Location
About the surrounding area of Villa VasilijaPleasingly well connected to the nearby Kornati Islands, the city of Zadar combines modernity and history. Its Old Town and waterfront are the parts to see, with several landmarks worth making time for. The Roman Forum is one, found alongside the Archbishop's Palace and the Church of St Donat. The Cathedral of St Anastasia is another, providing incredible views across the region if you climb the bell tower.
Artefacts from Roman times can be seen at one of the city's more recent additions, The Museum of Ancient Glass. Found in Cosmacendi Palace, the museum enjoys lovely views over Jazine Harbour and offers glassmaking workshops. The Archaeological Museum, founded in 1832, is the second-oldest museum in Croatia and houses more than 100,000 artefacts.
Elsewhere, you can stop for a break in Vladimira Nazora Park, which sits between the Old Town and the city's modern area. The adjacent Five Wells Square is a photogenic landmark situated close to the waterfront. From here, cultural attractions, including the National Museum, the Croatian National Theatre and the impressive Cathedral of St Anastasia, are a short walk away.
It's pleasant to take a relaxed stroll around Foša Harbour, along the city walls or through People's Square – considered the centre of life in Zadar since medieval times. Also, don't miss the wonderful Sea Organ, which uses wave power to make sound, and the Sun Salutation. These intriguing art installations are the creation of Croatian architect Nikola Bašić, with the latter definitely the place to watch the sunset. If you are into such things, Zadar also hosts a Full Moon Festival on the relevant night each July.
The Kornati Islands offer plenty of opportunities for boat trips, with the lengthy Ugljan directly across the water. This mountainous isle offers beaches and beautiful areas of nature that are great for hiking and biking. The island's main centres, such as Preko, Kuklijca and Ugljan village, line the coast closest to Zadar, while the island's western side provides the rugged countryside.
There's much to stay on the mainland for, with Croatia's glorious National Parks extending in all directions. Paklenica, Krka and Plitvice Lakes demonstrate the real natural beauty of the country, all within a 45-90 minutes drive of Zadar.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe city of Zadar has lots going on that the kids will love. The town has everything from escape rooms and museums to movie theatres and puppet shows, while the wider area offers adventure parks, a donkey farm and much more.
Kolovare Beach is not far from the centre of town and makes for a nice place to hang out, with its crystal clear waters and areas of white sand and pebbles. The pretty Vladimira Nazora Park is a centrally located green oasis ideal for a picnic, or you could enjoy a drink on the café terraces of People's Square and soak up the Zadar vibe.
You can get the best views in town by climbing the bell tower at the Cathedral of St Anastasia, as it's the city's highest viewpoint. Alternatively, walk the City Walls, the oldest sections of which date back to Roman times. Younger children will also be happy to get around on the little train that rides Zadar's streets.
Two of the city's best-known attractions are ones that adults will be fascinated by as much as children. Croatian architect Nikola Bašić's Sun Salutation and Sea Organ are not the sort of things you will find just anywhere. The Sun Salutation uses solar energy to create a spectacular light show which illuminates glass panels beneath your feet, while the Sea Organ makes wave-generated sounds in stone stairs which lead down to the ocean. A short walk from the Old Town, these ingenious installations are situated conveniently close to each other and are sure to be remembered.
Venture out of Zadar, and some spectacular scenery awaits you in the Paklenica National Park. Big with climbers and hikers, this area of natural beauty has caves, gorges, forests and wildlife to spot too. You can also cycle there if you follow the designated trails. You could also arrange a tour of the stunning Modric Cave on the way to Paklenica. Suitable for children aged 12+, this is a more 'authentic' cave experience as it doesn't have the paths, lighting and such that many cave attractions do – nevertheless, visitors love it.
Other good alternatives for days out include boat trips around the Kornati Islands or a visit to the lakes and waterfalls of the wonderful Plitvice National Park – as one of the best-loved attractions in Croatia; it's one not to miss.
