What to expect
Diocletian's Palace
The town is more than 1700 years old, founded within the walls of the Roman Palace. The Palace was built by one of the most interesting Roman emperors, the emperor Diocletian. Hence the name The Diocletian Palace. Walking the streets of the Palace in our small groups is one of the best ways we show respect to the residents and their history. Their ancestors inhabited the Palace area more than 1000 years ago creating an incredible blend of antique, medieval, and modern architecture combined with unique and vibrant living conditions and rituals locals still treasure. Joining our tour is the best introduction to the everyday life of Splićana (the people of Split). Walking around with our local guides, born and raised in Split, you will have the honor to walk the same path as Roman emperor Diocletian walked.

Green Market
It is no secret, however, that the way to a Dalmatian’s heart is through the stomach so one of the first stops will be the famous Green Market of Split. You will stop at the Greenmarket to meet some local vendors, and our guides will share their knowledge of the way locals buy at the Greenmarket. Let the local guides show you traditional and authentic food and share the stories behind it. You can make a wish at the golden toe of Gregory of Nin (Grgur Ninski), hear about majestic Hajduk, Split, and why you see this name everywhere, from the suburbs of Split to the old town area. Continue your royal adventure in the not-so-modest home of the emperor Diocletian. His colossal palace is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Monument and home to many but also a popular hangout for locals of Split and the cast of The Game of Thrones. As we wander into the heart of the city, Peristil, we’ll discover the secrets of Diocletian’s life hidden in the walls of the world’s best-preserved Roman palace.
