Overview
Discover the timeless charm of Split, the vibrant heart of the Dalmatian coast and the gateway to Croatia’s stunning Adriatic islands. Rich in history, culture, and Mediterranean spirit, Split offers a unique blend of ancient heritage and modern coastal life.
Your journey begins with a panoramic drive through the city, accompanied by an expert local guide who will introduce you to Split’s most iconic landmarks and hidden stories. Pass by the famous Poljud Stadium, home of the beloved Hajduk Split football club, the lively Bacvice Beach known for its crystal-clear waters and local atmosphere, and the scenic Marjan Hill, the green oasis overlooking the city and sea.
The tour continues with a visit to the elegant Meštrovic Gallery, dedicated to the celebrated Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrovic, whose internationally acclaimed works earned him recognition as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century and a disciple of Auguste Rodin. Housed in Meštrovic’s former residence, the gallery is itself an architectural masterpiece, beautifully positioned along the coast and surrounded by tranquil gardens.
Step back in time as you continue into the heart of Split’s old town for a guided walking tour of the extraordinary Diocletian's Palace, one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 4th century. Wander through the remarkably preserved ancient cellars, admire the grand Peristyle courtyard, and pass through the historic Golden and Silver Gates that once guarded the imperial residence. Visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, originally built as Emperor Diocletian’s mausoleum and considered the oldest Catholic cathedral in Europe still in use today, as well as the Baptistery, formerly the Temple of Jupiter.
Throughout the experience, your guide will bring Split’s fascinating past and vibrant present to life, sharing stories of Roman emperors, medieval traditions, and everyday life in this unique coastal city. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to further explore the atmospheric stone streets, charming cafés, boutiques, and hidden corners of the palace at your own pace before your transfer back.
