A two-hour drive brings you to Croatia's second city -- Split -- the product of 17 centuries of building, renovating and remodeling. Amazingly, the new of today meshes well with the old of yesteryear. The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace of Emperor Diocletian, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 4th century AD. What began as an imperial residence and fortified camp is today an intriguing warren of narrow cobblestone streets, where pre-Romanesque churches dwell alongside Gothic chapels, history-filled museums, galleries of contemporary art and charming restaurants compete with bustling cafés for your attention. Your walking tour starts with a visit to the cellars of the palace. These are still very well preserved and offer a good glimpse of how the life in the palace was organized. You will also visit the Cathedral of St Duje (Patron Saint of the city) and the Temple of Jupiter. You will see the Golden Gate, the Silver Gate, and Peristyle Square from the outside. At the end of the tour you will have plenty of time for independent exploration followed by lunch served in typical restaurant situated next to the Diocletian Palace.

Notes:

Travel time is two hours each way. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
