"Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world." Alfred Hitchcock
I guess you've never been to Santorini!.. Or any other Greek island..
@chateau liberte Not on this planet. Smh
How many tourists visit zadar? Santorini gets more than 2milion visitors a year! So i think they saw something more than Hitchcock..
@@killbill1175 popularity doesn't mean shit. Cardi B is popular and she's shit...
Keep your 2 million tourists. The best places are not overcrowded.
Zadar Is just amazing. One of the greatest cities I ever visited!!
And I visited a lot of cities.
🇭🇷❤️
My favorite Croatian coastal old town! Lovely walks you do for your followers.
The narrow streets are nice & cool to walk down in summer. The solar light show, is better than you'd expect. Glad to see you to choose Croatia as a country worth staying in a bit longer.
Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe.. LIJEPA NASA DOMOVINO❤️🇭🇷❤️
Loreto Paras ,

Pozdrav ti Loreto😉
Thank you so much Gabriel! Solar panels are Sun salute don't miss the show at night. Enjoy!!!
Zadar streets are beautiful. Full of history and unique buildings
I made it to Split yesterday what an amazing place ! Been swimming today in the sea 🌊 Thanks for the videos Gabe really helped me take the plunge ! Zadar is definitely on my itinerary looks good 👍🇭🇷
Sweet, have fun in Croatia.
One the most important Cities on Croatian cost, with rich though tragic history..
Destroyed so many times throughout the history..
The Dalmatian coast has never been croatian. Everything there was built by romans, venetian and italians.

What a beautifuuulll place Zadar.. greeting from Jakarta Indonesia 😊🙏
Zadar, one of my favourite Croatian city.
Wife and I used to go there often on weekends - we lived only about an hour and a half away...was a nice drive through Lika and down onto the coastal road.
They have some excellent restaurants in Zadar...and chicadas are everywhere.
I really miss the place.
Why do you no longer go there?
@@janel697 Moved back to Canada.
@@Phoenix-rw3nh why what?

Issues with family members in Canada,
Those holes making noise from the waves are so cool.

We call it Sea Organ
Yes, they were cool but I never got to see them :(
Nice to be back in Croatia with you 👍
"Just spectacular" entry arch from 1542 ... way cool. :)
My beautiful town ❤❤❤
What a beautiful looking waterfront. Interesting solar panel. Looks so peaceful city. Excellent video. 🤗🤗
The in-depth study of Croatia continues with another fantastic video. Zadar is a truly historic place, but much of its history is tragic.
voxley19 you like trains
Thanks Gabriel... we should've been in Croatia in June, but we are still stuck in America, so, your videos bring to our living room one of the countries we really really love!
At the end of this video you show the beautiful Gate to Zadar's old town, and just above it, a magnificent winged lion, symbol of St. Mark, the saint patron of Venice, rulers of this entire region back then... and I say magnificent only because of how well preserved... I know Croats didn't like it.
I heard a story about a Japanese tourist who tried to sue her travel agent because the Organ in Zadar didn't play her favorite tune! Zadar is so beautiful, as all of Croatia is... I hope you keep going north and "discover" Pula and its impressing roman arena, one of the five largest built by the Romans, and also one of the best preserved ones.
Enjoy Plitvice, I don't know if you can swim there now, the times I've been there it was not permitted... but knowing you don't like the crowds and also trying to keep yourself safe, it is high season, hopefully you can enjoy that amazing beauty. In your Sibenik video you mentioned something about escaping from the crowds... I'm sure you would enjoyed going up the Biokovo to the Sveti Jure peak... but now you are far from those mountains... if you keep on going north, inquire about going "truffle hunting" with dogs and guides.
It is funny... when you are showing Zadar's Gate, there is mariachi music in the background, they're playing "El Son de la Negra", and it gets louder... were you going for a tequila shot instead of rakija ? ;)
That building at 5:50 is the church of St. Donat, and its from the 800s. It was actually built using ancient Roman columns and stones, making it even more fascinating. Very old and intriguing building.
I have a thrill walking through narrow streets cause we feel bigger than life..enjoy your stay Gabriel
Happy to see comments are allowed again! Croatia is awesome!
Look how beautiful and civilized everyone is there. No nerves. Calm. Enjoying their day. Look at the bare building walls. No graffiti on them. They respect their city. It's amazing to see so many sides of buildings, large open surfaces, completely bare. Love it.
My wife and I have been following you for a year or so, after coming across your video in Menorca, and Island that we love. Your vlogs in Croatia have really highlighted a beautiful country and we will definitely visit. Thanks. Stay safe.
Origins of Zadar are from 384 BC and that didn't stop English to level the city build of white Brace stone to the ground because Italians were still occupying this ancient Croatian city during WW2.
Italians occupied Zadar in 1921 but they surrendered 1943 to Allies. Then came Germans to occupy Zadar and they stayed only one year.
Zadar traces its origin to 9th-century BC which already in the 7th and 6th century BC. and it was an important center of the Illyrian tribe Liburni for which the port of Zadar was the starting point for numerous trade trips and a safe anchorage. The Liburnians were contemporaries of the Italic Etruscans and the Levantine Phoenicians. But the history goes further that that, the wider Zadar area has been inhabited since ancient times. The findings of this earlier culture date back to the Paleolithic, while in the Neolithic period archaeological excavations have identified numerous human settlements. On the outskirts of today's Zadar, such settlements were located in the area of Arbanasi and Puntamika. Before the settlement of the Illyrian tribes, this area was inhabited by the ancient Mediterranean people, from whose pre-Indo-European language the name of the settlement itself very probably originates - Jadera, Jadra or Jadr, which were later taken over by other civilizations what came to be. Greetings from sunny Zadar.
@@omicrontheta5956 It is all true, only i disagree with the term " Illyrian people", in Zadar and Kvarner region lived Liburni , they were much different than classical Illyrians who lived in Dubrovnik and Neretva area of Croatia, Montenegro bay Boka Kotorska , Budva , Bar and north Albania
@@mariozd971 "Illyrians" is a name for complete "group" of Indo-European/Arian tribes which have inhabited the western and interior of the Balkans since prehistoric times. In Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina there where tribes like Histrians, Japodes, Liburnians, Delmataeans, Ardiaeians, Daorsi, Scordisci, Melcumani, in Montenegro Dokleati,Albania Taulanti, Enhelejci, Labeati, the interior of the Balkans Autarchies, Dardanians, Messiahs, Breuci, Kolapians etc. And yes they were all different in the essence and that's why we have classifications as a "group".
@@omicrontheta5956 that are all hysrorical facts.
That's sound is awesome. Although it would be a little eery in the dark alone at night!
I love the alleyways and cafes.
Beautiful city in Croatia and the rest of the videos that I have seen recently. God willing, I hope one day I can travel to that beautiful land in Europe. BTW, it was also nice to heard “El son de la negra”. A beautiful Mexican mariachi song at the end of your video. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽! Thanks for sharing.
Mexican music is very popular in Croatia. There are local bands playing Mexican music, and, if you close your eyes, you would swear they're from Mexico, my second most favourite place after my birth place Croatia.
@@apscoradiales
The first time I went to Croatia, I was amazed at how many "Mexican" music videos there were on the local channels... that's how I discovered the GREAT and late Oliver Dragojevic, 2Cellos, Klapa Kase, etc... and then also Iearned about how Mexican music made it to Croatia, or actually, Yugoslavia during Tito's time, thru a movie in which they play "The Cucaracha", known as "Mama Juanita" there... Later I listened to Viktorija Novosel, singing a very very good "Paloma Negra", and also The Caballeros from Zagreb...
I remember some funny music videos of "mexican music" with guys in donkeys, that also have a dear place in Croatia... but I also learned (by coincidence) about how you sing about the sea, love, history, etc. in a Klapa Kaše concert at the Franciscan monastery in Hvar, as they sang "Podiglo se malo četovanje" and "Zelena naranča". They explained the lyrics and how the franciscan museum there keeps the Zvir, or "The Beast", the figurehead of the St. Hieronimus, a local ship that participated in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571... just to think of a song that has existed for almost 500 years and still brings tears to the audience is incredible...
And in my case, music is a great way to connect peoples!
@@xavdanda
I remember when my cousins bought a record of Mama Juanita back in the 1960's.
We played it so much that we literally wore out the grooves on it!
@@xavdanda Indeed. Italian canzone are also popular on the coast. I grew up in Croatia and learnt Italian just by watching Italian tv back in Yugoslavia.
I've only returned after having lived in Denmark for 22 years.
Los Caballeros the best Croatian mariachi.
Love your work Gabriel, Thank you for showing the prices rooms, cars, food, ect. This all maters. Your number 1 in travel volgers. I wish you safe travel and good health.
Sea organ is much louder when a ship passes by!
Please go back for that, plus sunset & light show at night. All are amazing, promise.
You are awesome Gabriel, stay healthy and keep the good work my friend. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Looking forward to seeing the next video of the night life. Good move on your part to escape NA and land in Croatia LOL. Very cool and adventurous.
Totally.
Gabriel, if you have a chance while in Plitvice Lakes, see if you can go to Rastoke (a village which is part of Slunj) just up the road towards Karlovac/Zagreb. It's 30 kms away from Plitvice.
It's a beautiful part of Croatia...lots of water falls - Korana river that flows from the Plitvice lakes flows though Rastoke, and so does another river Slusnica/Slunjcica forming many beautiful falls.
Food is considerably cheaper than on the coast, and just as good, if not better.
It's my hometown...miss it a lot.
Funny thing, I came across it today on the bus while searching for best villages of Croatia. It was on a list. When I checked where it was on the map, it was about 20 kms behind us. I guess we'd driven through it on the bus going to Karlovac, but I wasn't paying attention because I didn't know about it yet. Was wishing I'd read about it before going through it so I could have looked more closely at what it was like.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Next time!
When you have some time, have a look at the video I took a few years ago.
Not much has changed since, as you probably know things don't change much in places like Greece or Croatia; they stay same for decades!
czcams.com/video/6wLQhWw4IDc/video.html
You can watch my older video of Zadar here: czcams.com/video/MM_NrXlEOsE/video.html
Edit: A viewer pointed out that I'm wearing the exact same blue shirt in the other video of Zadar, three years earlier. It's a Chang beer shirt I must have bought in Thailand.
Can't live without you
One of my favorite songs: czcams.com/video/ujNeHIo7oTE/video.html
Will you try Zagreb or will only stick to the coast? Some say it's a really cool and upcoming city.
@@theaugustissue1211 Yeah definitely going to Zagreb.
Thanks for taking us on the 🏊♂️ swim, into the church and out to eat 🍕 pizza... in the link video from 3 years ago ... by the way ...it is just my personal opinion but u look 10 years younger now.
Love you camera work in every video. The way you film your walks through little streets gives me a feeling that I am walking through these streets myself. There is no any other traveler on you tube that performs such an awesome subjective plan camera work. How do you do that?
Totally agree and his short hair cut w the hamdsome curls and his tan and nice calm voice
🌟⭐ 🌟⭐ 🌟!!!!
@wownouser maybe it is a go pro...???
Grazie mille...Gabriel... Zadar.. Very interesting view.. 👍👍👍🍀
It's 22 degrees Celsius in Ireland at the moment, with sporadic humidity. We can just about cope with that.😊 That's why I always go abroad in late September.
You were born under a wanderin' star... Thanks for the adventure in these difficult times !
Fantastic country
If I had the $$$ I would *move* to Croatia in a 💓 heartbeat! Thanks to Gabe for his wonderful vids. But I am merely an armchair traveler.
Jane L do you travel in real life
You are more than armchair t. Fact.
Adding Zadar to my list, absolutely beautiful.
You captured it very well ! My lovely home town. Always love to see it trough our guests eyes and vlogs
Hey Gabriel that arch must have been constructed by the Venetians, you can see the winged lion which is the symbol of Venice on top.
@superbura9 superbura9
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Zara
@superbura9 superbura9 Venetians were always merchants. They are still merchants, you can see that if you visit Venice.
What a brilliant idea about the sea organ.
Amazing city , love the old town , cheers to you Gabriel
I saw a video with the sea-organ years ago. So cool!
Croatia looks beautiful! Greetings from a neighbor in the Balkans.
Plitvička jezera (or plitvice lakes) are incredibly beautiful, maybe i wouldnt call them spectacular, more like charming and serene natural sight
Loving all these videos from Croatia. Keep doing your thing Gabriel!!!
Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Gabriel, I like those cobblestones streets there's a noticeable shine to them and narrow pathways. Interesting entrance it can definitely pass for Italian structures.
Anyone else like Gabe's clean-shaven look?
Thank you Gabriel 🌴
the gold city 🤎 is so great &
Honestly this treat of a video took several views to fully grasp & appreciate just how incredible
& exciting, it is so fun to watch
~ it’s official
I’m totally addicted 👀
Beautiful! Thank you Gabriel! Alot of history ❤😊
I would love to see videos from Plitvice Lakes National Park. Seems like an amazing area!
Just finished watching your Krka National Park video. Looks like my wish will come true here!
Loving these videos. You do such a good job showing the cities and islands. Seeing as we cant travel from Australia at the moment this is so enjoyable and getting my list ready for when we can travel again. P.s I laughed outloud in your last video when you showed that little waterfall and said 'i thought it would be bigger' so funny....
In 1880. Navy officer austrian Georg von Trapp was born in Zadar. His family story inspired world famous motion picture 'The Sound of Music'. Later, he received his education in Rijeka, and owned a villa in Pula, all in Croatia. The oldest two ot their children were born in Pula. Dalmatia and Istria back than were Crown lands in Habsburg Empire, directly under Austria (not Hungarian part).
Hooray ty you are kicking out some great videos ty
I visited Zadar four days ago, wonderful place🇭🇷❤️
One more amazing video from Gabriel Travel 👍
That stuff is so cool . You are in a great place
I really, really love Croatia! From mostly Croatian in Novi Sad.
You always make me feel like I’m there with you brilliant Gabriel 👍🍻
Love Zadar it's a beautiful city. This all is very formulary for me because i have apartment at Sea close to Zadar. And every Sommer i do this walking thrue the old town. I whoul recommend you to visit Street Varosh doring the night lots of bars and happening there.
Sick vid! Encouragement for my next venture. Big up!
Awesome video. Thank you!
I like the old time Mexican music!
Greeting of the Sun. was supposed to be going there in a few weeks time but decided to cancel because I’m unsure of the UK hatred towards travel. Loving that sea organ noises
Thank you Gabriel for visiting my city and show people how it looks it is sad that same people don't know where is Croatia I am so glad because in comments exist people who know something about Zadar I am from peninsula and I am born there so to all people who see this video have a big hello from my and my town🐋🌊🏊💙😘❤️
blessings from Beaverton OR =)
Oh wow that sounds.... day and night hummmmm interesting.
very good video about Zadar
Only 2 days in Zadar is not enough! You should also check out Kornati islands National Park and the boat trip to Saharun Beach on Dugi Otok (Long Island) before heading for Plitvice lakes. Definitely worth it! Paklenica and Krka national parks are also easy day trips from there as well as Pag island. Zadar is where my family is from and I know it well, it's a travelling gem!
How are you passing up all that delicious ice cream on a hot summer day !? Nice to see a good video on Zadar ... one of our favorite towns
Beautiful video.
I was thinking of going to the Bari region of Italy but I think the Croatian coast is more diverse with too many islands to chose from
It's really beautiful places
Thank you for good time . いつも楽しみにしています。ありがとう。
I would like you to go across Zadar to the island of Uljan. Greetings. Be safe.
It's called Ugljan - and it is absolutely amazing there.
Serb's bomb the shit out of Zadar in 90's, today city looks really fine,no damages at all.
Very nice 👍
Gabriel getting very tan walking around in August.
I am from Zadar😁
Josip meni je Split prelip grad.. možda zato sto san se zasitila Zadra .. uvik su ti drugi gradovi zanimljiviji..
Check out the island of Pag, it has nice beaches and the town of Pag is very nice. From Novalja you can take a boat to Rab which is spectacular and generally work your way to the northern islands.
The winged lion in the archway is the symbol of St. Mark, the patron of Venice. So when you see that along the Adriatic it usually means it was built during the Venetian Republic days.
It usually means built during that rule, but they were also added to existing buildings.
Amazing.
Great place I was going to Croatia on 24th August but forced to cancel as there are midnight closures on bars, restaurants, and good chance it will be taken off air bridge. There's always next year, I guess.
Beautiful Croatia
That pavement looks amazing
Yeah, i am from continental Croatia, but always wonder how stone can be that polished. Fortunately, Dalmatia region dont have temperatures below zero celsius in winter or it would be a slideshow on ice :D
@@TheArtanis7 Haha yes...:) The stones looks old, but the precision with which they are laid, and the shine is incredible. I like how you keep your country clean. Many places in the world don't do that.
Love how you are wearing the same shirt from your video 3 years earlier!! Very cool :-)
Holy sh!t, you're right. I hadn't noticed that, even though I watched the old video again. That's hilarious. It's a Chang beer shirt. I must have bought it when I was in Thailand the year before I filmed that other video, in 2016. I vaguely remember buying it in Chiang Mai.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Wow so cool! Holy smokes....let that sink in for a moment. You are totally flowing with the river current and you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now. You followed your heart, left California, and went on your latest journey, and even when so many people tried to steer you off your track you kept following your heart. My theory is when life feels like a struggle it means you are swimming upstream, going against the river flow. To me that shirt represents the current or flow of the river and your journey.
Nice you were able to get out of the country during these times. Was that a mariachi band playing El Son De La Negra at the end?
Maybe it was the Croatian mariachi "Los Caballeros" from Zagreb :D... I was also surprised. VIVA MÉXICO CAB...!!!

I wanna go
Cool. Thor panel is my husband's name
With all your travelling would love to know where is your favourite place.
The gate dates from the period when this was a Venetian controlled city - above the gate is the Lion of St. Mark, Venice’s symbol. They owned it 1409-1797.
Looking good with the haircut and shave. 5 years younger at least. Enjoy yourself. Wish i was traveling rn
