About this experience
The 11h morning tour starts at the Greeting to the Sun and the 18:30h tour starts from the Land Gate. If you fall for the Sunset, join us in the afternoon tour. We walk 90 min rain or shine no matter what. Dress accordingly, bring an umbrella or a raincoat if needed. We don't enter any Museum or Church with charge. If you don’t join this Walking tour in order to hear more about Roman architecture then you will surely join it because of the Venetian walls and bastions. You will find out why some of the most famous people, like Alfred Hitchcock, said that Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world.
Roman street net guides you through the city towards the Venetian masterpiece of defense. At last, a winged lion, symbol of Venice and St. Mark salutes you on your way out from the old core.
