Hotels in Old Town, Zadar

Old Town is the historic core of Zadar, situated on a small peninsula jutting into the Adriatic Sea. Its streets are a dense grid of Roman and medieval ruins, centuries-old churches, and Venetian-era fortifications—including the Land Gate from 1543. The entire district is a pedestrian zone, easily explored on foot.

Major landmarks include the 9th-century Church of St. Donatus, the Roman Forum, and the modern Sea Organ. The area is enclosed by city walls and gates, with the main ferry port and bus station located just outside its northern edge. It is the primary tourist and cultural center of the city.
