Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Zadar
When traveling to Zadar, the most convenient arrival point is Zadar Airport (ZAD), which is physically located in the city itself. It provides the fastest and most affordable access to the historic center, making it the superior choice for most travelers. While international options exist in neighboring cities, they require significantly longer land-based transit. Split Airport (SPU) is a major gateway in a neighboring city, serving many international routes, but reaching Zadar from there involves a 2 to 3-hour journey by bus or private transfer. Similarly, Rijeka International Airport (RJK) and Bol Airport (BWK) are located in other cities and serve primarily regional or seasonal traffic, necessitating complex transfers often involving buses or island ferries. For those coming from Italy, Ancona Falconara Airport (AOI) is an option if combined with a seasonal ferry across the Adriatic to Zadar, though this is primarily for scenic or specific route requirements. In summary, prioritize flights to ZAD for a seamless arrival, reserving the others only if flight availability dictates otherwise.

Zadar Old Town Zadar|0.77km from city center
Located in the old town, transportation is convenient, and the bathroom facilities are quite new. The staff are friendly. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in my room was very weak, it was really too hot. And my bunk was in the corner on the top, which made it impossible to sleep due to the heat. I ended up sleeping in the common room, which was very comfortable with strong AC.FromUS$17

Kolovare Hotel is located on Kolovare Beach and has an outdoor swimming pool. It is a few minutes away from Zadar Bus Station, about a fifteen-minute walk from Zadar Old Town, and about a 20-minute walk from the Sea Organ. It is quite convenient and offers a decent breakfast. It is suitable for people traveling from Zadar to other places.FromUS$171

The hotel is right by the sea. It's a maximum 20-minute walk to the Old Town, or you can take a hand-rowed boat from the lighthouse near the hotel entrance (2 euros per ride) directly to the Old Town walls. The rooms are very new. The rooms facing the front don't have balconies but are directly opposite the sea with two windows, offering excellent light. Some side rooms face the sea but have different viewing angles, though generally still offer a view. Other rooms don't have a sea view. Daria at the front desk was incredibly enthusiastic and gave us a lot of help. Even though I had a small issue, with her assistance, I easily found a solution. Many, many thanks to her! Zadar is definitely worth a visit.FromUS$331

It was a pleasant stay with all the staff been friendly and thanks to the young lady in the breakfast room.
She ran the wholebreakfat on her own, always smiling and having nice things to say. The hotel is lucky to have such good staff.
The young girl at reception was equally friendly and insisted on carrying our bags up a flight of stairs. She explained everything about the hotel and things to see in Zadar.FromUS$129

Zadar Old Town Zadar|0.71km from city center
Not recommended, the floor is on the top floor, the fifth floor in the Chinese concept, there is no elevator, when you check in, you have to wait for the landlord for a long time, the landlord asks the guests to carry their luggage upstairs, no one cares when checking out, the guests carry their luggage down the five-story stairs. The room is average, like a small apartment, but in this small town, it seems that many of them are such apartments, and there are not many to choose from. Health is really good. However, the bath is very laborious, the hot water is likely to be enough to complete half of the bath, the water heater is very small.FromUS$147

Zadar Old Town Zadar|0.76km from city center
The hotel is located on the main road in the center of the old city, the old city is not big, so it takes a few minutes to walk to any scenic spot, and the location is very good. If it is a self-driving car, the car must be parked outside the old town, contact the staff in advance, the staff will come out to pick you up, and it will only take two minutes to walk in. The decoration of the hotel is very new, I like the modern and simple style very much. The room is not big but the bathroom is not small, the bath water is large and comfortable, there is no kettle, but there are slippers but the quality is a bit poor. Breakfast is of course simpler than a four-star and five-star hotel. The staff are very warm and friendly.FromUS$240
