About this activity
Explore one of Europe's best-preserved Roman palaces on a guided 2-hour walk through Split's UNESCO-listed Diocletian's Palace, built in the 4th century. Your local guide reveals the palace's layered history—from imperial residence to medieval fortress to living neighbourhood—while you navigate underground cellars, ornate gates, and Europe's oldest cathedral.
Split is well-known for its archaeological, historical and cultural monuments - the most famous one being the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian - a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.
Meet your guide and take a walk through the 4th-century Diocletian’s Palace and see the ancient Cellars, Peristyle, the Golden and Silver gates, the oldest Cathedral in Europe - formally the Diocletian’s Mausoleum, and the Baptistery - the former Temple of Jupiter. Our guide will give you a local’s insight on today’s way of living in this town as well as the historical overview.
Enjoy some free time after the tour to explore more of the Palace.

Insider tips
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip; palace floors are uneven stone and can be slippery when wet
- ★Ask your guide about the palace's double life as both imperial Roman seat and modern residential neighbourhood—locals still live within its walls
- ★Visit early morning (before 09:00) to beat cruise-ship crowds that arrive midday
- ★The cellar section can feel damp and cool; bring a light layer even in summer
