Riva HarborLet’s begin on the Riva — where life in Split really happens. People here don’t rush. They sit in the sun, drink coffee, talk, and watch the sea. Every corner has its own rhythm, its own group of regulars, its own story. From there, we’ll wander into the old town and Diocletian’s Palace. I’ll show you how locals still live among Roman walls, where laundry hangs between centuries and life continues in the same streets emperors once walked. We’ll stop for a bite, share a few stories that rarely make it into guidebooks, and see the city the way people here experience it — slowly, through taste, sound, and everyday moments
-
Diocletian Palace SubstructuresLeaving the waterfront, we’ll step below the city — into the basements of Diocletian’s Palace. Down here, time feels close. You can almost sense the hands that shaped these stones 1,700 years ago. Each wall holds a trace of life built into it — stories of work, trade, and quiet endurance. This is where the city began, and where its pulse still echoes.
-
The Peristyle of Diocletian's PalaceLeaving small narrow streets we are now at Peristil, the open space of the imperial square. I will share intriguing stories that happened behind the city walls, stories about traditional and modern Split and our slow way of life (pomalo = take it easy, way of life).
-
Cathedral of Saint DomniusStanding on the only square within the palace - Peristil, you can not miss seeing the beautiful and tall bell tower. Almost hidden behind it, protected, is the Cathedral of Split. One of the smallest and oldest cathedrals in the world.
-
Temple of JupiterLeaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter. The location was chosen to signify the divine connection between the emperor Diocletian and Jupiter. The Ancient Roman God of the sky and thunder & king of the Gods. During the Middle Ages, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist
-
Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) StreetOn our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is "The let me pass street".
-
Narodni TrgWhen the ancient city walls could no longer contain life, Split began to grow westward. This area became known as the “new old town” — a place where northern and southern Europe meet in stone. Every street here shows a mix of influences, layered over time, yet still unmistakably Split.
-
Nadalina cokoladaThe day is better if we add a bit of chocolate to it. Walking towards the end of our tour, we will stop at one of my favourite chocolate places- Nadalina. I will share some stories about food production, while we have samples of locally flavoured chocolate.
-
The Golden GateThe Golden Gate (Latin: Porta Aurea) is one of the four main Roman gates into the Diocletian's Palace. The gate is on the road to the north, towards Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and Diocletian's birthplace. You will hear about the antique military strategy in the Palace and discover some hidden buildings nearby.
-
Grgur Ninski StatueThe northern wall of the Place, in front of the sculpture of Grgur Ninski, is where we will end our tour. Here, we are surrounded by the 4th-century antique wall, 20th-century art and modern life today. We will respect the local tradition here and make a wish. Thank you for walking with me and allowing me to share my love for my town with you.
