The Journey
Diocletian's Palace
Step back in time at Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the heart of Split. Built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century AD as his retirement home, this remarkably preserved palace evolved into the city itself. Wander through its labyrinthine streets, discover ancient Roman temples (now churches), and witness the seamless blend of history and modern life. Explore the substructures, once the palace's support system, now echoing with the footsteps of centuries. Diocletian's Palace is more than just a historical site; it's a living, breathing monument to the enduring power of the past.
Riva Promenade
Experience the vibrant heart of Split at the Riva, the city's stunning waterfront promenade. Lined with swaying palm trees, charming cafes, and bustling restaurants, the Riva is the perfect place to soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere. Sip a coffee, watch the yachts bob in the harbor, and feel the pulse of Split's daily life. The Riva is the place to see and be seen, a vibrant stage where locals and visitors alike come together to enjoy the beauty of the Adriatic coast.
Marmont Street & Fish Market
Stroll down Marmont Street, Split's premier shopping destination, named after Napoleon's General Marmont. Browse the boutiques and local shops, but don't miss the opportunity to experience the chaotic energy of Split's fish market, located nearby. Witness the lively bartering and vibrant displays of fresh seafood, a true taste of local culture. This is where chefs and home cooks alike come to find the freshest catches of the day, making for an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Diocletian's Palace Cellars (Basements)
Descend into the depths of Diocletian's Palace and explore its remarkably preserved cellars. These subterranean chambers, once the foundation of the Emperor's grand residence, offer a unique glimpse into the palace's construction and history. For 'Game of Thrones' fans, recognize these atmospheric spaces as the Dragon's Dungeon, adding a touch of fantasy to your historical exploration. Wander through the ancient corridors, imagine the palace in its former glory, and feel the weight of history beneath your feet. The cellars offer a cool respite from the sun and a fascinating journey into Split's past.
Prokurative (Republic Square)
Discover the elegant beauty of Prokurative, also known as Republic Square, a grand open space in Split inspired by St. Mark's Square in Venice. Built in the 19th century, this picturesque square is framed by neo-Renaissance buildings, creating a stunning backdrop for events and gatherings. Enjoy the atmosphere, listen to live music, and soak up the Venetian-inspired architecture. Prokurative offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city streets, a place to relax and admire the beauty of Split's urban landscape.
