Zadar Travel Guide

Zadar is situated on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. The city is renowned for its Roman and Venetian ruins found in the Old Town on the peninsula.

Zadar is like an open-air museum that displays some of the most stunning examples of architecture and cultural heritage along the eastern Adriatic coast. Additionally, the Zadar Region is rich in exquisite landscapes, with no less than five national parks and three nature parks located in the immediate vicinity.

The tourist region of Zadar comprises, on the one side, numerous islands and islets (inhabited as well as uninhabited ones) and, on the other, part of the coast, the region of Ravni Kotari, resembling a peninsula with the Velebit Range in its background.

The peninsula, bounded in the north by the Paklenica Gorge and in the south by the river Zrmanja, abounds in highly picturesque landscapes. Countless bays, coves and inlets provide additional scenic attractions.

It is precisely this highly indented coast, the ideal climate, variety of landscape, and particularly the heterogeneous coastline - from cliffs and rocks to pebble and sand beaches where the difference between the sea and land is almost obliterated - that attract every visitor, whatever he tastes or wishes.
