Šibenik Neighborhoods: 4 Area Guides
Šibenik's quarters wrap around the old town: Dolac along the waterfront below it, Varoš on the slope to the north, and Meterize and Šubićevac on the hills beyond. These guides say what each area is like and how it connects to the cathedral and the fortresses.

Dolac, Šibenik: the Old Town Quarter Below St Michael's
Dolac is Šibenik's old quarter on the shore below the fortress of sv. Mihovil, packed with stone houses and threaded with lanes that climb towards the walls. This guide explains where it sits, how to walk into it from the Riva and cathedral, what the climb asks of you, and who the quarter suits.
Meterize, Šibenik: What This Residential District Is Like
Meterize is one of Šibenik's named city districts, a residential quarter above the centre with no headline sights. It suits travellers who want everyday Croatian town life and have a car, and it is a poor fit for anyone who wants to step out of the door into the old town.
Varoš, Šibenik: A Guide to the Old Quarter Above the Harbour
Varoš is a Šibenik quarter set beside Stari Grad and Škopinac on the slope below Barone Fortress, with Šibenik Cathedral and the Croatian National Theatre counted among the places of interest close by. Here is what the quarter is like to walk, what sits around it and who it suits.
Šubićevac, Šibenik: the Hill District Above the Old Town
Šubićevac is a residential hillside district of Šibenik rather than a sight in its own right. Its visitor value lies in the climb to St John's Fortress, the sunset from the highest point in the city and the stadium that hosts HNK Šibenik.
