Osijek, Croatia

What's to love: A city of intrigue, Osijek is also an architectural delight. It is in Slavonia, a region near the border with Hungary and Serbia. The city suffered terribly from Serb shelling in the 1990s (pockmarks still scar some structures), but most of its grand buildings have been restored. A stroll through town reveals Art Nouveau mansions and fine baroque buildings amongst a bewildering jumble of architectural styles. Rumours persist that a network of tunnels pass under the city, reaching well into the countryside.
