Overview

Professor of history and experienced local guide that started a new tour inside a city.
Visiting Diocletians palace is great, but visiting Palace, Medieval and modern Split is even better!
Feel history of roman Palace and start a journey through center of Split, filled with influence of Venice, Ottomans and Napoleon. Of course, all that with Game of Thrones locations, interesting facts and a dash of local life and legends.
The tour starts from Riva promenade and goes through the cellars all the way to the main ancient square. There we have an amazing view on Cathedral and medieval palacies. On the way to Silver & Golden gates we gonna pass the narrowest street in the world. Making a wish by touching a toe of Gregori of Nin statue is a must to do in Split.
After the Palace we will walk a modern main street and square and finish at main medieval square.
During a walk you will get a bunch of tips what to do and where to spend time in Split.
Private tours available on request.

The Golden Gate or "the Northern Gate", is one of the four principal Roman gates into the old town of Split. Built as part of Diocletian's Palace, it served as the main gate through which the Emperor entered the complex and was elaborately decorated to mark its status.
