Zadar: History and Coastal Views
After breakfast, meet your local guide for a walking tour of Zadar’s historic streets. The city’s architecture reflects centuries of change, from Roman ruins to Venetian buildings along the Adriatic coast. Stroll through the old town and take in details of the stonework and streetscapes that tell the story of Zadar’s past. Visit the Museum of Ancient Glass, where skilled artisans demonstrate traditional glassblowing techniques and create replicas of historical pieces. The workshop offers an up-close view of a craft that has been practiced in the region for generations. After the museum, enjoy some free time along the waterfront. You can hear the Sea Organ, an instrument played by the movement of the waves, and see the "Greetings to the Sun" installation, a circle of glass panels that captures sunlight and produces patterns in the evening. As the sun sets over the Adriatic, take a moment to enjoy the changing colors across the water. The combination of history, local craft, and coastal views makes for a calm and memorable day in Zadar, with opportunities to relax at your own pace along the city’s shores.
