2 Hour Walking Tour of Split with an Art Historian
Overview
Step into Split's captivating historic center with this expert-guided small-group walking tour. Led by Josipa, an Art Historian with ties to ongoing archaeological fieldwork, you’ll explore the city’s history, architecture, and culture from Roman times to today. Expect stories and facts not found in guidebooks.
Starting in Strossmayer Park, just outside Diocletian's Palace, you’ll journey through 17 centuries within the city’s Roman and medieval walls. On this 2-hour tour, you'll get to see all the iconic sights, along with a few lesser-known gems tucked away from the usual paths. Your guide will lead you through Split's Old Town, revealing Egyptian sphinxes, the splendor of Peristyle, the lively Riva waterfront, and so much more. Explore preserved 4th-century Roman architecture and how it’s been repurposed over the centuries. Learn what makes Split a unique UNESCO site.
Small group sizes ensure a personal experience with more opportunities for leisurely conversation.
