Split Walking Tour

Explore the history-steeped city of Split with a
1.5-hour walking tour. Begin with a walk along the fashionable Riva promenade,
and then veer off down the narrow walkways that lead into UNESCO-listed
Diocletian’s Palace at the heart of Split Old Town. Wander amid ancient ruins
and see showstopper sights such as Peristyle Square and the Cathedral of St
Duje as you listen to your guide’s commentary about Emperor Diocletian and the
evolution of his illustrious palace. Explore, too, the eye-catching Republic
Square (Prokurative) before turning back onto the waterfront.

Make your own way to the
prearranged meeting point along Split’s pretty waterfront promenade, known as
the Riva. Then, after joining up your guide and group, set off to begin your
walking tour of the city’s sights. Stroll to Diocletian’s Palace, a fortress-like
imperial residence at the center of Split Old Town. Once home to thousands, the
UNESCO-listed remains include more than 200 buildings. Pay the entrance fee and
head inside its white, stone walls to see Peristyle Square, the Cathedral of St
Duje and the Roman Temple of Jupiter. As you wander, listen to your guide
regale you with tales of the extravagant Emperor Diocletian. Learn, too, how
the palace was featured in the hit HBO TV series Game of Thrones as the city of
Meereen. After, continue to Republic Square (Prokurative), a
Mediterranean-style plaza lined with striking neo-Renaissance buildings, and
pass by the Ivan Meštrović Gallery. Then, navigate your way through the
historical town’s narrow passages and hidden streets back to Riva, where your tour
concludes.
