Pag

The Adriatic city of salt and lace, this planned historic town on a limestone island preserves Croatian artisanal traditions.

Pag is located in the middle of Pag Island in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia, belonging to Zadar County. The island's bare landscape, weathered limestone, and bays form a unique scenery. The historic town of Pag was planned and built in the 15th century, with its streets unfolding around the Church of the Assumption of Mary. Visitors can explore the Pag Lace Gallery and the Benedictine Monastery of St. Margherita. Outside the town lie the salt pans and the ruins of the Old Town of Pag, while the city beach is perfect for swimming. June to September is the peak seaside season, while spring and autumn are more suitable for strolling. The Pag Bridge connects the southern tip of the island to the mainland, making it convenient to drive or take a bus from Zadar Airport.
