One of Croatia’s most ancient cities, Zadar charms travelers with its unique cultural heritage, spectacular sunsets and vibrant nightlife scene. Its walled Old Town occupies a tiny peninsula ringed by a beautiful waterfront promenade. Inside the Venetian-era fortifications you’ll find a medieval labyrinth of narrow streets centered around a fascinating architectural legacy: a Roman Forum, a Byzantine-style church and a 12th century Romanesque cathedral. A pedestrian bridge links the Old Town to the mainland, but you can still journey between the 16th century sea gate and the marina via rowboat. At the end of the day, enjoy a relaxing drink in the atmospheric Old Town, or head to a waterfront restaurant to watch the sun slowly set. Zadar is said to enjoy one of the best sunsets in the world.
