Be local - evening

Join us on a walking tour through more than two millennia of Zadar’s uninterrupted urban existence. Discover why the ancient Illyrians chose Zadar’s peninsula to found a city, and why so many rulers longed to make it their own after them. Romans, Franks, Byzantines, Hungarians, Venetians, Austrians, Napoleon… — each sought to claim this city for themselves in their own time.
Hear the stories of our rebellious spirit, our pride, and our quest to forge our own identity among powerful empires. Learn how we overcame countless obstacles in pursuit of the ultimate dream — freedom.

Walk with our licensed tour guide through a surreal mosaic of architectural influences, guarded by the majestic Venetian walls, rightfully included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The cultural monuments stand proudly, bearing witness to Zadar’s glorious history. But our ancestors left us more than a legacy to admire — they gifted us a powerful identity, deep pride, and an enduring spirit that has lasted through the centuries.

Discover how a history, often hard and painful, shaped our resilient and stubborn mentality, and how it still reflects in modern-day Zadar. Immerse yourself in Zadar’s everyday lifestyle and feel like a true local.
