Discover Split's Old Town and explore the Palace
Overview of your tour
A unique, private Palace Tour where you get to discover a living 1, 700 year-old city and enjoy a wonderful grilled lunch with the fish that we buy together! Under the watchful eye of our local guide we'll visit the city's bustling fish market to learn about Adriatic fish. Then, depending on what you like, we will buy the freshest and bring it to an authentic local konoba where it will be cooked to order when we return from our walk.
After visiting the fish market, we will tour the Palace and include off the beaten track experiences as well as the Cathedral, Jupiter's Temple and more. A visit to the 3rd oldest synagogue in Europe is included if you wish as well. Our Sights and Tastes of Split program is an authentic immersion through the amazingly well preserved Palace and its substructures allowing you to experience just how Split evolved into the vibrant, living city it is today.
Your tour itinerary
After meeting with our guide, it's off to the Fish Market, followed by our first "surprise" an ancient hidden monastery; now the city's only Orthodox Christian church; then along the waterfront; inside the Palace walls; its glorious Roman colonnaded Peristyle and our second surprise--the original street and sewer system;
Then inside the Cathedral, Jupiter's Temple; behind the Cathedral to the Emperor's living area; the Vestibul, quick peek into a hotel carved out of history; see the hidden West Wall; Jewish Synagogue (3rd oldest in Europe) if you wish; to the North gate, then back into the basement to see how this amazing place stayed in one piece for all these years. Lunch!
