Where to spend your time

At the heart of the city lies the Old Town of Zadar, a maze of marble streets surrounded by Venetian walls and filled with Roman and medieval treasures. Don’t miss the Roman Forum, the Church of St. Donatus, and the city’s most iconic attractions — the Sea Organ and Sun Salutation — where nature and art come together in harmony.

As evening falls, the Riva promenade comes alive with street performers, lively cafés, and that famous sunset Alfred Hitchcock once called “the most beautiful in the world.”

For a touch of adventure, take a short ferry or boat trip to the Kornati Islands National Park, or visit Paklenica National Park, a haven for hikers and rock climbers. Families can enjoy gentle sailing excursions, swimming in crystal-clear coves, or discovering Zadar’s many local markets and museums.
