General presentation
Šibenik et parc national de Krka
A very legible combination of UNESCO city, fortresses, karst river, waterfalls and villages on the Dalmatian coast.
The discovery of Šibenik and Krka National Park revolves around the Cathedral of Santiago, Skradinski buk and Šibenik Fortresses. The stay thus alternates between the coast, riverscapes, natural spaces and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: park frequented in summer and swimming supervised or prohibited according to areas. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
UNESCO Heritage
Cathédrale Saint-Jacques de Šibenik
The Cathedral of Saint James imposes on Šibenik a presence of clear stone, remarkable by its architecture and sculpted details. It gives an excellent entrance into the city, before going up to the fortresses or reaching the coast.
Cascades
Skradinski buk
Skradinski buk is the most famous area of Krka, with staggered waterfalls, footbridges and dense vegetation around the water. The visit is simple and family, but it makes a great deal of money to be done outside of the busiest hours.
Maritime Fortification
Forteresse Saint-Nicolas
The fortress Saint-Nicolas keeps the maritime entrance of Šibenik with a powerful silhouette laid in the canal. The site complements the city and Krka well, as it reminds that this part of Dalmatia is as defensive as it is natural.
