We loved it

“We were on tour and had a couple of days off. We stayed for four days in Osijek and we couldn't had find a better place for us (4 people) to stay in. Very nice host and nice location with only a few minutes walk to the center of the city. If we ever come back to Osijek, this would probably be the place for us! / REPAY”

The recreational and sports centre Copacabana, located on the left bank of the Drava River, provides opportunities for various water sports (outdoor swimming pools and a sand beach with various facilities) during the summer months. The city boasts various playgrounds for football, handball, basketball, tennis courts as well as The Indoor Swimming Pools, located next to the city’s main football team stadium, NK Osijek.
