Why Zadar matters
Zadar sits on a small peninsula and mixes ancient forum stones, medieval churches and modern waterfront art. The famous sea organ lets the waves play music under the promenade, and the sunset here has been praised by many travellers. The old town is compact and easy on foot, with fewer crowds than Dubrovnik or Split. It also makes a good base for national parks, islands and boat trips.
Talking points
- The sea organ turns wave movement into a soft, constant sound.
- Roman forum ruins sit right next to a round medieval church.
- It is a handy base for Krka, Paklenica and the Kornati islands.
