Description

Start your tour on Split’s lively Riva promenade, the city’s sun-drenched waterfront lined with palm trees and cafés, where ancient history meets the Adriatic breeze. Step inside Diocletian’s Palace, built in the 4th century AD for the Roman Emperor Diocletian and today forming the heart of Split’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. Explore the palace cellars, the majestic Peristyle courtyard, and Diocletian’s former private chambers. Walk through the Bronze, Silver, Golden, and Iron Gates, the original entrances that once protected this imperial complex. Visit the stunning Cathedral of St. Domnius (Sv. Duje), once the emperor’s mausoleum and now one of the world’s oldest cathedrals. Climb its bell tower for panoramic views of the city and harbor. As you wander the maze of ancient streets, your guide will reveal how Roman foundations, medieval charm, and Venetian influence have shaped Split into the vibrant city it is today.
