Advent in Opatija

Enjoy a fascinating Advent by the sea in the festive atmosphere of Opatija. Stroll through the beautifully decorated town and spend an unforgettable Christmas holiday.


Luxuriously decorated streets and squares, an ice skating rink, and various musical and theatrical performances at numerous magnificent locations are just a small part of the enchanting Advent in Opatija program.

The sound of Christmas carols can be heard all around, and the delightful scents of mulled wine and hot chocolate guarantee a truly memorable experience for all visitors. A festive atmosphere, mild winter climate, and the closeness of the sea together make the perfect recipe for the Advent of your dreams.


Just like a beautiful festive picture book, Opatija will connect all these experiences and offer a fantastic festive atmosphere by day and great visual attractions by night.

Giant figures of the Nutcracker, glittering gifts, illuminated century-old cypresses, and many other unique decorations will be perfect companions for a walk through the heart of the town that will remind you of a kingdom from children’s imagination this winter. Especially interesting will be the exhibition of classic dresses made exclusively from the natural materials of Opatija’s parks and the exhibition dedicated to Nutcrackers, unique artistic figures that have become a trademark of Opatija’s Advent.
