The City seems a little different when you experience it outside of the car

Zadar is great city that's for sure, and our suggestion is to visit every corner of it. But, Zadar is not just old town, it is much more than that. Zadar is surrounded by beautiful islands, some of them are wild as they were 100 years ago, ancient towns like Nin and Biograd, National parks or nature park like Vrana Lake. Sometimes, especially during the high season Zadar is very crowded, and our advice is to grab a bike and feel freedom, feel more, feel the difference.
We will present you some of the best Zadar bike routes, only you need to do is to choose wich one you want to try.
