We will walk along the Cardo, the former main street of the palace and admire the Golden Gate. Then we will move on through the old town, to the Pjaca and the fruit market. Marvel at the rich offer at the fish market and, if you wish, treat yourself to a coffee or drink at the Procurative Square, where our tour ends.
You will hear many interesting anecdotes and stories about the city and its inhabitants. Immerse yourself in the eventful history of Split. Discover the sights of this city at your leisure and get a lot of background information along the way.
