Moscenicka Draga is known as the gem of the Opatija riviera, the riviera inscribed in golden letters in the history of Croatian tourism. The brightest star of the riviera is the glorious city of Opatija, merely 13 km away from Draga, the birth place of Croatian tourism, with the Kvarner hotel, the first hotel on the Adriatic coast built in 1884, proudly standing in its midst. Today, Opatija is one of Croatia's high-end tourist destinations known for its luxury hotels, top restaurants and shops, with a sea front stretching 12 km from Volosko to Lovran, creating a unique zone of tranquillity and recreation.

Along with the old, scenic coastal town of Lovran and the Medveje inlet, the landscape image of the riviera is rounded off with a beautiful town of Moscenicka Draga. Draga has one of the most beautiful beaches on the Croatian coast, with another six, larger or smaller beaches in the vicinity. Top gastronomy, a variety of holiday activities, well supplied supermarkets, inummerable forest and mountain trekking paths are reason enough to spend an active holiday tailored to your wishes.

Draga has always relied on, and been dedicated to its status of a tourist destination, so the hospitality of its citizens truly comes from the heart.

With a range of private accommodation options, two hotels are also available, with the Marina hotel boasting 4* rating and a splendid wellness and spa centre, offering a range of treatments and open to non-resident holiday makers as well.

Located only 28 km from Moscenicka Draga is Rijeka, the regional cultural and business centre, with a variety of museums, churches (the best known is the Church at Trsat) cultural and historical sights, as well as shopping malls catering for shoppers of all ages and budgets.

A forty minute drive from Draga takes you to the 1402 m summit of Ucka, the highest point in the landscape and the centre of the Ucka Natural Reserve, overlooking the entire Istria and Kvarner region. Here, the serenity created by the shade of a hundred-year old trees offers a refuge from the coastal heat. Numerous hilltop villages in the area abound with historic ancestral seats. We recommend a visit to Moscenice, Brsec, Veprinac, Kastav, the villages where the spirit of the past is still palpable, the spirit of a different, more relaxed life, yet strangely familiar regardless of the part of the world one comes from.

After the sightseeing of the area, return to your own paradise on Earth - Moscenicka Draga, waiting to welcome you back, happy and ready for new adventures to embark on the next morning.
