Diocletian's Palace, Dalmatia Travel Guide

Getting There

• Walking

  From the Riva (waterfront promenade), enter the Palace through the Bronze Gate (also known as the Southern Gate). This gate leads directly into the Palace cellars, offering immediate access to the heart of Diocletian's residence. Walking is free and the most immersive way to experience the Palace.

• Public Transport

  From Split's main bus or train station (located next to each other), Diocletian's Palace is a short walk. Alternatively, take bus line 9 from the station to Tržnica (Pazar). From there, it's a brief walk to the Silver Gate, one of the main entrances on the eastern side of the Palace. A single bus fare costs approximately €1 - €2.

• Taxi/Ride-Share

  Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are readily available in Split. A short taxi ride from the main bus or train station to Diocletian's Palace typically costs between €5 and €10, depending on traffic and the specific drop-off location near the Palace.

• Parking

If driving, the closest parking options are Riva Parking, Train Station Parking Lot, and Stari Plac Parking Lot. Stari Plac is the most affordable, at approximately €1.50 per hour.
