Nearby, the Sun Salutation captures daylight and creates a mesmerising light show after sunset. Roman ruins stand alongside medieval churches in this ancient walled city, where history feels casually abundant. The Cathedral of St. Anastasia towers over narrow limestone streets that open suddenly into sunny squares.

The Times didn't call this the "entertainment centre of the Adriatic" for nothing.

Heritage hotel Bastion

10/10 Excellent

"Best boutique hotel in old town Zadar"

Hotel Mediteran

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with very nice pool area. The room we had was very comfortable with a balcony overlooking the pool. All the staff were super friendly. Plenty of decent sized parking spaces. Breakfast was superb. Great location only a short walk to the nearest beach. It’s a distance from the old town, however, walking the most direct route took about 45 minutes, or less than an hour via the scenic sea front."

Hotel Donat All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was quite. Just a waren up at 2.30 missed and on asking why, I was told that the receptionist rang the room number. But no sound was heard and anyway, one should wait until the person answers. Or go to the room. Also last minute on leaving I was told to pay the local tax, which one could have done on arrival or when visiting the reception. The prebooked lunchpaket was forgotten to be handed over early morning. Everything else was excellent."

Falkensteiner Premium Mobile Homes and Camping Zadar

8/10 Good

"Microwave did not work in cabin. Housekeeping took all dirty towels on 3rd day as we were told but when we returned late that evening we found they only gave us several new towels & it was not enough for the 5 of us in reservation yo shower. Went to front desk to get towels & was told he could not get them to us til the following day. SUPER over priced to wash & dry laundry in tiny washer/dryers. "

Teatro Verdi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of our new favorite hotels in the whole world: Very clean, comfortable, great bed, quiet & located in the heart of old town -- easy walking to everywhere. Parking was right there and secure. Staff, including Marino, were genuinely helpful. Fabulous pastries, snacks and breakfast. We wish all hotels we stayed out were this wonderful, and we are kind of picky. A very good value for the money, too. "

Falkensteiner Club Funimation Borik

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very well run hotel with an amazing kids club with lots of children to do throughout the day. Going over Easter weekend we were particularly lucky with the activities as well including a mini petting zoo. The indoor pool was heated and was also extended outdoors, which was great for a swim in early season. The All Inclusive package was great, with plenty of variety of drinks and choice at the buffet, and all the food was delicious. The family rooms were also very spacious."

Demar Residence

10/10 Excellent

"This place has the feel almost of a motel, though it's in a neighborhood and isn't very big. Nice and quiet, though not convenient for getting to much. The parking was free (rare in our Croatian traveling) and easy to access. Check in and out were both quick and easy. The room was clean, spacious, and well maintained, and someone cleaned even though we were only there two nights. The swimming pool looked nice enough, though we did not use it."
