Dobar dan / Bok
Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only โ wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.
Alfred Hitchcock called Zadar's sunset 'the most beautiful in the world.' The Sea Organ on the waterfront uses wave energy to play music through stone pipes โ sit beside it at dusk. The nearby Greeting to the Sun installation lights up at night.
๐ญ๐ท Dubrovnik Fun Fact
Dubrovnik was the first state in the world to officially abolish the slave trade โ in 1416, over 400 years before the British Empire. The city-republic of Ragusa prided itself on freedom ('Libertas') above all.
๐ญ๐ท Zadar Fun Fact
Zadar has been bombed, besieged, and devastated more times than almost any city in Europe โ Byzantines, Venetians, Crusaders, Austrians, and NATO aircraft in 1944 all left their mark. Yet its Roman forum still stands in the city centre.
