Zadar packs a Roman forum, the circular ninth-century church of St Donatus and a famous seafront sunset onto one compact peninsula, with islands a short sail away. On this page, 45 bookable tours across 9 categories sit side by side: free walks, sea kayaking, boat trips, food tours and full-day runs to Plitvice and Krka, so the whole itinerary can be planned in one place.
Ratings, review counts, durations and from-prices on this page are drawn directly from the live booking pages for each tour listed.
Begin on the peninsula. A 90-minute guided walk from $13, one version rated 4.88 across 923 reviews, threads the forum, the Kalelarga and St Donatus before releasing you toward the harbor. Spend the afternoon at the water's edge, where the Sea Organ sounds and the Greeting to the Sun circle sits free and open all day.

Aeleen C., Verified traveller review of 3-Hour Local Dishes Tour
Verified traveller reviews, reproduced word for word including the reviewer's own wording.
Three tip-based walks cover the old town: reserve a place free, pay nothing up front, then hand the guide whatever the walk deserved. The busiest carries a 4.85 rating from 1587 reviews over 90 minutes; a 2.5-hour alternative rated 4.72 digs further into the city's layered history. The Greeting to the Sun installation and the Sea Organ charge nothing and never close, so the seafront sunset costs exactly zero.
A wet day rarely stops play. At the Museum of Ancient Glass, adults pay 7.00 EUR, groups of five or more and schoolchildren pay less, and preschoolers enter free, which makes a rainy morning among Roman glasswork surprisingly affordable. The Archaeological Museum and St Donatus stand a few streets away, and children under ten walk in without a ticket. Hold the Sea Organ for when the sky clears.
The old town does much of the entertaining for free, since the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun need no booking and no payment. Adults pay 7.00 EUR at the Museum of Ancient Glass, schoolchildren less, preschoolers nothing, and children under ten enter the Archaeological Museum and St Donatus free. On the water, boat trips from $20 per person and a 75-minute kayak tour from $34 suit shorter attention spans far better than a 10-hour park run.
Night here belongs to the waterfront. Waves push air through the Sea Organ's steps, and beside it the Greeting to the Sun installation glows after dark; both are free and never closed, no ticket needed. Arrive before the sun drops, because the west-facing quayside fills fast. For something structured, a two-hour food and drink tour from $62 mixes tastings with an old town stroll.
Few Croatian coastal cities sit this close to both the national parks and the Kornati archipelago, and local operators make the most of it. Plitvice Lakes trips take about 10 hours, from $84 for the top-rated listing (4.9 across 4351 reviews) down to $50 versions with transfers included. Krka tours start at $45. Kornati and Telascica full-day sailings run 9 hours at $40 to $90, while an 8-hour kayak expedition rated 4.9 starts at $95.

from $69The from-price covers the boat trip per person. Check availability →The peninsula is small enough that transport rarely matters. Everything from the Roman forum to the Sea Organ sits within an easy stroll, and guided walks cover the lot in 90 minutes to 2.5 hours, from $13. Six walking tours and three free, tip-based walks are listed here, rated between 4.7 and 5, with even the longest staying inside the old streets. Flat shoes help on the stone.
A car is optional. Plitvice Lakes day trips last around ten hours from $84 per person with travel arranged, and Krka versions start at $45, so the mainland parks open up without driving yourself. Kornati and Telascica boats leave from the waterfront for full days afloat from $40. Closer in, buses and taxis link the peninsula with the newer districts, and the airport transfer is brief.
Zadar sits on a peninsula in the Adriatic, and swimming is a normal part of a summer visit. This page sets out where the city's beaches are, when the water is warm, and the rules reported for 2026.
Zadar, a coastal city in Dalmatia on the Adriatic, is served by its own airport at Zemunik, about 8 km from the city. Here is what the airport's own pages say about getting in and out.
Zadar Airport sits at Zemunik, about 8 km from the city by the airport's own wording, and the run into the Old Town is short, cheap and well served: here is every option with its verified price and time.
The road distance from Split to Zadar is 158 km on the coastal route, and the practical options come down to car, intercity bus or a flight into Zadar Airport, as passenger trains do not currently run to Zadar.
The Zadar Sea Organ is a free architectural sound installation on the Croatian city's Riva waterfront, built by architect Nikola Bašić and opened in 2005, that converts the motion of Adriatic waves into low musical tones through a system of pipes hidden under the marble steps.
Zadar Airport is close enough that the transfer rarely shapes the day: the airport's own page puts it about 8 km from the city, and road routing from the Old Town measures about 13 km and 22 minutes of free-flow driving.
Two days cover Zadar's Old Town and the Riva; three to five days let you add the national parks and islands that start from this Dalmatian coastal city. Here is how to match days to what you actually want to see.
No officially published taxi fare for the run between Zadar Airport and the Old Town could be verified, so this page reports what is confirmed, the shuttle, the distances, the drive time, and how to check a price before you get in.
