Zadar

Zadar is the urban centre of northern Dalmatia, situated just at the heart of the Adriatic sea. Often shadowed by more famous destinations along the Croatian coast, it's a city of exceptional history with a modern and welcoming attitude.
In the peninsular Old Town traces of the past are still visible in the streets layout and in the Mediterranean architectures and Roman ruins popping up among cosy cafes and traditional eateries
Zadar is also an ideal departure point to discover the beautiful surroundings.

Do & See

A blending of ancient time, colonial past and modern days animate the street of Zadar. Roman ruins, medieval churches and traces of the Venetian dominion are just few steps away from modern installations celebrating the most acclaimed sunsets of the city. Top quality museums and lively squares complete the offer of this characteristic Dalmatian town.

Dining

The culinary offer of Zadar may not be particularly international, but almost all of the many Mediterranean and seafood restaurants that visitors encounter along the cobbled streets of the city premise their cuisine on fresh, local ingredients and traditional dishes.
