Explore Zadar Old Town on foot during this classic walking tour. The route through the Old Town takes 1 hour 40 minutes from start to finish.

Overview

This is a guided loop through Zadar's Old Town, run by Elegance Tours and lasting 1 hour 40 minutes. The group gathers at Narodni trg, the main people's square, under the lamp post next to a white umbrella marked Zadar Walking Tour, then sets off on foot through the Old Town with a local guide narrating. Everything on the route is within walking distance and every stop is free to enter, so there are no admission tickets to buy along the way.

The walk follows a set sequence: the square itself, St. Simon's Church, the Five Wells, the Queen Jelena Madijevka Park, the Trznica market area, the Church of St. Krsevan, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, and finally the Church of St. Donatus. Guides here are repeatedly praised in traveller reviews for deep local knowledge, clear English, and a supply of restaurant and food recommendations. A couple of reviewers also mention a cheese tasting on their walk, though only all fees and taxes are listed as included.

With a cap of 30 travellers, the tour covers the Old Town's main sights in a single outing. The tour ends where it began, which makes planning the rest of the day simple.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the walk smoother, from footwear to finding the guide.

Common issues. The main practical limits are the 30-traveller maximum and the 24-hour cancellation cutoff, after which no refund is given. Tastings mentioned in some reviews are not listed inclusions, so they cannot be counted on for every departure. The walk covers a lot of ground in under two hours, which one reviewer felt made the tour information-dense for the time involved.

Common Questions

What is included in the price?

All fees and taxes are included. Every stop on the itinerary has free admission, so there are no entry tickets to buy during the walk. Anything the guide offers beyond the listed route, such as tastings, is at their discretion and not guaranteed.

Do I need to pay extra for the churches?

No. Every site on the itinerary, from St. Simon's Church to the Church of St. Donatus, is listed with free admission. You may choose to spend money at shops or the market, but nothing on the route requires a ticket.

Where does the tour meet, and is there pickup?

The meeting point is People's Square, Narodni trg, in Zadar, under the lamp post, where the guide waits with a white umbrella marked Zadar Walking Tour. Arrive 10 minutes before the start time. The tour ends back at the same square.

How long is the walk, and how demanding is it?

The tour lasts 1 hour 40 minutes, with stops of 5 to 10 minutes each. The surfaces and transport aspects are listed as wheelchair accessible, and pushchairs and service animals are allowed. The listing says most travellers can participate.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancel or request changes inside that window and no refund or change is accepted. The cutoff is based on local Zadar time.

What should I bring?

Comfortable shoes, since one reviewer's advice is to wear sensible footwear for the full route. A camera or phone is useful, as the listing highlights plenty of photo opportunities. Confirmation is received at the time of booking.
