Zašto doći u Zadar?
Zadar je grad prebogate kulturne baštine koji u svom kontinuitetu traje još od stare i zagonetne liburnske kulture. Tijekom stoljeća jedno je od administrativnih i kulturnih središta čitave jadranske Hrvatske. U Zadru je napisan prvi časoslov, zapisane su prve hrvatske note, ovdje je Petar Zoranić napisao prvi hrvatski roman Planine. Već 1396. godine u Zadru je djelovalo Dominikansko veleučilište. Tu su na samom početku 19. stoljeća tiskane i prve novine Kraljski Dalmatin u dvojezičnom hrvatsko-talijanskom izdanju. Stalna izložba crkvene umjetnosti Zlato i srebro Zadra jedna je od triju najatraktivnijih sakralnih izložaba u Europi. Zadar je jedinstven i svojom predromaničkom i romaničkom arhitekturom.
U neposrednoj blizini grada nalazi se i hrvatski kraljevski grad Nin s najmanjom katedralom na svijetu. Zadar je smješten u idiličnom okruženju prirodnih ljepota i prelijepih šljunčanih plaža, a u blizini se nalaze i tri nacionalna parka (NP Paklenica, NP Krka, NP Kornati).
