Morske Orgulje (Sea Organ)

Reviewed By EmmelineOoi

The sea organ is truly amazing. We enjoyed the music which is actually by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath the large marble steps. We sat on the steps listening to the music while waiting for sunset. It is very relaxing to enjoy the sea and at the same time listening to the music.
A must visit if you are at Zadar.

The Church of the Holy Cross

Reviewed By MiMut

This church is not just the one of the most important cratian buildings, but one of the most fascinating sun temples.
Crimoatia should invest and maje this church againg functional, decorated, protected from tourists and remove birds away.
There should be an entrance fee and sime mrketing efforts to promote the church, itssun effects, cratian mediaval state and the later history of Nin.
It is not adequate to bring all the TV material for a show to be produced there and to have spare material stored by the walls of this little wonder.
2 points aregiven forthe peoplecaribg about it, church itself deserves 10 stars!

Archaeological Museum Zadar

Reviewed By travelway - Nashville

The displays are pretty static and require a lot of just standing and Reading descriptions. In many areas the lighting was nominal. And many of the objects were repetitive. Having said that, the history covered was extensive and gave insight into this amazing country and its varied past.

Paseo Maritimo

Reviewed By Sarah D

Really lovely wide sea front boulevard which allows for a pleasant stroll day or night along the sea front. Some statues and places to swim are dotted along the Promenade and often buskers or market stalls line the walk.

Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusion in Zadar brings you a space suitable both for social and entertaining tours into the world of illusions which has delighted all generations. It's a perfect place for new experiences and fun with friends and family and it's unique in this part of Europe. Not only is it a place for children who adore coming, but also a place for parents, couples, grandmothers and grandfathers.

A lovely little place. It should probably be called a gallery instead of a museum because of the size and the way it is laid out. Anyway it was fun and interesting. Customer service was average with nice lady on the desk. The actual Exhibitions...MoreThank you very much for visiting and leaving us a nice review :)

Narodni trg u Zadru

Reviewed By peter h - Swindon, United Kingdom

It proved quite a challenge to find this at first but it was worth searching for. Good place to sit down and people watch whilst resting the legs and taking some refreshments.Gets very busy and in peak season it must be jam packed with tourists.
Worth visiting at night when it is nicely illuminated, lesss crowded and cooler

Loved walking about the old city, viewing the ruins, the sea organ and the greeting to the sun with a stop for coffee at an outdoor cafe. A very comfortable walking city.

Il Saluto al Sole

Reviewed By nesta_brown - Sheffield, United Kingdom

This is beside the sea organ and if you have watched the sun go down then you must wait here because as the light fades the Greeting to the Sun comes to life! The darker it gets, the more active it becomes so that it resembles a glass disco floor!

The Greeting to the Sun

Reviewed By ksufan88 - Wichita, Kansas

The same artist that made the neighboring Sea Organ also created the solar panels that bring this section of seaside sidewalk to life after dark. There are solar panels that store the energy during the day and then at night the panels display varying colors in varying patterns that are linked to the musical notes played by the neighboring Sea Organ. In addition to this giant “sun”, there are also circlurar solar panels that represent each of the planets of our solar system.
