Overview

If you’re tired of tours full of numbers, names you can’t pronounce, and facts you forget by the next morning—this one’s for you.

This walk is about stories.
The kind you remember.

I’ll tell you about the man who built this city—Diocletian. Not as a statue, but as a person. One of the most powerful emperors in Roman history, and one of the most complicated.

You’ll hear about the people who lived inside these walls long after the empire fell—fishermen, traders, widows, workers, families. People like mine. People like yours.

This isn’t a history class. It’s a walk through time with someone who lives here.
No scripts. No umbrellas in the air. Just a conversation about a place I know well.

It’s a slower, more personal way to learn about Split—with space for questions, stories you’ll actually remember, and honest local tips on what to see, eat, and skip while you’re here

Riva Harbor

Let’s begin on the Riva — where life in Split really happens. People here don’t rush. They sit in the sun, drink coffee, talk, and watch the sea. Every corner has its own rhythm, its own group of regulars, its own story.From there, we’ll wander into the old town and Diocletian’s Palace. I’ll show you how locals still live among Roman walls, where laundry hangs between centuries and life continues in the same streets emperors once walked.We’ll stop for a bite, share a few stories that rarely make it into guidebooks, and see the city the way people here experience it — slowly, through taste, sound, and everyday moments

Diocletian Palace Substructures

Leaving the waterfront, we’ll step below the city — into the basements of Diocletian’s Palace. Down here, time feels close. You can almost sense the hands that shaped these stones 1,700 years ago.Each wall holds a trace of life built into it — stories of work, trade, and quiet endurance. This is where the city began, and where its pulse still echoes.

The Peristyle of Diocletian's Palace

Leaving small narrow streets we are now at Peristil, the open space of the imperial square. I will share intriguing stories that happened behind the city walls, stories about traditional and modern Split and our slow way of life (pomalo = take it easy, way of life).

Leaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter.

Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) Street

On our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is "The let me pass street".

Pjaca

When the ancient city walls could no longer contain life, Split began to grow westward. This area became known as the “new old town” — a place where northern and southern Europe meet in stone. Every street here shows a mix of influences, layered over time, yet still unmistakably Split.

Grgur Ninski Statue

The northern wall of the Place, in front of the sculpture of Grgur Ninski, is where we will end our tour. Here, we are surrounded by the 4th-century antique wall, 20th-century art and modern life today. We will respect the local tradition here and make a wish. Thank you for walking with me and allowing me to share my love for my town with you.
