Zadar Port Ferry Overview
Zadar is a Croatian city located between Rijeka and Split, not far away from Sibenik. It is a few thousand years old town and it was the capital of Dalmatia for many centuries. The Zadar peninsula still preserves very old network of narrow and charming city streets, as well as a Roman forum dating back to the first century AD. Zadar is the fifth largest city in Croatia and the second largest in Dalmatia.
Zadar has changed beyond recognition in the last ten years, transforming itself from a forgotten Mediterranean backwater into a swanky city-break destination bursting with fine sights. Latest of the city’s attention-grabbing attractions is the Museum of Ancient Glass (Muzej antičkog stakla), a state-of-the-art archeological display that opened its doors in May 2009. On warm evenings, everybody is outside. Sitting on benches and promenading the street (the Italian Corzo) are habits that still linger. Zadar's nightlife is neither sceney nor divided into old and young, so in most places you'll find an unpretentious mix of people.
Zadar Ferry Port is located towards the centre of the city meaning many of the centre's attractions are located within walking distance. |
