Zadar

This town dates back to the 7^th Century so you can be sure that it is bursting with ancient relics and architecture such as the Roman Forum, the Church of St. Donatus and you can also find remains of a Roman aqueduct. If you seek cultural enlightenment then you can also visit some of Zadar’s most popular museums including the National Museum, the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Ancient Glass. Explore the old town, but do not forget to check out the Sun Salutation, created by local architect Nikola Bašić. Collecting energy from the sun during the day, it allows visitors to enjoy a light show that is supposed to simulate the solar system. Have a seat by the Sea Organs and enjoy an ice cream, watching the boats pass as you listen to the soothing sounds of the hypnotic tones produced by the sea’s waves. Whatever you do, don’t miss a Zadar sunset, said to be the best in the world by Alfred Hitchcock.
