Skradin is also referred as the gateway to Krka National Park and is often missed when visiting Krka National Park. The small town is definitely worth a visit. Skradin is located around 20 kilometers from Šibenik. The city’s picturesque backdrop with historical buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, the beautiful Krka River and the beautiful mountains are particularly attractive to visitors.
Skradin is the perfect starting point for excursions in the region. By far the most popular attraction here is definitely the Krka National Park, which is around 20 minutes away by ferry. The boats leave from the harbor early in the morning and bring you back again. But trips to other places such as Šibenik, Primošten, Vodice or Biograd also make Skradin a good place to stay.

The off-season is recommended here. In the months of April, May, September and October the temperatures are very pleasant and there is definitely less going on. The prices are also a bit cheaper. If you want to take a trip to Krka National Park, the off-season costs only half as much as in summer.
Skradin is a place that benefits greatly from the Krka National Park and is probably a bit more expensive, especially in high season. But it is definitely cheaper than Dubrovnik or Split. A beer in a restaurant here costs around 3-4€.
The small town is ideal for half a day. We also recommend spending a night in Skradin. Here you can end the evening in one of the charming restaurants and take the first ferry to Krka National Park the next morning.
