Osijek:
It is the largest city and the economic and cultural center of Slavonia (eastern Croatia) and the administrative center of the Osijek-Baranja county.
Osijek is located on the right bank of the Drava river, 25 km upstream of its confluence into the mighty Danube; its elevation is 94 m. Transportation links include major railway and highway junctions, a river port, and a regional airport.
Osijek remains a popular domestic tourist destination for its Baroque style, open spaces and ample recreational opportunities. The most important sights in the city include the main square, Trg Ante Starcevica, Trg sv.Roka, the promenade along the Drava ("promenada"), and the suspension pedestrian bridge toward Baranja.
The Municipal Park of King Petar Krešimir IV and the King Tomislav Park date from the beginning of the 20th century, and are protected national landmarks. Osijek is also home to one of the few Croatian zoological gardens, along the Drava River.
