We really enjoyed the Queen Jelena Madijevka Park. We it is fairly large, with several trails and a stone staircases to access a raised center portion. The park is filled with flowering trees and small areas to explore. The views of the five-wells park adjacent to it and of the city wall and gate are really worth a visit to the park.

Nice park in the middle of the city. It's on the casle wall. You can rest here, take good photos, walk with your partner or with your doggie. There are very good restaurants nearby. Definitely worth to visit in any season. There are many parking options in the area.

Wide park area with beautiful planted flowers and path walks. There is no entrance fee or fences surrounding the park (just a couple of stones and old walls). The park is perfect for a walk with or without children. Multiple benches are built for a chilling rest. On top of the park there is Cafe / Bar with normal prices and good service.

What I enjoyed about this place is that they blended the old town with hints of our today. So the structure and spaces were restored and used for shopping or hang out spots. It is also quite a relaxing and cool walk meandering through the alleys

Beautiful park next to Five Wells Square. Lots of paths on different heights to wander around. Some benches to sit down and a cafe in the park too. Very pretty place.

A number of the plants/shrubs have labels so you can see what they are.

The park was founded by Austrian commander Baron Franz Ludwig von Welden in 1829, a passionate botanist and admirer of Dalmatian flora, it was the first public park in Dalmatia.

Definitely worth a visit.

This green Island at the edge of historical Old Town peninsula of Zadar is in refreshing contrast to the otherwise also amazing narrow, stoned streets, crowded by tourists in summer, but Stiller maintaining a calm, wonderful mixture of past and present. There's an open-air, light-painted club inside, very tastefully dekorated, great mood and pleasant musical. Highly recommended!

Great park,
This is a great park with a lot of paths to go exploring. It's located right next to five wells square so you can do 2 tourist destinations at once. There's a lot of places to sit in the park and the view is extraordinary.
