Tour description
Experience life inside a Roman emperor's palace on a free walking tour exploring Split's extraordinary Old Town. Alongside a local guide, you will enter the 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace from the Riva waterfront promenade, explore the atmospheric ancient cellars, and reach the colonnaded Peristyle at the center of the palace. Admire the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, built inside the emperor's mausoleum, and the ancient Temple of Jupiter, then pass through the Golden Gate to rub the lucky toe of the Grgur Ninski statue. Learn how people have lived inside these Roman walls for centuries, while picking up insider tips on peka, local wine, and the best hidden squares. Free to join — at the end of the tour, simply tip your guide what you feel the experience was worth.
