Step back in time at the enthralling ruins of the ancient city of Salona and investigate present-day Split on this illuminating tour. Relax during a scenic coach ride to the remains of Salona, once capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and, at its peak, a thriving city inhabited by approximately 40,000 residents. You’ll learn it is Croatia’s most consequential excavation site, home to ruins of temples, amphitheaters, churches, burial grounds and baths. Following your exploration of Salona, return to Split’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site centered around the spectacular 4th-century Roman palace erected by the Emperor Diocletian. During your guided walking tour, marvel at the monumental cellars where the ample bounty of Croatia’s ancient vineyards was once hoarded. You’ll view the striking Cathedral of Saint Domnius, patron saint of the city, and admire the remarkably intact Temple of Jupiter. Appreciate free time to explore further or browse for souvenirs in a colorful open-air market, the Dalmatian Coast’s largest, and soak in the magical atmosphere of seductive Split.
