- Pag Old Town (Grad Pag) — A compact, stony maze of narrow streets and Venetian-era squares that feels like someone froze a medieval Dalmatian town in place; walk the grid, poke into churches and courtyards, and you get the clearest sense of Pag’s history and urban character.
- Paška čipka — Pag Lace Gallery and Workshops — The island’s famous handmade lace is alive here: you can watch artisans work, see historic pieces up close, and buy authentic Paška čipka — a real cultural craft that tells Pag’s feminine, domestic history better than any plaque.
- Museum of the Island of Pag (Muzej otoka Paga) — Small but dense: archaeological finds, traditional tools, and exhibits about salt, sheep farming, and island life. Perfect when you want context for everything you’ll see wandering the town.

- Church of the Assumption (Crkva Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije) — The town’s main church with carved altars, old paintings and a bell tower that dominates the skyline; stepping inside and climbing nearby viewpoints connects you to centuries of local religious life.
- Knežev dvor & City Loggia — The old civic buildings around the main square (loggia, governor’s house) are classic Venetian-administration leftovers — good for appreciating Pag’s political past and for people-watching from a shaded bench.
- Pag Harbor and the Riva — The waterside promenade where fishermen, cafes and small boats meet. Mornings are especially alive: fresh catch, locals chatting, and a relaxed seaside atmosphere that’s the everyday face of Pag.
- Salt Museum and nearby salt pans (Solana) — Pag’s salt is legendary; the museum and the visible salt pans explain the process and let you see salt harvesting up close. It’s a tactile, smelly, oddly beautiful landscape that shaped the island’s economy for centuries.
- Paška sirana — Cheese dairy and tastings — Paški sir (Pag cheese) is the island’s culinary calling card. Visit a town dairy or shop for samples and tastings to understand why the sheep and their sparse salt-scented pastures produce such a distinct cheese.
- Remnants of the medieval walls and towers — Walkable stretches of defensive walls and surviving towers give you a physical sense of how Pag protected itself; the viewpoints from those spots are great for photos and for seeing the patchwork of town, salt fields, and sea.
- Local konobas, market stalls and everyday food scene — The best way to know Pag is by eating: family-run taverns and the town market serve lamb, fish, cheese and wine in honest portions. It’s where local life, recipes and hospitality come together.
