Are you looking for some challenge and adventure this summer? Want to explore Dalmatian coast and visit extraordinary places of interest? Feel like meeting new people, having relaxed time on the beach and having a fun all-nighter under the starry summer sky? While you start thinking about all the things you might need and not really, and how many of them actually fit your backpack, here are a few useful tips for carefree travel.

An exciting city with a great buzz. A modern city with a history and legends to tell. A city of romance and fun. A city with beaches and great sights. A city with friendly, interesting people. An absolute must-see city in Dalmatia, Croatia and Europe.Which cities is it all about? Not cities, but one city that has it all and more - Zadar. So, when in Zadar, apart from doing as the Zadrans do, check out the very best of this amazing Mediterranean city.

Final call for passengers boarding the last holidays of 2016! The year is entering its final stage, the ultimate fun and happy moments just round the corner. It’s the time of year when we look back at the moments we’ve had in 2016. Good times that make us nostalgic, and bad moments that don’t seem so tragic anymore. Yes, we remember it all. The excitement of travelling, adventure of meeting new people and places. The deep sigh when reaching destination and entering a room with a view (like the ones in Boutique Hostel Forum). A cold beer in the shade on a hot summer day, a great concert under a starry night sky. The sound of waves (in Zadar)...

See the lights on every corner? Hear the carols and popular Christmas songs in public places, on the radio, all around? These are the songs that won’t annoy you, even if you’ve heard them oh so many times before - simply because it’s Christmas time! And no matter what happened last Christmas, whether this Christmas is white or not, regardless of the presents underneath the Christmas tree, simply make sure you’re having a wonderful Christmas time. In Zadar.  Because Zadar is having a great holiday season. 

A backpacker. A group of besties and buddies. An adventure seeker. A party animal. An incurable romantic. The list is endless. Anyone can get their taste of fun in Zadar (region). Simply because it makes everyone feel welcome, regardless of age, nationality, gender and travel preferences. It’s like a delicious piece of chocolate ice-cream or a beer after work on Friday afternoon - an instant uplifter nobody can resist. And why should you? So, check out what to look forward to when travelling to Zadar according to the way you like to travel:

Walk, because it’s the best way to explore Zadar and really feel its pulse. Walk, because it’s a great form of exercise to keep you fit on holiday. Walk, because it’s the cheapest form of sightseeing and why not use the money for some refreshment instead? So, how to avoid running around in circles and not appearing as a total tourist by checking out a map all the time?

F.U.N. - three letters are enough to describe what everyone wants to experience, particularly when on holiday. I.S.L.A.N.D.S - a bit more than three letters to locate where fun can be found. Definitions of fun may vary, but that won’t stop us from listing a few suggestions about the kind of excitement people can expect while in Zadar region, and more concretely on the islands. So, take a pick according to your preferences:

You read ‘museum’ and you’re over and out? Are you really one of those people who say ‘bo-riiiing’ to a visit to a museum? You have planned only a short visit to Zadar and think that museums would take up too much time? Think twice. And we’ll tell you why.

Oh, oh, we see double. And no, not because we’ve had a few too many or because we’ve spent too much time out in the sun. Nor has a pair of twins just walked past. Remember the award Boutique Hostel Forum got last year as the best Croatian hostel? Well, this year we came for more, and that’s exactly what we got - this Miss has been crowned the second year in a row!
