Where to Party in Zadar and Wider

Re-charge. That’s what most of us aspire to and/or plan to do during summer. After months of studying/working, we crave sleeping long without alarm clocks waking us up, relaxing on a beach with the sound of waves and slight breeze caressing the skin, sharing a drink or two with friends and staying up late without having to worry about the state we’ll be in the next day, meeting new people and going to exciting places, etc. In a nutshell, we want to take things easy, but also enjoy the summer to the fullest. Throughout Croatia there’s so much going on during the summer months and Zadar is no exception. And a great day spent buzzing around is bound to be followed by a wicked night out.

Basic Croatian for an Unforgettable Holiday

Tourism is a very important industry in Croatia, so tourists are very welcome (dobrodošli - ‘doh - broh - dosh- lee’). In fact, so welcome that they might even be greeted by a VIP when entering the country. And VIP here stands for a ‘very important politician’. Don’t be shy, talk to them - you might just have a laugh of your life. Joke aside, not all politicians speak Croatinglish nor does the general population. Truth be told, the majority of the younger population have studied English and speak it well. Older generations probably won’t shy away from communication in case you address them, but will rather use those bits and pieces of English they have picked up over the years of watching English programmes. Miming also works miracles even if you look a bit off. The point is, you’ll probably get your message through. If you speak German or Italian, it’s not unlikely to find someone who speaks those languages as well.
