Description

Split is more than 1,700 years old and it's story began with a Roman emperor who chose to build his retirement home here in 3rd century. From that monumental structure grew the heart of the city. Starting just outside Diocletian's palace, you'll travel throught 17. centuries within the Roman and medival city walls. Join Laura, a certified guide and art history student, as she takes you throught the streets of Split with a unique blend of academic insight and local perspective. On this 90 minute tour we'll visit buildings from roman times, a 3,500 year old Egyptian sphinx and all the iconic landmarks, but also step off the beaten path to discover a few hidden gems most visitors miss. This tour isn't just a series of facts, it's a story about a city that grew within its walls and about the people who shaped it. It's the perfect way to begin your exploration of the city - with a local pespective and a curious gaze that looks for meaning behind facades and stories carved in stone.
