To get from the inter-city bus station (and train station) into the center of Zadar, or the old town, a local bus stop is located on the main road just outside the station. Bus (costs 10 Kuna) number 2 or 4 will take you directly there, the journey is only five minutes. Taxis (costs 20-40 Kuna, ask first) will also be waiting, however, be advised they have a reputation for ripping off tourists, charging much more than the officially posted rate (as much as five times higher). Do the world a favor and catch public transport or walk - walking will take you about 10-20 minutes dependent upon your location in the Old Town.
The train station is located at the intersection of Ulica Ante Starčevića and Ulica Ante Starčevića (lat/long 44.106647,15.241961), right next to the inter-city bus station.
A few slow trains a day run to [wiki=f1caba4d97489c0279c46ba7763cdf61]Knin[/wiki] and connect into trains for [wiki=b827d268b3e75abe3c4419d959d93998]Zagreb[/wiki] (5,5 hours or 8,5 with overnight trains) and [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki] (3.5 hr). Virtually nobody uses this train to get to these cities. Train to Knin is one carriage long with no A/C and can be quite uncomfortable, however the scenery is beautiful and will leave you in wonder at the numerous stations which appear to be in the middle of nowhere.

Zadar is a stop on lots of Adriatic and Med cruises. The ships normally dock at the "new" ferry port south of the town center, and not particularly walking distance to the center. A shuttle will normally be offered to the Old Town by your cruise line, often for a fee, and will take around 15mins.
There are many excellent pizzarias throughout the old town -- offering massive slices of pizas for around 10.00kn.
Otherwise enjoy a burek or other pastries from one of the local bakeries.

The old town lacks hotels, but has many apartments. These can be very good. The bars can stay open until early in the morning and the noise can carry in the small streets, so it is worth trying to identify where the largest collection of bars is.
