Osijek
Prostran između polja pšenice i rijeke Drave, bogat društvenim i kulturnim sadržajima, prozračan i okružen prirodnim ljepotama - grad po mjeri. Četvrti je najveći grad u Hrvatskoj sa 108.048 stanovnika. Najveći je grad i gospodarsko i kulturno središte istočnohrvatske regije Slavonije, kao i upravno središte Osječko-baranjske županije. Osijek se nalazi na desnoj obali rijeke Drave.Od vremena prapovijesti, područje Panonske nizine civilizacijski je "hotspot". Tijekom antike naseljavaju ga Rimljani, a potom u srednjem vijeku Slaveni i Ugri (Mađari). Osvojivši Slavoniju i velik dio Ugarske, sredinom 16. stoljeća Osmanlije ovdje grade osmo svjetsko čudo – drveni Sulejmanov most koji je iz Osijeka, preko sedam kilometara močvara, vodio do središta Baranje, Darde. Nakon što su krajem 17. stoljeća Osmanlije potisnuli Austrijanci (usput spalivši most) počinje nova faza osječkog graditeljskog "booma". Utvrđeni, središnji dio grada koji se u to vrijeme sastojao od tri odvojena naselja, proglašen je vojnim središtem. Iz močvare će do 1722. niknuti jedna od najvećih tvrđava u Hrvatskoj, poznata i kao Tvrđa.

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
