Come to Osijek with visions of bronze-limbed Brazilians playing beach football and you’ll probably be disappointed. However if you’re the proud owner of a skimpy bathing costume and the weather is warm enough to wear it, then this is the place to come. Located on the northern banks of the Drava, Osijek’s modest answer to Rio’s famous beach is an open-air swimming pool (June-Sept) with water slide, surrounded by grassy lawns. Even if it’s too cold for stripping off and splashing around, you still get great views across the river towards the Tvrđa district. The entrance fee is 5kn for adults and 2kn for children.
