OVERVIEW

View landmarks that showcase contemporary Zadar and ancient life when Romans and Venetians ruled the city. The Sea Organ may well be the quirkiest, most unexpected modern attraction. It is a lengthy set of marble steps that lead into the water and play discordant melodies as seawater rushes through underground pipes fitted with whistles. The sound is particularly resonant at high tide. The pedestrian-only Old Town is more like a living museum as it contains architectural treasures such as the ruins of a Roman forum and Saint Donat church, which was constructed during the 9th century with stones from the dismantled forum. Most everywhere you turn, there will be historical churches, leafy piazzas and fortifications such as the harbor-facing defensive walls that the Venetians built. Free time in Old Town will allow you to discover even more about Zadar’s past. Or as an alternate, you could simply shop and dine.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Hear the Sea Organ play music as seawater rushes through its underground pipes.
• Enjoy a guided walking tour through Zadar and then stroll its atmospheric Old Town at your leisure.
