Zadar Airport Car Rental

Airport Car Rental

Although perhaps not as well known as Dubrovnik or Split, the coastal city of Zadar is one of Croatia’s loveliest tourist destinations. Combining splendid beaches with historical charm, it has all the right ingredients for an enjoyable vacation. These are three of its most interesting attractions:

  • Churches. A predominantly Catholic country, Croatia is home to many stunning churches, with a good number of them located in Zadar. The unique Church of St. Donatus, dating back to the 9th century, is arguably the pick of the bunch, but the eclectic Cathedral of St. Anastasia and St. Mercy Church and Monastery are also not to be overlooked.
  • Archaeological Museum. Strategically located on the Adriatic coast, Zadar has been inhabited since prehistory and was already a notable port city during Roman times. Providing a glimpse into this fabled past, the city’s Archaeological Museum provides a decent collection of exhibits and artifacts spanning several millennia. If you like this place, you’re also likely to enjoy the Museum of Ancient Glass which can also be found in the city.
  • Šibenik. Small and quaint, but also home to a fascinating history, the town of Šibenik is one of the most visited places in the area. Located about an hour’s drive down the coast, it is known for architectural gems like the Cathedral of St. Jakov and several palaces, as well as, naturally, beaches.

Picked up car from Zadar and drove to Spit (2 hour drive) on A1. Scenery was amazing and driving easy. After a few days drove from Split to Rijeka (4 hour drive), once again amazing scenery and driving easy using well built modern highway. A real pleasure to drive in Croatia.
