Split Old Town Walking tour

Join me in exploring Split, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a 2-hour walking tour. Begin by visiting the Palace of Diocletian, a 4th-century Roman marvel and the heart of the Old Town. Wander through its alleys, showcasing a mix of architectural styles, and delve into the Palace’s Substructures (entry fee required). Admire Peristil Square, the grand fortifications, and see the Mausoleum (now St. Domnius’s Cathedral) and Jupiter’s Temple (both external visits). Next, discover the vibrant medieval area outside the Palace, including Split’s active fish market. Stroll through some famous squares: Pjaca, Fruit Square, and Prokurative, while learning about Split’s diverse history under Venetian, French, Austrian-Hungarian, and Yugoslavian rule. Finish your tour at the beautiful Riva promenade by the sea, where you’ll get recommendations on what to explore next by yourself. This tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and local life in Split.
