Osijek river cruises, Croatia

What's great about Osijek river cruises?

Osijek might be Croatia’s fourth-biggest city, but it has a really laidback feel. Most of the action’s clustered around the Baroque-style Ante Starcevic Square, a central plaza that’s actually shaped like a triangle. At one of its three tips, you’ll find the city’s tallest landmark, the Church of St Peter and St Paul. Head inside this cathedral for a look at its colourful frescoes – they date back to the 1890s. In amongst the city’s tan-tinted houses and well-preened public parks, you’ll find remembrance landmarks to Croatia’s War for Independence. The War of Independence Memorial honours the thousands who died defending the city in the 1990s conflict. The Red Fico art installation, meanwhile, pays tribute to when a Fiat 500 tried to stop a Yugoslavian tank from invading, by recreating the event in full scale.
