Split Old Town - Highlights
Joined 2023
Split the second largest city of Croatia is a great place to see Dalmatian life-style the way it really is. The story of Split is already 17 centuries old, dating to the time the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to build his Palace where he wanted to spend the last years of his life.
The city has a cosmopolitan character and has just the right balance of tradition and modernity.
On the tour we will walk through the Old Town of Split for approx. a 2-hour sightseeing.
