Ždrelac Bridge

The Ždrelac Bridge is a 210-meter arched structure that connects the islands of Ugljan and Pašman. Travelers visit this landmark to cross between the two islands and observe the surrounding open sea from the bridge's elevation.

Getting There

To reach the bridge from Zadar city centre, travelers must first take a ferry to the island of Ugljan. From the ferry port, the bridge is accessible by car, scooter, or bicycle. The total travel time depends on the ferry schedule and the local transport method used on the island.

Visit Duration

Since the bridge serves as a transit point and a viewpoint, most visitors spend between 30 minutes and one hour at the site to observe the scenery and take photographs.

When to Visit

The bridge is accessible year-round. Visiting during the day provides the best visibility of the Adriatic Sea. During the peak summer tourist season, traffic across the bridge and in the surrounding island areas increases.

Nearby Attractions

The bridge can be combined with visits to other local points of interest on the islands:

  • Mišnjak (1.7km)
  • Veli Školj (3.7km)
  • Ošljak (7.7km)
  • Galovac (9.3km)
