Split: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Layers of History

Explore Split on a self-guided audio walking tour for first-time visitors curious about Roman remains, medieval streets, and the city’s everyday life. Hear how emperors, kings, and local communities shaped a historic center that still feels lived in today. Begin at the Bronze Model of Old Town, where the layout of Diocletian’s Palace comes into view. Continue through People’s Square and the Jewish Quarter to the Peristyle, then descend into the palace substructures and visit the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. From the Golden Gate, the route leads along broad Marmont Street, shaped during French rule, before reaching the palm-lined Riva Promenade. The walk concludes in Fruit Square, amid cafés, historic façades, and the bustle of local life. Along the way, take in the contrast between palace lanes and open boulevards, discover how Roman spaces found new uses, and experience the city’s history alongside its daily rhythm. Memorable moments include standing beneath the Peristyle’s columns, hearing your footsteps echo in the ancient substructures, and soaking up the harbor atmosphere on the Riva.
