Welcome to the city of Split, often referred to as the flower of the Mediterranean. Its name dates back to the Greeks, but its fame was sealed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who decided to build his final palace here and spend his retirement days in this very place. This city is unique because its harbor is just a 15-minute walk from the center. In its turbulent history, besides Diocletian, Venice also left a significant mark. Join us on a special walking tour where, alongside a guide, you'll discover how this city lives today and how it lived in the past. Just one click separates you from a unique experience and a stroll through the UNESCO-listed palace.
What's Included
