Experience Details

Join us on a walking tour through more than two millennia of Zadar’s uninterrupted urban existence.


Walk with our licensed tour guide through a surreal mosaic of architectural influences, guarded by the majestic Venetian walls, rightfully included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The cultural monuments stand proudly, bearing witness to Zadar’s glorious history.


Discover how a history, often hard and painful, shaped our resilient and stubborn mentality, and how it still reflects in modern-day Zadar. Immerse yourself in Zadar’s everyday lifestyle and feel like a true local.


During the tour, we’ll also visit the vibrant local market, where families from nearby islands and the hinterland sell their own fresh produce, locally grown vegetables, and daily caught fish. Depending on the season, you might even get a chance to taste some of it!


Don’t miss the chance to truly experience Zadar’s way of life — join us on our daily tours!
