YOUR BEST PRIVATE TOUR - amazing SPLIT, with tickets included

Please note, this is YOUR PRIVATE TOUR, so our whole itinerary is completely flexible, up to your preferences. Below please find our suggested itinerary / suggested sights: We are starting our tour at the Riva, the famous coastal promenade of Split - our city's living room! Your guide will introduce you to Croatia, Split and to our itinerary.

From the Riva promenade we will have a 10-minute introduction to one of the best preserved Roman monuments from the 4th century AD - an impressive palace built for the Roman emperor Diocletian. The palace initially served as Emperor's luxury retirement home, and later, in the 7th century, it was converted into the medieval city - the city of Split. We will enter the Palace through the Southern gate and explore its main parts in the following 90+ minutes.

From the Riva promenade we will enter the Palace through the Bronze gate and visit the most incredibly preserved 1700-year old basements / Diocletian's palace substructures. Your will learn in the basements about the life of Diocletian: how he became emperor, how he ruled, about his years of glory and about his final abdication and "retirement". We will talk about the construction of his Palace, about its ingenious architectural concept and about the precious stone from the island Brac that was used to build the Palace. We will explain why the nearby Roman capital town Salona was so important for the development of the town of Split in the 7th century and how the invaders from the north destroyed Salona and "helped" to convert the Palace into the medieval town - Split.

The central square of the Palace. It is surrounded by the most diverse architectural styles and monuments from the 3000-year old Egyptian, through ancient Roman period, different medieval styles (cathedral bell tower, noble palaces...), until the modern and contemporary ones...

This is a beautiful circular building, which served as Diocletian's lounge - it was the entrance to the Emperor's private chambers. And sometimes we would have opportunity to enjoy amazing Dalmatian choirs - "Klape" - singing here!

Easter Palace gate and the beginning of the main Decumanus street

A great local chocolate producer. We will treat you with a couple of sweet treats, with Mediterranean fruit / herbal flavors.... *Unfortunately, closed on Sundays, when we'll have to skip this visit*

The biiiiiig statue of the famous Croatian archbishop from the 10th century - a work by the most famous Croatian sculptor, Ivan Mestrovic.

We will visit the 16th century-Medieval Jewish Ghetto. Also, if you are interested in visiting, there is a 3rd oldest operating synagogue in Europe here in Split...

The main entrance to the Palace. We will talk about the "people trap" Gate's concept, about the Roman streets Cardo and Decumanus, and about the road to Salona, the ancient Roman capital town.

The main square of the Medieval town Split. The City Hall building and many other beautiful palaces can be seen around this square.

Vocni trg (Fruit's Square) is the second most important square of the medieval Split. It is the former market place. At the center of the square stands a statue of Marko Marulic, a prominent Croatian poet and humanist from the 15th century - the "Father of Croatian literature".

Prokurative Square in Split, Croatia, is a beautiful open space surrounded by neo-Renaissance buildings, often hosting cultural events and outdoor performances. With its elegant architecture and bustling atmosphere, it is often compared to St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy, known for its stunning palaces and historic landmarks.
