Biograd na Moru is located halfway between the northernmost and southernmost part of the Croatian Adriatic and is therefore an ideal starting point for discovering the surroundings, as well as the more distant attractions along the coastline.
North of Biograd there are historic cities of Zadar and Nin where you can see the Church of Saint Cross, named the smallest cathedral in the world, which is one of the most valuable monuments of Croatian early medieval sacral construction. South of it there is Šibenik where you can admire the Cathedral of Saint James, the monument of Renaissance architecture which is included in the UNESCO world heritage list.
At the northern side, by the coast, on the south side of Velebit there is Paklenica National Park, the favourite vacation spot of all mountaineers and hikers, as well as all nature lovers. In the continental region of Lika, there is one of the best known and beautiful places in Croatia, Plitvice Lakes – sixteen turquoise lakes with countless waterfalls. Because of their exquisite beauty, the lakes are declared a national park and are also included in the UNESCO world heritage list.
In the hinterland of Biograd is Lake Vrana, a nature park and natural ornithological reserve, a habitat to a big number of wading birds. In the hinterland of Šibenik is Krka National Park, named after the river of the same name which with its foamy waterfalls, spacious lakes and exchange of cascades and streams creates exceptional sights which will leave you breathless.
