Daily life

Osijek sits on the Drava River and is Croatia's fourth-largest city; during Ottoman rule (1526-1687) it was known as Ösek, and in 1566 Suleiman the Magnificent had an 8-kilometre bridge of boats built across the river. Daily planning moves between the bastions, gates, and inner courtyard of the Tvrđa, whose construction began in 1712 and which is considered Croatia's largest and best-preserved Baroque fortress complex.

Transport

Osijek Airport sits in the village of Klisa, roughly 15-20 km from the centre depending on the source; shuttle arrangements vary, so taxis are the most reliable option. Osijek is one of only two Croatian cities with a tram network, alongside Zagreb, running two lines together with eight bus routes. The Tvrđa fortress district is compact and walkable.
