Itinerary

  1. A center of town in Roman times, where you'll get an introduction to the tour and the city (15 min)
  2. The most iconic monument in town, dating from the beginning of the 9th century. (10 min)
  3. The most important church in Zadar, with its bell tower providing a breathtaking view (20 min) Admission included
  4. The main street in the Old Town (10 min)
  5. A local green market - glimpse into everyday local life in the heart of the Old Town (10 min)
  6. Everything that has ever mattered in Zadar, since the Medieval period, happened or was heard of at the People's Square. It is the centre of urban life, a source that sucks you in with its energy and beauty, and then entrusts the passers-by to some other urban sensations. (20 min)
  7. While this 17th-century baroque church is pretty enough, it's what lies inside that makes it truly noteworthy. Taking pride of place above the main altar, the sarcophagus of St Simeon is a masterpiece of medieval goldsmithery. (10 min)
  8. Zadar is a proud owner of a unique blend of architecture and music, the world-famous Sea Organ, which is located right next to another modern installation, the Greeting to the Sun. The sounds that the Sea Organ produces are a result of the release of sea energy, or rather waves and tides. (10 min)
  9. Together with the wave energy that makes the Sea Organ’s sound, it produces a trippy light show from sunset to sunrise that’s meant to simulate the solar system. It also collects enough energy to power the entire harbour-front lighting system. (10 min)
