Lungomare is a 12 km long coastal promenade that connects the towns on the Opatija Riviera - Volosko, Opatija, Ičići, Ika and Lovran.
The promenade began to be renovated in 1885 and coincided with the opening of the first hotels in Opatija (Grand Hotel Kvarner, 1884 and Hotel Imperial, 1885). It was completed in 1889, when Opatija was declared a climatic health resort, and merged with Lovran in 1911, at the time of the greatest expansion of tourism on the Riviera.
Along the route of the promenade, memorials were erected to famous people who stayed in Opatija: the writer Henrik Sienkiewicz (above the Opatija harbour), the doctor Theodor Billroth (on the wall of the Church of St. James), General Jozef Pilsudski (in the lawn in front of the Art Pavilion "Juraj Šporer") .
Part of the Lungomare promenade passes through the famous central Opatija park.
