Overview

Crusaders sacked it. Allied bombers destroyed much of it. And every time, the people of Zadar rebuilt. Discover three thousand years of resilience on this self-guided audio walking tour of Zadar's Old Town.
Across 18 stops and roughly three kilometres, you'll explore Roman ruins, medieval churches, Venetian fortifications, and modern landmarks like the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun. Discover why Crusaders attacked a fellow Catholic city and hear the legend of the queen who stole a saint's finger.
The route includes the UNESCO-listed Venetian Walls, the Roman Forum, the Cathedral of Saint Anastasia, People's Square, and many of Zadar's hidden stories.
Walk at your own pace using the GPS-enabled map, pause whenever you like, and enjoy the tour in nine languages. Over 20,000 travellers have experienced our self-guided tours, and every purchase comes with a full refund guarantee.
