💡 Buy a single ticket from the kiosk at the bus station (1.30 EUR). Validate it on board. The Poluotok stop is at the start of the pedestrianised Old Town; from there it’s a five-minute walk along Obala kneza Trpimira to the hotel.

Top Attractions in Zadar
💡 Go just before sunset and sit on the upper steps to hear the notes rise as the sun hits the Adriatic. Bring a light jacket even in summer as the sea breeze picks up.
💡 Arrive at civil twilight (about 40 minutes after sunset) when the colours just start to glow. Avoid Friday and Saturday peak hours when it gets crowded with groups.
💡 The building often hosts classical music concerts in summer – check the tourist board poster outside. If the door is locked, peer through the iron grille at the mosaic floor.
💡 The nearby public toilet is one of the few free ones in the old town. Also a good spot for a picnic if you grab burek from the bakery on Varoš Street.
💡 First Sunday of the month is free. Otherwise, pay the 30 kuna (€4) – it’s worth it for the late-Roman blue glass swan and the short film on ancient glassblowing.
