Osijek is the fourth largest city in Croatia and the heart of the Slavonia and Baranja region. It is known for its rural surroundings, Baroque architecture, 12-km long Drava River promenade, and rich cultural heritage. The city is famous for its old town called Tvrdja (the 18th-century fortress), beautiful parks, and excellent gastronomy.

The University of Osijek - UNIOS is the third largest in Croatia, a home to 16,000 students and more than 2,500 staff.

Being the greenest city in Croatia, and close to the Kopacki Rit Nature Park, whcih is a swamp, Osijek is known for its little, annoying "pets" - mosquitoes. As we "love" them so much, we even build statues and artwork dedicated to the little flying nuisances.

Did you know that only female mosquitos bite and prefer men over women? While staying outdoor, make yourself less attractive to mosquitos by using an effective repellent (such as those containing DEET or icaridin).
