Great tourist information & late opening!
by croatia2006
If You did not get very good service in a tourist office somewhere else in Croatia, You still should count on seasonal tourist office in Zadar. We arrived there in the evening and this office was open until midnight (during July and August 2006)!!! Very friendly staff with good knowledge and great service attitude.
Location in the centre: corner of Narodni Trg and Mihe Klaica
Btw, in Zadar it is very nicely put all the information of the history and sights on boards around the town!
St. Crysogamus Church
by croisbeauty
The belfry of the church was started in 1485, but the work progressed very slowly and it reached the present height in 1546, though it was never completed.
Four beautiful statues in white marble were placed on the altair in 1717, representing the patron saints of the city: Anastasia, Zoilus, Grysogonus and Simeon. The look of the rear side of St. Crysogamus Church

Learn Croatian!
by zlatoamor
I spent 2 weeks taking classes & living at Lingua Croatica. It was the best vacation I ever took! The professor who runs the program is very nice & will make you feel quite at home. In fact, many of the student rooms are in his home. The professors are patient & good instructors. While I am not fluent in Croatian after just 2 weeks, I have learned many of the rules & am confident enough to know that I can get around Croatia. I recommend everyone who wants to learn a little Croatian & have a great vacation contact Lingua Croatica in Zadar run by Prof. Mile Mamic.
PAKLENICA - The area of...
by Kamen_mali
PAKLENICA - The area of Paklenica, situated between the highest mountain peak of Velebit (Mount Vaganski, 1757 m) and the Adriatic Sea, was proclaimed a National Park in 1949. Its unique canyons, called Velika and Mala Paklenica, and the four hundred meter-high cliffs make it different from all other national parks. Paklenica’s rich flora and fauna (with many endemic species, such as griffon vulture), its karstic relief (with the so-called Manita Pec) and numerous sports activities (such as mountain climbing, free-climbing, hiking, trekking, horseback riding and bird watching) are attracting an increasing number of tourists.
