Split city tour - extended tour (3-4 hours)

We will go for a walk in the streets and squares of Split for about 3-4 hours. Firstly, we will visit the Palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian of the 4th century (the oldest part of the town) with the small medieval neighborhood developed inside it - a very interesting mix of styles. We will also visit the Basement level of the Palace (the Substructures), the main square Peristil, the Palace walls with 4 gates, the Mausoleum / St. Domnius's Cathedral, Jupiter's temple / Baptistery, medieval houses of noble families, a small former Jewish ghetto with a synagogue that is still active...

​

The second part of the tour takes us to the medieval neighborhood built outside the Palace and, there, we will discover a fish market and a green market, some famous squares: Pjaca, Fruit square and Prokurative, and learn about the socio-political lifestyle under Venetian, French, Austrian-Hungarian and Yugoslavian rule. What a rich history!

​

Finally, we will go to Varoš, a charming 17th to 19th-century former fishermen's neighbourhood, where we will visit a small square called Šperun with many taverns (traditional local restaurants) that serve Dalmatian specialties, and we will start our ascent going up a stairway (approximately 100 steps) on the slopes of Marjan hill/ park all the way up to the 1st viewpoint and the old Jewish cemetery. You will get the chance to see a truly memorable view of the entire town, the mountain behind it, and the sea with the islands in front of it. A sight you will not forget! There is a little coffee shop close by where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the view!

​

We will end the tour on Riva promenade by the sea, or, if you prefer, at the viewpoint on Marjan hill.
