Zadar is an excellent example of an extremely well-preserved old town core. Apart from small, picturesque streets that cross the main street of the Peninsula (Poluotok), Kalelarga, you can find numerous pre-Romanesque churches, museums, and remains of Roman buildings. After sightseeing, relax in one of the many Zadar coffee shops and talk to some of the locals if you\u2019re in the mood. Zadar residents above all love small talk under the sun with a cup of coffee!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Sea Organ is Zadar\u2019s true architectural wonder. It was designed by the architect Nikola Basic, and it is special for turning the strength of the sea into music. It is found in Zadar\u2019s old town, the Peninsula, on the very end of the sea walkway Riva. Take a seat and listen to the sound of the sea, breathe in fresh sea air, and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world from the best location on the Peninsula for it!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

According to archeological findings, the area of Duke\u2019s Palace has been settled since the Roman times. Since then, the palace has been renovated several times, and after Second World War it enriched the city of Zadar\u2019s cultural center just like it does today, five years after its last renovation. It houses a concert hall named after one of Croatia\u2019s greatest composers, Blagoje Bersa, and exhibition spaces where you can always find interesting exhibitions going on.<\/p>\n

Although somewhat dislocated, the Zadar Sphinx, a dash of Egypt in a Dalmatian city, is certainly worth seeing and, if possible, touch \u2013 it\u2019s said to bring good luck in love! It was built by a famous Zadar artist and conservator Giovanni Smirich in honor of his late wife. The sphinx is in the Brodarica neighbourhood, in Villa Attilia\u2019s somewhat neglected garden. There are plans to renovate this important monument to love and culture, which will, we believe, fit perfectly in a romantic city like Zadar!<\/p>\n

On just a fifteen-minute drive from Zadar is hidden the beautiful, royal city of Nin. This city has a lot to offer, although it\u2019s much smaller than Zadar. The beautiful architecture of its city core, the museums, the statue of Gregory of Nin whose big toe you must touch (according to a legend, it brings good luck), the mesmerizing sandy beaches. The most famous of the latter being the Queen\u2019s Beach offering a fantastic view of Mount Velebit. It\u2019s named after the wife of Croatia\u2019s king Tomislav who used to come there to relax from her stressful life at court. Apart from all this, Nin was proclaimed one of Europe\u2019s most romantic destinations, and it is especially worth visiting during the summer when numerous romantic events are being held there!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
