Discover the best of Split in a single tour in English!

🔁 Please note: Free guided tour, but please note: audio guides are compulsory on this tour. The cost is €2 per person, payable at the meeting point. Please bring the exact amount. We use audio guides on every tour to ensure the best possible experience at Diocletian’s Palace. The best 1.5-hour introduction to Split and Croatia, exclusively led by certified guides with over 500 tours under their belts. Around 1,700 years ago, the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to retire and build a vast palace on the Adriatic coast. Today, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the heart of Split. During our tour, you’ll explore the palace and its surroundings, see all the major sights, discover hidden gems known only to the locals, and hear stories from the past and present. The tour begins at the fountain in Josip Juraj Strossmayer Park, where you’ll be introduced to Croatia and Split. The monumental statue of Gregory of Nin tells the story of Croatia’s turbulent history and the struggle for our own language and culture. Don’t forget to touch his big toe! At the Golden Gate, you’ll learn more about Diocletian, a peasant boy who became emperor, and his life’s work: the palace in Split. The palace, which served as both a military garrison and the emperor’s residence, has been preserved in its original form. Highlights: ♥ Josip Juraj Strossmayer Park ♥ Golden and Iron Gates ♥ Peristyle Square ♥ Saint Domnius Cathedral ♥ Vestibule ♥ Diocletian’s Cellars ♥ People’s Square ♥ Statue of Gregory of Nin ♥ The Riva Promenade And as an extra after the tour, you’ll receive handy tools to help you explore Split like a local: a map with recommended places to eat, sights to see and even our personal ‘Black List’ — yes, those places we’d rather advise against 😉 All carefully curated to make your stay easier, more enjoyable and more authentic. 💶 Price & Booking: There’s no fixed price.
