Zadar is a Croatian city on the Adriatic, known for its rich history and modern attractions. The old town sits on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The Roman Forum, built in the 1st century, is one of the largest on the eastern Adriatic. The Church of St Donatus, built in the 9th century, is the city's best-known symbol.
The Sea Organ, a unique installation played by the waves, is a favourite place to relax. The Greeting to the Sun, an installation that collects solar energy, creates spectacular light effects at night. Zadar is famous for its sunsets, once praised by Alfred Hitchcock.
The seaside promenade, the Riva, is lined with cafés and restaurants. Nearby are Paklenica, Krka and Kornati national parks. Zadar's cuisine offers excellent seafood and local wines. Zadar is a city that unites history, art and Mediterranean charm.
