Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Zadar centre for the best rates; avoid currency exchange desks at the airport or tourist bureaux as they charge high commission and poor rates.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels; contactless works fine; smaller market stalls and some bakeries still prefer cash.
Rounding up the bill by 10% is appreciated in restaurants; taxis and hotel staff don't expect a tip but leaving a few euros for housekeeping is nice.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standard espresso or cappuccino at a local café costs around €1.50–€2.00.
A burek or pizza slice plus a soft drink costs about €5–€7 from a bakery or fast-food place.
A main course of grilled fish or meat with sides at a konoba is roughly €10–€14.
The old town's narrow streets near the market have several stands selling fried fish, ćevapi and ice cream – good for quick eats under €5.
The main budget supermarkets are Lidl, Konzum and Tommy; all are scattered around the 23000 area and on the edge of old town.
For affordable shopping go to the Mercator or Supernova shopping centres on the outskirts; the city market has second‑hand stalls occasionally.
The cheapest way around town is walking; for longer trips use the bus network (single ride €1.50, day pass €4); from the airport catch the local bus (€4) instead of a taxi (€15–€20).
Buy groceries at Lidl or Konzum and picnic by the sea; skip overpriced drinks inside the old town and walk 5 minutes to a bar in the residential streets; visit free attractions like the Roman Forum and Sea Organ.

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.
