Dalmatias Historical Heart
Tucked away on the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by small archipelago, Zadar is sprinkled with Romanesque architecture, medieval churches and protected by 16th century fortifications and high walls.
As the waves crash along the shores, the sea organ will play its harmonic sounds and welcome you to Zadar’s lively and charming Old Town, located across from the mainland. It is lined with marble walkways, landmarks, fascinating museums, and priceless archives.
It is home to the National Museum, Five Wells Square, the 14th-century University of Zadar, and the Roman Forum which features the 9th-century St Donatus' Church and 12th-century St. Mary's Church.
Stroll along the pretty tree-lined promenades and enjoy a meal in the several cafés, restaurants and bars which line Zadar's streets. Visit the popular Peoples Square in the district Narodni trg and shop in the Mercator Centar or City Galleria.
Booking.com has places to stay in Zadar and across the coastline in cities such as Bibinje, Petrcane and Sukošan. Zadar Airport links the city to several European destinations.

Old Zadar is a lovely ancient walled city packed with not only history but good restaurants, relaxing squares to enjoy a coffe or a drink, shops, friendly people and of course gorgeous views. Loved it! Bon Appetit was our favorite restaurant. The sea organ and light installation after dark was amazing

Some lovely buildings and restaurants with a very relaxed feel. The Old town is small which makes getting around very easy. Lots of opportunities to explore the wider area too. We visited Plitvice national park which had some stunning waterfalls and was a real highlight.

There was really nothing to complain about. The host helped us with directions and finding great places to eat. And the ride back to the bus was way above what you would expect to get. The city is very safe and walkable and clean pedestrian streets.

Zadar is easy to walk around.
Zadar is easy to walk around. Everything for tourists is in the old town and you can walk from one end of it to the other in 20 minutes. However, this means you don't really need to spend more than a couple of days here. It's a good launching point for day trips around the area, but flights are a bit easier from Zagreb.

We loved that there are a lot of options for day trips from Zadar. It is a pretty city that serves as a great base for exploring the region. We were able to visit three national parks (Krka, Paklenica, and Kornati) in seven days and if the weather held maybe we could have visited one more. The food was good but not exceptionally varied so we recommend to get an accommodation with a kitchen.

Zadar is an interesting mix of old and new.
Zadar is an interesting mix of old and new. It was heavily bombed during World War II and in the 1990s so a number of older buildings were lost. But, there is still plenty to see including the remains of a Roman forum, a beautiful old cathedral, and some lovely Romanesque buildings.
If you go, definitely visit the Museum of Antique Glass and the Archaeological Museum. Both have good displays and the glass museum has glass from the first and second century A.D. The Sea Organ and light display were also unique.
Being there in October was good because the town was not overrun with tourists. We heard that it gets very overcrowded, especially in July and August.
“The location is great - it is just off the main shopping street of the old town in zadar!
The apartment was very clean, modern, comfortable.
Staff were helpful and easy to contact if we had any questions. ”
“The location of the place was perfect to explore the old town of Zadar. For a family of two with one kid it's an apt apartment. It's on the 3rd floor with no lift. But two heavy bags should not be an issue except for elders with climbing issue. The kitchen is sufficient, it has TV and sofa bed. It has air conditioner in livin room and no fan in bed room. Hence, go for it for its location being premium.”
“Huge apartment.
Just tucked away from main Zadar town.
Owners/staff were friendly and very helpful.
All facilities we could need, eg kitchen essentials and bathroom toiletries.
Nice restaurants just short walk away. Still easy to get into Zadar old town.”
“Comfortable and well sound-insulated
Perfect location for main sights of Zadar old town
Friendly, efficient and helpful staff
Nice breakfast at affiliated Tinel Restaurant”
“Right next to everything you want to see in old town Zadar. Very lovely apartment and clean! Marijana was very hospitable and wonderful! Will definitely recommend this place to others and would love to stay again!”
“This hotel is a short walk from the city center and sits along a beautiful walkway along the water. I wish we had been able to stay longer and see more of the area. I would definitely stay here again if I came back.”
“we arrived in the evening for one nigh ,excellent and very friendly staff very helpful, they gave us city map and explain to us places to see, large parking, high quality breakfast”
