So, it happened. You came to have a relaxed vacation in the sun, swim in the sea, listen to some crickets and then… BUM. You got caught up by a bad weather.

Ah, it happens. Not the end of the world. Bad weather in Zadar during summer months usually does not last long. Autumn… slightly different story. But if it happens, it is good to have some activities in your back pocket.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Lay down in bed with an open window and listen to the rain. Meditate.
2. Watch a movie on your apartment TV (but prepare beforehand, bring your Chromecast, laptop and/or HDMI cable).
3. Cook something nice, google for recipes.
4. Practice handstands or do some yoga in the apartment. Some space can always be made. 🙂
5. Play some social games or cards. You can buy social games in Muller, or near by shopping center.
6. If the rain stops, even for a minute, go for a quick run outside the apartment to clear your head.
7. If the rain is not strong, and it is a summer day, then I have only one question: have you ever swim in the rain? The sea can be surprisingly warm.
8. Did you ever try to paint? Why not try now, with a glass of wine in one hand and a brush in the other? https://www.artbottega.hr/en/
9. Visit Museum of Illusions. I am really not the typical museum type of person, but I find this one to be very fun. Very short too. But fun. Yes, it is in the old town. Yes you will need an umbrella, a bus or a taxi, but hey..
10. Try out Escape Room. You know how you always wanted to try an escape room, maybe in your own city, but you just never had a time, or there was always something else to do? Well, maybe now is the time to try it out… they do require you reserve in advance.
11. Have a gym day. Some gym options include: Gyms4You and Omnia.
12. Have a spa day. Hotel Bastion has a really nice small spa. Bastion is placed in the heritage building in the old town and by keeping its heritage it offers unique experience. Falkensteiner resorts (both in Zadar and in Petrčane) have Wellness & Spa, but that really depends on your budget.
13. What about some thai massage?
14. Check if near by Billard club has any billiard table. 🙂
15. Go for some Pizza at Congo or try any other restaurant with a nice interior. In example Harbor if you are up for a walk or a drive.
16. Go to the movies: Cinestar. Majority of the movies are in English, with only Croatian subtitles, so if your English is good, go for it.
17. Oh yes, you can also do some shopping, not only for social games. Supernova shopping mall is the biggest one.

Hope your rain will not last long. 🙂
