===Tourism, sights and attractions=== [[File:Hotel Osijek 1.jpg|thumb|upright|Hotel Osijek]] Osijek remains a popular domestic tourist destination for its [[Baroque]] style, open spaces and ample recreational opportunities. The most important sights in the city include the main square, [[Ante Starčević Square]], [[Tvrđa]] the 18th century Baroque citadel, the promenade along the Drava ("promenada"), and the suspension [[Pedestrian bridge (Osijek)|pedestrian bridge]] toward [[Baranja region|Baranja]].{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The Municipal Park of [[List of rulers of Croatia|King]] [[Petar Krešimir IV of Croatia|Petar Krešimir IV]] and the [[King Tomislav|Tomislav]] Park date from the beginning of the 20th century, and are protected national landmarks. Osijek is also home to one of the few Croatian zoological gardens, along the Drava river. The city is home to a monument to Ante Starčević.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.osijek.hr/nastavak.aspx?id=8339 |title=Osječani rekli "Da" spomeniku Ocu Domovine – na glavnom trgu otkriven spomenik dr.

The tower measures {{convert|90|m|2|abbr=on}} and can be seen from throughout Osijek. Because of its size most locals refer to it as the cathedral but it is only a parish church. The Church of St Peter and St Paul was designed by [[Franz Langenberg]] and contains 40 stained glass windows, although they are not all intact after the bombing in the 1990s. The church also contains sculptures by Eduard Hauser.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} {{wide image|OS-Most-na-dravi.jpg|900px|align-cap=center|A panoramic view of the pedestrian bridge over the [[Drava]]}}
