About this venue
Krešimir Ćosić Hall is Zadar’s main multi-purpose indoor arena and one of the city’s most recognizable venues for major concerts, sporting events, and large-scale shows. Its modern design and practical tier layout create a true “arena” atmosphere, with a capacity suited to events that require strong production, clear sightlines, and well-managed entrances.
Inside, visitors benefit from straightforward concourses and an intuitive flow, making it easy to find your way before the program starts. Comfortable seating areas, a sense of proximity to the court or stage, and convincing acoustics make the hall a reliable pick for both high-energy concerts and intense match nights, supported by the usual on-site amenities.
The venue is located at Splitska ul. 3, Zadar, Croatia. Most visitors reach the main entrance by car, with parking available in the immediate area, and arriving a bit earlier is recommended on big event days for smoother entry and ticket checks.

About the city
Zadar, a Adriatic city with a strong sense of identity, naturally blends Mediterranean charm with the energy of top-tier events. As a destination for concerts and sporting spectacles, it attracts visitors who want to feel the city’s vibe while still enjoying a relaxed seaside getaway. That mix of urban buzz and coastal scenery makes Zadar an excellent choice for planning a night out or a weekend trip around an event.
Getting in and moving around is straightforward thanks to well-connected transport hubs and clear logistics. Local public transport relies on the Liburnija city buses, which link key neighbourhoods and make it easy to reach arenas and stadiums without unnecessary transfers. Travellers often choose Zračna luka Zadar (Zemunik), Autobusni kolodvor Zadar or Željeznički kolodvor Zadar, while extra flexibility comes from sea connections via Putnička luka Gaženica, making Zadar practical for those combining multiple travel options.
When the main programme isn’t on, Zadar rewards you with a walk through the historic Poluotok, where the city’s rhythm is felt at every step. Stroll along Kalelarga and stop by Narodni trg, then continue towards the waterfront and signature attractions such as the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun. For a complete experience, it’s worth pausing by the Forum and the church of St. Donatus, then rounding off the evening with great coffee or local cuisine before or after the event.
