Escapada romántica a Zadar: Momentos para dos
Crea recuerdos inolvidables con tu pareja en Zadar, el destino romántico por excelencia.
Zadar is a historical gem and the gateway to northern Dalmatia, a city that seamlessly combines its immense 3,000-year-old heritage with bold modern creativity. Its old town, situated on a compact peninsula, is a treasure trove of Roman ruins, medieval churches and elegant Venetian walls. But what makes Zadar unique is its seafront, where contemporary art meets nature to create the Sea Organ, which plays music with the waves, and the Greeting to the Sun, which creates a light show at dusk. With fewer crowds than Split or Dubrovnik and a relaxed atmosphere, Zadar offers a more authentic and surprisingly poetic Dalmatian experience.

Viewpoints and charming corners
Salutation to the Sun (Pozdrav Suncu)
Next to the Sea Organ, it is a large 22-meter circle of glass panels that absorb solar energy during the day and release it at night in a spectacular play of colored lights.
Saint Anastasia Cathedral
The largest cathedral in Dalmatia, a beautiful Romanesque style basilica. You can climb its bell tower to get the best views of the old town and the Forum.
Day Trips
Kornati Islands National Park
A boat excursion to an impressive archipelago of more than 100 islands and islets, mostly uninhabited. A lunar landscape of rocks, cliffs and crystal clear waters.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
One of the natural wonders of Europe. A system of 16 lakes interconnected by a series of spectacular waterfalls. A long but absolutely unforgettable day trip.
Krka National Park
Similar to Plitvice but smaller and closer. Famous for its waterfalls where (in certain areas and times) bathing is allowed.
Pag Island
Connected by a bridge, it is famous for its lunar landscape, its award-winning sheep's cheese ('paški sir') and the beach of Zrće, Croatia's party capital.
Dugi Otok Island
A long, quiet island with impressive cliffs, the Telašćica Nature Park and the beautiful Sakarun beach, with white sand and Caribbean waters.

Climb the bell tower of the Cathedral
It offers the best panoramic view of the old town, the Roman Forum and the islands. It is the perfect way to understand the geography of the peninsula.
Look for bars in hidden patios
Get away from the main streets of the old town and into the alleys. You'll find charming bars hidden in medieval courtyards, such as the 'Garden Lounge'.
Sunset is an event
Do like the locals and go to the boardwalk an hour before sunset. Sit on the steps of the Sea Organ, listen to the music of the waves and wait for the Sun Salutation to come to life. It's a daily ritual.
tap water
The tap water is drinkable and of excellent quality.
