How to Get to Burnum#

Burnum is located inland from the Dalmatian coast, accessible by road from Šibenik or Knin. Driving is the most practical way; regional roads approach the archaeological park and there is limited parking near the site. Check local tourism offices in Šibenik for opening status and directions.
