Zadar in 2 days: the perfect itinerary

Two days is enough to fall for Zadar — a day for the old town and its famous sunset, a day for the islands or waterfalls on the doorstep.

Day 1 — the old town

Wander the marble lanes of the peninsula: the Roman Forum, the round 9th-century St Donatus, and the long Kalelarga street. Climb the cathedral bell tower, then time the evening for the waterfront, where the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun turn sunset into a show. See our museums of Zadar guide.

Day 2 — a day trip

Pick one: the waterfalls of Krka, a boat trip to the otherworldly Kornati islands, or the beaches of the Zadar Riviera and Dugi Otok.
