Osijek has been inhabited since the Roman times and all its inhabitants used to build bridges over the river Drava. The Romans had built a stone bridge and a solid road through the marshes of Baranja. The Turks built the famous wooden 8 kilometres long Suleiman Bridge. Did you know that 25,000 workers built it in just 17 days! In the Europe of the time it was considered to be the eighth wonder of the world. There are several bridges over Drava today and the most beautiful is the pedestrian Suspension bridge. It gives you the best view of the town and the surrounding area, and when you cross it you arrive at the Osijek’s Copacabana beach. Don’t you know it? It is a famous beach and a sandy one, too! There is a lot to do there!
