Why should I visit Zadar?With its Roman ruins, art installations, and white-sand beach, Zadar is one of the most unique resorts along Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, where in-the-know travellers come to feast on seafood, watch dreamy sunsets, and sip cocktails at oceanside bars.
Prefer Roman, Byzantine or Venetian architecture? Zadar has prominent examples of each, from the Venetian tower and wells of Trg Pet Bunara to the columns of the Roman forum, which dates back to 1BC, to the impressive walls and city gates that helped make it once the largest city fortress in the Republic of Venice. Inside Zadar’s ancient walls are a bevy of great fish restaurants, with prices comparing favourably with those further down the coast.
