Overview

Join us on a walking tour through more than two millennia of Zadar’s uninterrupted urban existence. Discover why the ancient Illyrians chose Zadar’s peninsula to found a city, and why so many rulers longed to make it their own after them. Romans, Franks, Byzantines, Hungarians, Venetians, Austrians, Napoleon... — each sought to claim this city for themselves in their own time.

Walk with our licensed tour guide through a surreal mosaic of architectural influences, guarded by the majestic Venetian walls, rightfully included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The cultural monuments stand proudly, bearing witness to Zadar’s glorious history.

Discover how a history, often hard and painful, shaped our resilient and stubborn mentality, and how it still reflects in modern-day Zadar. Immerse yourself in Zadar’s everyday lifestyle and feel like a true local.

Don’t miss the chance to truly experience Zadar’s way of life — join us on our daily tours!
