Explore Zadar at Your Pace: Two-Day Private Digital Guide to City Highlights and Hidden Gems
Select participants and date
A wind from the Adriatic presses clean salt into your hair as you step off the Riva and onto Zadar’s stone promenade. To your right, the Sea Organ hums—an improbable instrument played by waves—while to your left the Greeting to the Sun stores the day’s light and releases a brief electric glow after dusk. Over two days with the Zadar Private Digital Guide, the city opens like a well-organized map of history and place: Roman forum stones underfoot, Venetian-era arsenals shadowing narrow lanes, and pebbled beaches cupping the shoreline.

Adventure Tips
Download before you go
The guide works offline but must be fully downloaded before leaving Wi‑Fi to ensure maps and descriptions are available without a signal.
Comfortable stone‑ready shoes
Zadar’s streets are limestone and pebbled beaches reward sturdy soles—avoid fresh leather soles that slip on wet stone.
Reserve Plitvice in advance
Day-two Plitvice access can fill fast in summer—book transport and park entry ahead to avoid long lines and limited slots.
Carry a small power bank
Navigation and offline maps are phone‑heavy; a packed power bank keeps GPS and tickets available all day.
