's rich history, or if you are a gourmet or wine connoisseur looking forward to tasting some of the region's specialities.
Spend a very special evening at a Viennese Ball in the original ambience of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the company of His Imperial Majesty and ladies and gentlemen dressed in historic costumes. The taste of delicacies from the imperial era and the sounds of the Viennese Waltz will transport you back in time to Opatija's bygone era.
For sport enthusiasts, the area's impressive coastal landscape offers several possibilities for sailing, diving in the crystal clear depths of Kvarner Bay, or enjoying the area's pebble and sandy beaches, secret coves, picturesque harbours and pristine nature.
If you love trekking or orienteering, you can start by exploring the trails in the Učka Nature Park and enjoying the area's marvellous landscapes with guided tours. To stimulate your sporting spirit, try to engage in some orienteering, and find control points using maps of the area, a compass or GPS devices. Mount Učka is ideal for caving and free climbing, or team competitions in the rocky karst landscape. Learn to descend by rope down a sheer cliff, or discover the magical subterranean world of the karst underground accompanied by an expert guide with all the necessary equipment.
If you are a fan of cycling, you can experience Kvarner's coast, highlands and mountains on more than 1,300 kilometres of marked bike trails. Thanks to the diversity of the landscapes and terrain, your ride will always be interesting and dynamic, whether riding alone, as part of an organised tour, or with expert guides.
Sea kayaking is almost like walking on the sea. Scan the surface of the sea, looking for dolphins, admire the impressive rocks and hidden caves, experience a most beautiful sunset. You don't have to be a professional athlete or particularly good rower.
While staying in Opatija, you can visit not only the town and its surroundings, but other parts of Croatia as well, to explore interesting natural landscapes or to learn more about the country's rich cultural heritage. Just to name few of them National Park Plitvice Lakes, Istrian Peninsula, islands Krk and Cres, Zagreb, Rijeka etc.
