Visiting the sea organ was the second sightseeing spot at Zadar. The first was the Cathedral of St. Anastasia tower, which offerred fabulous panoramic view on the Zadar. Sea organ, lying on the edge of an old city, showed its best, thanks to sea activity. The bigger waves came, the more intense sound the organ produced.Together with the ancient buildings... More

We were passing through mid-morning and stopped off to take a look. We could hear slight sounds, but it wasn't too impressive. I think it could be mesmerising if going in the evening, though. Perhaps when the tide is in and to see the light show. I could see how it could be relaxing, but it is dependent on the... More

A perfect way to spending time is just by sitting on the steps and listening to the nature's song. Whether it's a calm evening so the music is subtle or it's windy and the sounds are furious, it's always out of this world. Our son loved it so much, that we spent many evenings there. More

This is one of the extraordinary and unique landmarks that you may see in a city. Since the melody depends on the intensity and range of waves, you have a chance to listen different sounds every time. I think the best time to be there is sunset with a bottle of wine. It is also a good idea to swim... More

On the northwestern corner of Zadar’s Riva (seaside promenade) just a few steps from the Ancona-Zadar ferry station is this remarkable piece of urban architecture. Opened in April 2005, the world’s only Sea Organ (Croatian: Morske Orgulje) is one of the most memorable sights in Zadar. Within the perforated stone stairs that lead to the sea are pipes with whistles... More

It's really something else! It consists of a bunch of stone steps,with holes in them. Through this holes,sea flows,creating interesting,calming sounds. Every hole makes a specific tone,and,depending on the weather and sea movement,you get a different composition every day! It also provides a great place to watch Zadar's beautiful sunset. More

We loved our trip to Zadar, the atmosphere was excellent. It was very busy but in a good way! We got some beers from a local shop then sat down by the sea organ listening to music and standing fascinated on the light up disco floor! Worth a visit, such a great place to be!

the two installations that border the Adriatic in Zadar- the Sea Organ and the Greetings to the Sun are fabulous and fun- the Greetings to the Sun saves solar energy during the day to light up and play a beautiful and ever changing light show. The Sea Organ is audible at all times but less impressive when the sea is... More

We stopped in Zadar for a couple of hours on our way to Split. This "music" was unbelievable. What a nice experience. The day was gorgeous, sunny and in the mid 70s and to sit at the ocean and hear this "organ music" was so special. It gave us "goose bumps". Even if you're just driving by this city on... More
