Enjoy the enchanting sounds of the Sea Organ, a unique instrument powered by the waves of the sea, and watch the mesmerizing light show of the Greeting to the Sun that draws visitors from around the world.

Delve into the delights of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its maze of narrow cobblestone streets, Roman ruins and medieval churches before sampling local delicacies, such as octopus salad, Pag cheese and exquisite Croatian wines at sunset.

Things To Do
Melodies Of The Sea

Marvel at Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun ! This art installation designed by Nikola Bašic at a glance is more like steps descending towards the ocean, but it is meant to resemble a musical instrument! Feel the harmonica effect created by the passing waves through the hollow tubes installed beneath the marble steps. Be like the locals and enjoy sunbathing on the steps while playing in the shallow waters!

Mind-Bending Marvels...

Prepare to have your mind blown at the Museum of Illusions in Zadar! This interactive wonderland is a friendly invitation to explore the magic and mystery of optical illusions. From mind-bending exhibits that challenge your perception to quirky photo ops that'll leave you laughing, it's a place where reality takes a delightful twist. Get ready to dance with mirror images, defy gravity and even shrink or grow in size. Bring your family and friends for a day filled with laughter and amazement as you uncover the secrets behind the tricks and create memories that'll keep you smiling long after you leave.

Sail To Sali

Take a boat tour to Sali, the greatest archipelago in Zadar! Aside from swimming in the salty lake and observing the marine life at Telaica Nature Park, you can indulge in outdoor activities including fishing, cycling, climbing and scuba diving. While beach bums can sunbathe on the white pebbles of the secluded Saharun Beach, adventure lovers can hike along the marked trails and be rewarded with spectacular vantage points.

Where Artifacts Tell Tales...

Saunter through various galleries of the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Ancient Glass. We recommend starting from the prehistoric era's ceramics and weapons to the Middle Ages' exquisitely carved stone panels and odd local gravestones. Make sure you check out the model of the Forum from Roman and Liburnian times!

Try Something Unique!

Soak in the view of Zadar while gazing at the historical landmarks of the city as you hop onto one of the rowboats that have been ferrying passengers from the old town of Zadar to the rest of the city. The boatmen, traditionally called barkajoli, have been part of this trade for generations! Listen out for the entertaining stories as you sail.
