Split private history walking tour of the old town
Join a walking tour of Split, a 1700-year-old city and an ancient Roman city-palace protected by UNESCO. Stroll through the old town, the Palace of Diocletian, and its cellars, and learn about the city's rich history.
Start your tour at Golden Gate, following your guide to the Golden Gate and Đardin Park, Peristyle and Mausoleum, Temple of Jupiter, Vestibule, Pjaca (People's Square), and Fruit Square (Voćni trg).
Imagine replacing your head with the Sphinx’s, answering the Sphinx’s riddle, discovering the dark cellars of the palace, passing through the “human mousetrap,” and admiring the oldest cathedral in the world with a stunning bell tower.
Along the way, learn about Emperor Diocletian, the greatest persecutor of Christians, and discover why he vomited after dinner. Uncover how much the Venetians paid for Split. Find out why a headless Sphinx guards the entrance to Jupiter’s temple.
See the cellars where Khaleesi’s dragons were chained and where the Unsullied fought the Sons of the Harpy. Ending your walk at the Riva, get recommendations on how to spend the rest of your day and which islands to visit. Also, see what the locals eat and where to find Dalmatian specialties.
