Walk around the atmospheric streets of the old town, located on the peninsula. There are 34 old churches situated on the peninsula, and all of them with a very rich history. The oldest is St. Simeon (Sv. Šime).
St. Donat's - St. Donat's church is one of the best preserved pre-Romanesque buildings in the world. It is pretty difficult to miss, as it has become the most recognizable symbol of Zadar. The church is no longer in use for religious ceremonies, and today is a museum. It also holds a series of classical music concerts every summer.
Remains of The Roman Forum - One of the best preserves Roman Forums in existence. This is a common place for locals to stroll, sit down amongst the ruins and enjoy a nice summer day.
St. Anastasia (the Cathedral) - Zadar's main cathedral with an impressive organ that was nearly destroyed in the last war.
St. Mary & St. Simeon - St. Mary also houses a museum of antique religious relics and artifacts.
University of Zadar - originaly founded 1396., which makes it the oldest university in Croatia, and one of the oldest universities in Europe.
The Archaeological Museum - Houses artifacts that testify to Zadar's long and rich history.
Enjoy the otherworldly sounds of the Sea Organ (Croatian: Morske orgulje) on Zadar's Riva. This man-made organ works with the motion of the waves and 35 pipes to create a musical soundscape. A favorite for locals and tourists alike, and accompanied by a light display that creates visualisations of the sounds being produced by the organ.
