What to visit
The Roman forum and St. Donatus's church anchor the old town, with the sea organ and "Greeting to the Sun" installation nearby on the waterfront — worth timing for sunset. Zadar's old town is compact enough to see on foot once parked.

Destination guide
Zadar's old town peninsula holds Roman ruins alongside a modern sea organ that turns waves into sound, and the city works as a practical base for the Kornati Islands and Krka National Park by car, without Split's summer crowds.
Route ideas by car
Krka National Park's waterfalls are under an hour inland, while Nin's salt pans and beach, closer to the city, make an easy shorter trip.
Local rental tips
Zadar's old town is largely pedestrian, so park at the edges near the harbor rather than trying to drive into the peninsula itself.
