Osijek
Großzügig zwischen Weizenfeldern und der Drau, reich an sozialen und kulturellen Inhalten, luftig und umgeben von natürlicher Schönheit - eine Stadt nach Maß. Mit 108.048 Einwohnern ist sie die viertgrößte Stadt in Kroatien. Sie ist die größte Stadt und das wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Zentrum der ostkroatischen Region Slawonien sowie das Verwaltungszentrum der Gespanschaft Osijek-Baranja. Osijek befindet sich am rechten Ufer der Drau. Seit prähistorischen Zeiten ist das Gebiet der Pannonischen Tiefebene ein "Hotspot" der Zivilisation. In der Antike wurde es von den Römern und im Mittelalter von den Slawen und Ungarn besiedelt. Nach der Eroberung Slawoniens und eines großen Teils Ungarns errichteten die Osmanen Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts hier das achte Weltwunder - die hölzerne Suleiman-Brücke, die von Osijek über sieben Kilometer Sumpfgebiet zum Zentrum der Baranja, Darda, führte. Nachdem die Osmanen Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts von den Österreichern zurückgedrängt worden waren (wobei die Brücke niedergebrannt wurde), begann eine neue Phase des architektonischen "Booms" von Osijek. Der befestigte, zentrale Teil der Stadt, der damals aus drei separaten Siedlungen bestand, wurde zum militärischen Zentrum erklärt.

I really loved this city. It is a city that is quite rich in history and culture. During our family vacation, we visited the Museum of Fine Arts and I was taken aback with the fine pieces of art displayed in this museum. We learnt about the history of this city.

My stay in this town was splendid.I visited several sites such as the Osijek Cathedral. It was really so beautiful. I loved spending my time admiring the beauty of this church. The Watergate Tvrdja is so unique and magnificent.

I visited the eighth wonder of the world, the wooden Suleiman's bridge in this location. It is approximately seven kilometres from Osijek over swamps and wetlands to Baranja, Darda. It was a dream come true for me and my husband. We took several photos for memory and I loved it.

I learned a lot of facts about the iconic buildings in this location. The military center in the central part of the city emerged from three separate settlements that existed before its establishment and one of the largest fortresses here was established in 1722. The place is a historical and heritage mine.

The square was really beautifully built, the fountain makes it a good place for creative photography. Also the buildings around were unique, they had ancient romanian architecture and design. It was great knowing that it is fourth largest city in the country. It really is a must place visit in Croatia

The city has wonderful churches. The restaurants here and the hotels are very affordable and have great tasting food. It is also rich in history from the romans, austrians and ottomans as it was once was their settlement. I enjoyed my tour
