Diocletian's Palace
Diocletian's Palace is not a museum behind a gate. It is the living heart of Split's old town, a Roman emperor's retirement palace that the city grew into over 1,700 years.
Walk in Split
Split Marjan Peninsula Walk
The Split Marjan Peninsula Walk is a self-guided half-day route from the Roman palace to the forested peninsula and back along the coast. Free. Start at Diocletian’s Palace, walk the Riva promenade west, climb Marjan Hill through the pine forest to the summit viewpoint, descend to the swimming spots on the south shore, and return along the coast to Bacvice Beach. Budget travelers cover the full range of Split in one walk: Roman history, Mediterranean nature, and Adriatic swimming.
