Split is one of the best cities in Croatia to explore on foot. The historic center is compact, atmospheric, and packed with layers of history, from Roman ruins and medieval lanes to lively markets, waterfront cafés, and hidden courtyards. A walking tour is one of the easiest ways to understand the city, especially because so much of Split’s story is tucked into the walls and passageways of Diocletian’s Palace.

There are several different types of walking tours in Split, depending on what kind of experience you want. General history tours usually focus on Diocletian’s Palace, the Peristyle, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the Riva waterfront, and the old town’s narrow stone streets. These tours are great for first-time visitors who want to understand how Split grew from an ancient Roman palace into one of Croatia’s most exciting coastal cities.

Food tours are another fun way to experience Split, especially if you want to taste local Dalmatian flavors while learning about the city. Many include stops at markets, bakeries, wine bars, konobas, or small family-run food shops, with samples of seafood, cheese, olive oil, prosciutto, wine, pastries, or other Croatian specialties. Fans of film and television can also join Game of Thrones tours, which highlight filming locations around Diocletian’s Palace and explain how Split was transformed into parts of Meereen. Together, these tours make it easy to see Split from different angles: historic, cinematic, cultural, and delicious.
