Split in one day starts inside a Roman palace and ends by the sea. The real choice is how to fill the day: a guided visit of the palace, the Riva in the middle and Marjan to finish.
Diocletian’s Palace is an ancient Roman imperial palace in Split, named after the emperor Diocletian. The Golden Gate and the Peristil, its central square, are parts of it, and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius stands within the palace.
A guided walk of about ninety minutes through the palace and the old town, in English or Spanish.
Two hours on foot through the old streets at your own pace, with a private guide, in English.
A four-hour walking tour that adds Klis Fortress to the palace, in English or Spanish.
The Grgur Ninski statue in Split is named after Gregory of Nin. It is a stop worth adding to a walk through the old town, and an audio guide can tell you what you are looking at.
A self-guided walk of about three hours through the old town, with audio in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian or Dutch.
About two hours at your own pace, with puzzles and the main highlights, in six languages.
An hour and a half on your own, solving clues and hearing the story of the old town, in English.
The Riva is a pedestrian street in Split, along the waterfront.
Marjan is a peninsula next to Kaštela Bay and the Split Channel.
If you want to leave the old town for a few hours, two guided tours add Trogir and Klis Fortress to your time in Split.
Five hours, private, with an English-speaking guide.
A small-group tour of about five hours from Split, in English or Spanish.
These options are alternatives, not one route. Decide whether the day is about the palace, the Riva or Marjan, then check the language and inclusions of the product you pick. See more things to do in Split.
That depends on what you choose. A guided tour of the palace and its streets takes about an hour and a half, and you can add the Riva and Marjan around it.
