Split tours
Walking tours
The Tourist Guide Service, run by the Udruga Vodica (Guide Association), and Split Tours both offer walking tours of Split's historic centre in a wide choice of languages and for groups or individuals. These take in the history of Diocletian's Palace and its most interesting parts, as well as key Venetian and Austro-Hungarian parts of the old core too.

Split excursions
Hvar
Hvar is undoubtedly one of the most striking of all the Croatian island towns, just a short ferry ride away from Split. Now a favourite of the international yachting community and trendy types from Zagreb, this chic oasis of cool bars and top-notch seafood restaurants enjoys a remarkable setting.

Salona
Just a few kilometres out of Split, towards the city's airport, lays the romantic remnants of the old Roman city of Salona. Emperor Diocletian himself was born in the city and today visitors can walk around the site and its sweep of ruins that were once home to 60,000 inhabitants.
