Tribunj is a picturesque village and municipality in the Šibenik-Knin County of Croatia, known for its peaceful coastal cafes and rich history. It is located approximately three kilometers northwest of Vodice. The municipality includes the settlement of Tribunj and a small village called Sovlje to the west. Tribunj was established as a separate municipality in 2006 when it separated from the town of Vodice.
Srima, Vodice, and Tribunj are connected by a beautiful long and reconstructed coastal promenade-path.
The historical roots of the village go back to the Middle Ages when it was known as Jurjevgrad. It is famous for its small peninsula connected to the mainland by an old stone bridge. The old town, the heart of Tribunj, is situated on this small island. Here, traditional Dalmatian townhouses and narrow alleys create a unique atmosphere. The old town hosts many events throughout the year, including the well-known donkey race in August and various musical and dance events in the summer.
For those interested in exploring the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Tribunj, a visit to Mount Sveti Nikola is a must. The church of Sveti Nikola, built in 1452, is one of the town's most important landmarks. A short climb to the top of this 60-meter-high hill offers breathtaking views of Tribunj. The Tribunj promenade is another highlight, stretching from the marina to the historic town center and further to Zamalin Beach in the north. It's a picturesque path lined with restaurants and cafes, ideal for a morning walk as fishermen bring in their fresh catch.

Díky své ideální poloze je Tribunj populárním výchozím bodem pro plachetní výlety a lodní výlety na okolní ostrovy, včetně nedalekého Národního parku Kornati, Přírodního parku Telascica na ostrově Dugi Otok a Národního parku Krka.
