About this activity

Explore two of Dalmatia's most historically significant towns on this private 5-hour tour combining Split's 1,700-year-old Roman palace with the UNESCO-protected medieval charm of Trogir. Your guide takes you through layered history—from Diocletian's 4th-century chambers to Renaissance palaces—with flexibility to linger at your own pace.

Split is situated on a peninsula and surrounded by historical towns and settlements. We shall take a walk through the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace and its ancient Cellars, the Peristyle, Roman temples (today Christian ones) – the Cathedral and the Baptistery, and then the famous Golden Gate. After a sightseeing tour of the town of Split and some free time for individual exploring, we start our bus ride towards Trogir. 

Trogir is a small town under the cultural protection of UNESCO, which arose from the ancient Tragurion and is full of buildings and monuments testifying to its rich history. There stands the Cathedral with its famous portal made by the well-known local master Radovan, the City Loggia from the 15th century, the Ćipiko palace, the Town Hall, and the Benedictine monastery from the year 1064, where a Greek relief is kept representing Kairos (the God of auspicious moment). After sightseeing, free time for lunch.
