Experience Details

Some places are best understood through their people. Split is one of them.


This tour isn’t about rushing from site to site. It’s about slowing down, feeling the city’s rhythm, and seeing how daily life and centuries of history live side by side.


We begin like locals do—over coffee. No hurry. Just time to take in the atmosphere.


Then we walk through spaces where life happens: Diocletian’s Palace, still full of homes and voices after 1,700 years. The Green Market, alive with tradition and conversation. Side streets and corners where real stories unfold—often missed by tourists, but essential to understanding the city.


Along the way, we talk about the people who shaped Split—fishermen, traders, families, and those who resisted change. Every generation left its trace, and Split carries them all.

Absolutely worth it. Thought we’d seen it all until we met Mirjana. We’ve now got so many more restaurants and bars to go too. 10/10.
