People of Split - meet the locals
Overview
This is not a tour about the past.
It’s about the present that lives inside the past.
We’ll walk through Diocletian’s Palace and the Old Town—not to recite history, but to meet the people who carry it.
This tour is about the pulse of Split today, told through voices that rarely make it into the history books.
We’ll step into a working bakery, a filigree workshop where silver threads become heirlooms.
We’ll walk through streets where one of the oldest synagogues in Europe still stands.
We’ll pass the local Muslim community, where faith and daily life meet quietly.
And as we move, you’ll see Diocletian’s Palace for what it really is:
Not a monument but a neighbourhood.
This is a city that never stopped being lived in.
The stones are old, but the stories are ongoing.
