Almost two kilometers in length, Ancient City Walls of Dubrovnik are among the best preserved and most attractive on this planet, and a walk along them is an absolute must. These defenses were built between the 8th and the 16th century. The fact that the main wall, which is turned to the mainland of the city, is 6 meters wide shows their primary purpose as defense against attacks from the Ottoman Empire.

The musical Sea Organ (Morske orgulje) in Zadar, is the world's first musical pipe organ that receive the sound and melody from the sea, ie from its waves. Simple and elegant steps, carved in white stone, where build on each side. Underneath, there are 35 musically tuned tubes with whistle openings on the side walk. The movement of the sea pushes air and depending on the size and speed of the wave, a musical note arises which creates wonderful harmonic sounds.

According to Alfred Hitchcock, the sunsets in Zadar are more beautiful than those in California.
