Documents you'll need

Navigating city driving
Zadar has simple coastal roads and narrow old-town streets.
Driving is easy on main routes, though some streets in the historic center restrict access. Navigation apps help you reach beaches, marinas, and nearby towns without difficulty.
Tolls, emissions zones, and charges

Zadar itself has no tolls or emissions zones. Toll charges apply only when you take longer journeys on the country's main highways.
Parking your car in Zadar
Parking is easiest in parking lots around the old town.
Street spaces are limited in central areas. Public parking lots near the walls and waterfront offer reliable access. Always check signposts for time limits and fees.
Finding fuel or charging points

Gas stations are located along major routes into the city. Charging points are growing in marinas and shopping areas. Apps like PlugShare help you check what's available.
Local driving style and tips

Traffic moves smoothly on coastal roads, while historic areas need slower speeds. Scooters are common in summer, so give extra space when turning or joining tight streets.
