Day 15 of your road trip in Croatia is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Zadar before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Queen Jelena Madijevka Park. This curiosity-inducing park is a popular place to see in the city.
On your last day in Croatia, take time to indulge in shopping at Zadar’s popular marketplace, City Galleria. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.
Before you conclude your road trip in Croatia, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Zadar.
Savor the flavors at Restaurant Malo Misto, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Restoran Bruschetta beckons with its unique menu offerings.
You’ll then say farewell to Zadar. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Croatia!
