Learn more about Zadar

Along the seafront promenade, the Sea Organ plays haunting melodies created by waves pushing air through underwater pipes. Nearby, the Sun Salutation captures daylight and creates a mesmerising light show after sunset. Roman ruins stand alongside medieval churches in this ancient walled city, where history feels casually abundant. The Cathedral of St. Anastasia towers over narrow limestone streets that open suddenly into sunny squares. Duck into the Museum of Ancient Glass to see delicate Roman artefacts displayed with surprising wit. After exploring Zadar's old town, join locals at sunset when they gather by the sea. The Times didn't call this the "entertainment centre of the Adriatic" for nothing.

Teatro Verdi Hotel

Teatro Verdi Hotel

8/10 Good
"This hotel, just inside the Zadar city walls is a great location for a visit to the old town, the incredible sea organ, and the Adriatic Sea. Book parking in advance if you have a car (though city parking is also nearby). Breakfast is goo, though the space is small when it is chilly and the outdoor seating is not comfortable. The staff is helpful and rooms are fine, though with a window directly at the street level you'll feel closed with curtains closed."

The room was large and well-kept. The hotel breakfast, while taking a bit of time, was made from scratch and worth it. I actually saw one person order everything on the menu. The staff did not react at all. I was very impressed. This is an amazing place and is located in the best part of Zadar."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a better deal for your stay in a Zadar hotel. If you’re seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that might help you discover a more affordable option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels close to the city centre typically cost more, but with Zadar’s excellent public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that’s still well connected. For those looking to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Choosing these alternative destinations could offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
