1Prerada bakery
We will start our tour with a medieval dish from the Ottoman Empire called Burek, which has remained a part of our modern food culture ever since. We still use many words and customs from the Ottomans. This dish will take you back in time — and we still love it!

2Green Market
This was my private library of fresh produce for everyday use as a chef. Together, we will try some of our most famous products, such as prosciutto, cheese, olive oil, bread, and the humble “soparnik.” This is where locals come every day to enjoy fresh ingredients for lunch or dinner. And you’ll also hear about the Roman feast!
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Riva Harbor
This is the heart of the city — our waterfront called the Riva! Here, we locals gather for a cup of coffee that lasts for several hours. We call it “fjaka,” a mental state meaning the art of doing nothing. Everything happens here in the city. From this spot, we will begin exploring the Roman Empire’s history, Diocletian’s Palace, and the modern city of Split today.

4Diocletian Palace Substructures
You will enter Diocletian’s Cellars, explore the main section, and walk through Diocletian’s Palace, where the emperor lived with his family. Discover fascinating history and architecture created by hardworking men, women, and slaves. It is also a filming location for Game of Thrones — the “Dungeon of Dragons.”

5The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace
The main square of Diocletian’s Palace is where we will see the third-century-old Temple of Jupiter, which is now the Catholic Cathedral of Saint Domnius. This ancient square is surrounded by mighty Egyptian columns.

6The Golden Gate
At the time, this was the main entrance to the palace — the most luxurious, marked by the four statues that once stood here. Nearby, we will see the statue of Gregory of Nin, created by the famous local sculptor Ivan Meštrović. I’ll tell you the rest once we’re there.

7Temple of Jupiter
The Temple of Jupiter, the main god of the Roman religion, is now a museum. There, we will see one of the Egyptian sphinxes taken as a war trophy, as well as one of the smallest streets in the city, called “Let Me Pass.” This is where we will have our lunch — fresh local white fish or fish stew.

8Narodni Trg
Here, we will see our medieval city hall, now a museum. We call it the People’s Square, or “Pjaca.” It is one of the most recognizable parts of Split, where locals tend to hide from the heat of the waterfront. There, we will also enjoy a local treat — ice cream from Gelateria aMare, considered one of the best in town.
