Overview

Discover the magic of Split after dark on this 1-hour evening walking tour of the Old Town and Diocletian's Palace. Join us on a walking tour led by a guide who grew up inside the walls of Diocletian’s Palace. While most kids grow up in apartment buildings, your guide’s childhood backyard was a 1,700-year-old Roman palace.

Born and raised within the walls of Diocletian’s Palace, your guide knows these streets better than any map. For them, the palace isn’t just a UNESCO site — it’s home, full of personal stories, family memories, and a few secrets the stones still haven’t told. Learn about the Roman emperor Diocletian, the palace’s architecture, and the stories hidden in ancient squares and alleys. Experience Split’s unique blend of ancient and modern life as the city glows under evening lights. Perfect for a quick introduction or for those who want to enjoy the charm of Split in a short, engaging tour. Your guide will meet you at the Grgur Ninski statue with a black umbrella.

What to expect

  1. 1h
    At the heart of Split lies the remarkable Diocletian's Palace, one of the most impressive Roman monuments still standing today. Built in the early 4th century as the retirement residence of the Roman emperor Diocletian, the palace was designed as a fortified complex combining a luxurious imperial villa with strong defensive walls and towers. After the fall of the Roman Empire, local residents sought refuge within its walls, gradually transforming the palace into a living city. Over centuries, medieval houses, churches, and narrow streets developed inside the original Roman structure. Today, the palace forms the historic center of Split and is protected as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ancient history and modern life exist side by side.
