ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

Vukovar’s waterfront is one of the most beautiful river promenades in Croatia: the Danube here is nearly a kilometre wide, barges and pleasure boats pass the marina, and the walk connects the port, the Eltz manor and the baroque streets of the old town. After the heavy circuit of the memorials, the waterfront is where the city breathes.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

What you’ll experience

You walk the long promenade under the chestnut trees, watch the river traffic, sit at a café on the quay, and take the boat taxi across the Danube to the Serbian bank — the river here is a border and a boulevard at once.
