Whichever way you want to reach Zadar, the natural beauty of the landscape will not leave you equanimous.
The ferry port as well as the new tourist port for cruisers are located on the new and spacious Gaženica port, some 3 km away from the center of the town (tourist cruising ships as well as local ferry and ship lines with Preko, Zaglav, Mali Lošinj, Pula and Ancona/Italy).
Air transport, even though the airport is small it is contemporary (9 km distance from the center), and connects Zadar with bigger cities of the Republic of Croatia and some European capitals.
