Spent several night in this buzzing little town, wonderful ambiance day and night. Loads of historical things to see. Sea organs were fascinating loved the idea.
Zadar's old town is a beautiful place with the Sea Organ being the attraction that will live long in our memory. It's a brilliant idea for an art installation and doesn't require any interpretation to understand - just time (and the longer the better). My wife and I spent 4 days in Zadar in April 2014 and were drawn to end of the peninsula to enjoy the late afternoon sun and atmosphere everyday. The organ plays a peaceful melody which is almost hypnotizing at times as the coastal tide washes by and then erupts into a chaotic rhapsody as the waves rise when a boat speeds past!My wife added that it would be a great place for comtemplation but added that her head was completely empty as we enjoyed the glorious sunset and tranquility.
This place is pretty. I went there at night at around 1:30am as I arrived past midnight by a bus from Dubrovnik and had a flight to catch from Zadar airport early in the morning. Took a walk from our accommodation (Zadar Penninsula Accommodation) to St. Anastasia cathedral and bell tower, past St. Donatus Church, the Roman Forum, and along the sea-side steps towards the Sea Organ and Greetings to the sun. It was a rather leisurely stroll. The walk took us around 30min. I can imagine that during the daytime, it'll be more packed with tourists. However, you can easily pack all these attractions into a single day, if not half a day. From my experience, nighttime is a also good time to visit this area:1. Without noises from the crowds, The sound of the sea-organ itself is clear. You can sit on whichever step you want to sit on (sidenote: there were some dodgy teenagers around, and I suspect some of them peed on the steps because there were dodgy marks of liquids). The dark also makes the sea mysterious. If I had the chance, I would like to watch the sunset there. 2. The greetings to the sun was colourful. There were only few people around, so if you are equipped with a camera with proper nighttime mode, you can take great pictures. 3. When I went (in August), there were light projections in St. Donatus Church (yes, even at around 1.30am), which was nice.
The sea organ on the Zadar waterfront is one of the most creative and beautiful things I have ever seen. Not exactly visually beautiful, but the sound of the organ is haunting and lovely. See it especially at sunset along with the lighted mosaic next to it. Indescribable.
I recommend to record the singing of the organs as I can guarantee you will miss it!! Its too beautiful to put it in words, and watching the sunset by the organs is magical.
It's nothing to say - it's all about the sound of the sea- just sit and listen, enjoying the perfect view
Sunset and the sound made by tides through the pipes is an amazing and unforgettable experience. In summertime you can just jump straight into the pristine water of Adriatic Sea, climb back out and dray out on the warmth of the marble steps.
take a stroll down the "riva" and listen to the music of the pipes, very nice experience! I am in zadar a lot and it never gets boring to just sit there and listen to the sounds of the sea..especially romantic experience if you pair it with zadar's famous sunset
I had a great experience in this place. As Hitchcock said, the sunsets in Zadar are the best. The sounds of the sea organ, the way the waves create them is just so impressive. Do not miss this place.
