Most travelers think they’ve seen Split after wandering through Diocletian’s Palace and along the Riva. But what if I told you the city’s real magic hides in its quiet alleys, ancient walls, and stories only a local can share? Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the layers of history and charm that make Split unforgettable. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its true spirit stays hidden. Our Walking Tour in Split changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, revealing both famous landmarks and secret corners. Discover the authentic Split, beyond the surface.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 15.
Walk through a historic green space where locals gather, and see the statue of Marko Marulić, the father of Croatian literature.
Stroll along the waterfront promenade lined with palm trees, cafes, and historic buildings, where locals and visitors enjoy the sea breeze.
Walk through the underground basements of Diocletian’s Palace, once used for storage, and emerge at Peristil, the central square where the emperor was worshipped.
Enter through the northern gate of Diocletian’s Palace, once used exclusively for the emperor and guarded by Roman soldiers.
There are a few more stops along the way, but we’ll keep those as a surprise to make your experience even more special.

We had a great time on this tour thanks to our guide. We were in a small group, which made it easier to hear all the interesting stories our guide had to share. I'm taking home wonderful memories of Split, not only for its architecture, but also for its history and culture. I recommend it to all travelers who come to this beautiful city!
This city is a lot of fun to explore. On this walking tour, we were able to visit all the Roman ruins located in the center of Split. This city reminds me a lot of Venice, but of course without the canals. At the end of the tour, the guide gave us a couple of hiking tips and names of beaches to visit.
So far, Split has been one of my favorite cities in Croatia. Its castle and beaches are something you won't find anywhere else in the world. The people in Split are very friendly. I'm very grateful for such a wonderful experience.
We stopped in Split as part of our cruise trip. We loved this city because it's medieval, and much of the city center is located within what was once Diocletian's Palace. Another attraction I loved during this tour was the Split Cathedral. This building has impeccable architecture and is very well preserved.
This was ONLY the palace. Plus to see more interesting parts of the palace u have to return & tour urself. Ana was a very nice guide but a bit difficult to understand and had a soft voice.
