Overview

Welcome to the city of Split, often referred to as the flower of the Mediterranean. Its name dates back to the Greeks, but its fame was sealed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who decided to build his final palace here and spend his retirement days in this very place. This city is unique because its harbor is just a 15-minute walk from the center. In its turbulent history, besides Diocletian, Venice also left a significant mark. Join us on a special walking tour where, alongside a guide, you'll discover how this city lives today and how it lived in the past. Just one click separates you from a unique experience and a stroll through the UNESCO-listed palace.

  5. Riva Harbor
    15m
    The soul of the city, or rather its living room, is the waterfront (Riva). It's the place where, as a local, you can always meet someone familiar, and of course, it's a favorite spot for leisurely coffee sipping and soaking up the sun
  6. Fruit's Square (Trg Brace Radic)
    10m
    Fruit Square got its name from its historical function as a place where fruits were once sold. The statue of Marko Marulić, one of the most renowned Croatian writers, stands in the middle of the square as a tribute to his literary contributions. This square holds secrets of the past through its rich history of trade, cultural significance, and as a gathering place for the exchange of ideas over the centuries.
  7. Narodni Trg
    15m
    The Pjaca in Split is the main square in the historic part of the city. Located near Diocletian's Palace, it's characterized by a lively atmosphere, numerous cafes, restaurants, traditional shops, and artisanal craft stores. On the Pjaca, you can see significant buildings such as the City Hall, the Church of St. Lawrence, and the Papalić Palace. Additionally, various events, concerts, or local gatherings are often held here."
