Hidden gem! The scenery is beautiful, historic, super clean, super safe, temperature is just right! Everything is walking distance, so affordable, so much to do but you can also have a chill time if you want! We were three young girls travelling alone and we felt SO safe walking around late at night! People are so friendly and accommodating, so many nice restaurants and comfortable and beautiful and affordable places to stay! So many day trips available - great location! Kornati, Plitvice lakes, island of Ugljan! Water is so clear and blue! The beach (Kolovare) is so big and despite having a lot of people on it the water and the beach itself is so clean!

I had never heard of Zadar till recently. My son and I are doing a Croatian road trip and presently in Split, but in my opinion Zadar is far far better place! There's many options for all sorts to do there, and a lot quieter than Split and cheaper! My advice, put Zadar on your to visit list, you won't regret it.

I loved walking a round the beside the old walls and along the sea and meandering along the old town streets. The archaeological museum and museum of ancient glass were both well worth a visit. The sea organ was a great experience- listening to these eerie sounds while taking in the seaside scenery at sunset. Nin is a short drive away and worth an hour or so. If you like ruins it is also worth going to Vir and visiting the ruined seaside castle there. And finally, it is a must to go to Peklanica national park one day. It is superb.

Old Zadar is a beautiful place full of sights. The sea organ is a rarity. Night walks through the back streets of Zadar were great. The local market was great, I like local ingredients and the fishmongery offered everything one likes and always likes to taste. I recommend visiting the Piat bistro on Stomorica street.

The city is very interesting and small enough to walk the whole length from the raised fort gardens right through to the sea organ which was amazing, and be sure and stay for the sunset !! The restaurants were mostly decent but a few had very old menus/reviews in Trip Advisor - 2018 and either had changed or were closed. Some were too touristy and over priced... updating the websites would help also. We stayed in Diklo and the bus at night was a bit ' hit and miss'... time wise - there are some nice places to eat towards Borik. Although they say every place takes cards, many bars, small cafes do not, so you HAVE to get Kuna ! TIP* the 'news stand' kiosks sell 2 bus tickets locally for 16 kuna not the 20 (10/10) on the bus and for the next day! save 8 kuna and buy a beer!

The city center is great,S.Donat,Široka ulica and all places in the old city!Also BORIK beach in the near easy to reach by city bus.And some beautifful island trips by boat!Higly recomended!Kornati islands and Dugin otok.
