A lovely walled town on the Adriatic, Zadar is one of the best places to enjoy Croatia without the crowds. Cultural and cosmopolitan, its historic quarter features numerous medieval churches and ancient ruins, including the famed Church of St Donat built on the site of ancient Roman forum. Originally built in the 9th century, it is one of the most important examples of Byzantine architecture in the whole of the Mediterranean region. The jewel in Zadar's cultural crown is without doubt the amazing Zadar Archaeological Museum (inaugurated in 1832) with exhibits dating back to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. And don't miss the excellent Museum of Ancient Glass housed in a wonderful palace near Zadar's waterfront featuring Europe's largest collection of antique glass artifacts. Designed in the Romanesque style, Zadar Cathedral is blessed with a splendid interior most notable for its two magnificent rose windows and the 9th-century tomb of St Anastasia. After that, head for Zeleni trg Square to see the old Roman Forum and its remains from the 1st century BC. And no visit to downtown Zadar is complete without a tour of the city's original walls and gates, the oldest part having been constructed by the Romans close to the city's old footbridge. Gateway to Croatia's picturesque Dalmatia region, you can pick up your car hire at Zadar Airport and head down the coast on an exhilarating road-trip towards Split, visiting some of the country's prettiest fishing villages en route.
