An enchanting experience whilst visiting Zadar was to listen to the natural music at the sea organ on the promenade and then watch the science light show after sunset, a lovely end to a perfect visit to this ancient city.

This is a lovely, relaxing walk around the edge of the city. You have rhe sea viwes on one side and the city on the other. Then if you continue around the end you walk on top of the old city wall overlooking the harbour area. From either end of the walk it is easy to cut into the city centre. We did it in the middle of the day so did not experience the sunset. An excellent stroll.

The church is very plain compared to a lot of others. Entrance fee is about 3 € and its worth to see on the way up inclouding the big bell. I would recommend and will visit again next time.

We got here early, sunset for us was 8.24pm so we arrived here for 7.00pm as it does get very very busy and we managed to find an excellent spot for the sunset. The lights were wonderful, we got some excellent videos and photos together and individually, it definitely worth a visit as you can see the whole town literally visit for this landmark as it is beautiful, you cannot miss this if you are in Zadar. We got here straight after sun set so lights started getting better throughout, but be warned as soon as sunset happens restaurant's become very busy as everyone is waiting for sunset before food, so make sure on what you want to do.

A great central place amidst the cafes, restaurants, bars, stalls and stores to see Roman remains amidst the tourist hubbub. Will send you online to read more about it or even visit the Archaeological Museum opposite.
