Things to do in  Zadar

Zadar nestles under Croatia’s main tourist radar, making it feel like somewhere to hang out rather than hurry around. Within the peninsula-perched Old Town, the Roman Forum and 9th-century St. Donatus Church preside over quiet marble streets, where visitors chill at seafood eateries after beach-hopping around Zadar’s archipelago, rafting the Zrmanja River, and exploring Krka National Park. The things-to-do tally also includes listening to the wave-produced panpipe music of the quayside Sea Organ installation, and admiring Zadar’s famously beautiful sunsets from the solar-illuminated Monument to the Sun.
