Highlights of Zadar

Discover one of the Adriatic’s most interesting cities, where the old fashion way of living and new modern life, coexist in perfect harmony. Follow your guide through the picturesque streets of Zadar’s historic center and see its treasures.

The Zadar area was first settled in the Neolithic period and since then, it has succumbed to numerous invasions from different civilizations. They have all left architectural traces of different periods and styles, which has resulted in an eclectic mix of architectural treasures. Cafés, bars, museums and churches have been restored and you can now take advantage of what this lovely city offers.

Your walking tour begins in the heart of the magnificent Old Town and includes a visit to the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, the finest example of Romanesque architecture in Zadar. Along the way you'll pass the Church of St. Donatus, believed to have been built by Bishop Donatus on Roman foundations at the beginning of the 9th century. See St. Mary’s Church with a Romanesque bell-tower built at the beginning of the 12th century by the Hungarian – Croatian King Koloman. You’ll see many treasures along the way. Enjoy some free time to further explore on your own, do some shopping or sip a coffee or glass of wine at a café.
