September 9, 2025, Greeting to the Sun, Zadar

From the "Greeting to the Sun," you can enjoy impressive views of the Zadar Canal, the offshore islands, and the famous sunset. The modern "Greeting to the Sun" structure consists of 200 multilayered glass panels that form a circle with a diameter of 22 meters. Solar energy is collected during the day and used in the surrounding area at night. In the immediate vicinity is the Zadar Sea Organ, another iconic installation that has made Zadar famous worldwide.

A very good hotel, close to the old town, with the charm of socialism on the outside, but completely different on the inside. The dining room still has something of the East Bloc hotels about it.

Charming alleys, or in other words: absolutely crowded and touristy alleys!
