Things to do in  Zadar

Start at Zadar’s 9th-century St. Donat’s Church, which is one of the oldest in Europe and a stunning example of pre-Romanesque architecture. Next, experience Roman ruins firsthand at the Forum, or explore vibrant modernity at The Sea Organ, a musical instrument played by the sea.

Yes, the natural beauty of Zadar—in particular its beaches with crystal blue waters—makes it a worthy city to visit. Its historical sights, including ancient Roman ruins and Renaissance monuments, add appeal, too. And then there are the gastro cafés, craft beers, and local seafood that await at every turn.

If you want a taste of all that Zadar has to offer, then two or three days is ideal to enjoy Zadar’s beauty. That way you’ll have time to enjoy the beaches and the city’s historical and cultural sites and still have one day for activities outside of town.

Zadar is a magical place. For starters, visit the Sea Organ, an amazing marvel of engineering that creates music from the crashing sea waves. Then there’s the Greeting to the Sun, a mesmerizing light installation that reacts to sunlight and creates a show on the boardwalk.

Split and Zadar in Croatia both have much to offer and which you visit depends on your interests. Split offers a laid-back atmosphere with lots of outdoor activities. Meanwhile, vibrant Zadar boasts unique architectural and culinary experiences right by the seaside.

Yes. Not only does Zadar have beaches, but it also has everything you need to enjoy a classic beach vacation. This bustling coastal city boasts several beaches with sandy shores and blue water. You’ll find both active waterfronts with plenty of activities and more laid-back sands for reclining in the sun.
