Discover Zadar Trip 2026

Beneath a series of stone steps on the waterfront promenade, wave movements force air through hidden pipes, producing meditative, organ-like sounds — a globally unique architectural artwork right by the sea.

Right next to the Sea Organ lies a 22-meter circle of solar cells embedded in the ground, which stores solar energy during the day and, after dark, produces an impressive, colorful light show in rhythm with the Sea Organ's sounds — a popular spot at sunset.

Dalmatia's largest cathedral, in Romanesque style, houses valuable medieval frescoes and sarcophagi, while the adjoining bell tower rewards a climb with a sweeping view over the old town and offshore islands.

The excavations of the former 1st-century Roman main square lie in the heart of the old town next to the distinctive round Church of St. Donatus, attesting to Zadar's long ancient history as a significant Roman port town.

Zadar Airport is located about 12 kilometers east of the old town and reachable by airport bus or taxi in about 20 minutes. Direct flights from several Swiss cities also run several times a week in summer.
