Vukovar is situated in the northeast of Croatia and it is the centre of Vukovar-Srijem County. Positioned on the border of historical provinces of Eastern Slavonia and Western Srijem, the town lies on important transportation routes. Since time immemorial, traffic from the northwest to the southeast has moved through the Vukovar area and the Danube valley. With the introduction of steamboats mid-19th century and tourist vessels nowadays, Vukovar is connected with Budapest and Vienna upstream and all the way to Romania downstream. The port of Vukovar, the biggest river port in Croatia, is an important import and export station. The Danube has always connected Vukovar’s residents with Europe and the world and it continues to do so today.
