1. Paklenica National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 640 reviews
Due to its unique natural features, magnificent Forests and extraordinary geomorphologic structures, the area of Velika and Mala Paklenica was proclaimed a national park in 1949. The main reason for proclaiming this area a national park was the protection of the largest and best preserved forest complex in the territory of Dalmatia, which was threatened by overexploitation. The Paklenica National Park stretches on the area of 95 km2 , on the littoral slope of South Velebit under the zone of highest mountain peaks Vaganski vrh (1752) and Sveto brdo (1753).

2. Morske Orgulje (Sea Organ)

The sea organ is truly amazing. We enjoyed the music which is actually by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath the large marble steps. We sat on the steps listening to the music while waiting for sunset. It is very relaxing to enjoy the sea and at the same time listening to the music.
A must visit if you are at Zadar.

The displays are pretty static and require a lot of just standing and Reading descriptions. In many areas the lighting was nominal. And many of the objects were repetitive. Having said that, the history covered was extensive and gave insight into this amazing country and its varied past.

Really lovely wide sea front boulevard which allows for a pleasant stroll day or night along the sea front. Some statues and places to swim are dotted along the Promenade and often buskers or market stalls line the walk.
5. Spiaggia di Rucica

Reviewed By Mateo Z
It is located just at the mouth of the bay of Pag. The temperature of the sea is little bit warmer than sea on the south part of the island. If you really like to experience something special, go through the rocks to left side of the beach (15-20 min), and you will find lonely beach with absolutly clear water...
During II. World War close to this beach was located concentrating camp... still you can find there some remains...
6. Telascica Nature Park

Why hadn’t I heard before about this park? You really need to go there! I took a day trip from Pakostane but probably it is also easy to reach from Biograd na Moru or Zadar. The cliffs are breathtaking and my favourite part was the salt lake, where you can float while small crabs will eat your dead skin. It is not so popular YET so you can go there in the high season and still be not bothered by masses of tourists. It would only be more helpful if there were signs indicating where each thing is. Plus, you need to come with good shoes because there are no paths but only rocks, so coming with flip flops might be slippery. You can easily spend 2-3 hours there. :)
7. Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusion in Zadar brings you a space suitable both for social and entertaining tours into the world of illusions which has delighted all generations. It's a perfect place for new experiences and fun with friends and family and it's unique in this part of Europe. Not only is it a place for children who adore coming, but also a place for parents, couples, grandmothers and grandfathers.

A lovely little place. It should probably be called a gallery instead of a museum because of the size and the way it is laid out. Anyway it was fun and interesting. Customer service was average with nice lady on the desk. The actual Exhibitions...MoreThank you very much for visiting and leaving us a nice review :)

It proved quite a challenge to find this at first but it was worth searching for. Good place to sit down and people watch whilst resting the legs and taking some refreshments.Gets very busy and in peak season it must be jam packed with tourists.
Worth visiting at night when it is nicely illuminated, lesss crowded and cooler

Loved walking about the old city, viewing the ruins, the sea organ and the greeting to the sun with a stop for coffee at an outdoor cafe. A very comfortable walking city.

Reviewed By nesta_brown - Sheffield, United Kingdom
This is beside the sea organ and if you have watched the sun go down then you must wait here because as the light fades the Greeting to the Sun comes to life! The darker it gets, the more active it becomes so that it resembles a glass disco floor!
