Without hiding their pride, the people of Split will tell you that their city is “the most beautiful one in the world and beyond.” This eternally young city has lived its urban rhythm for almost two thousand years, with its heart in the Diocletian’s Palace and its soul widespread to embrace you.

Day 1

Meet your local English speaking guide and explore “the most beautiful city in the world,” as its citizens proudly proclaim–a place where history reveals itself around every corner! The city has been inhabited by many different civilizations since it was first populated by the citizens of nearby Salona. Learn about the various cultures from your guide as you walk through the ancient city. After sightseeing, enjoy some Dalmatian delicacies at one of the numerous restaurants in city center. After lunch continue to Trogir, the historic city founded in the third century B.C. Walk through Trogir old town which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit St. Lawrence Cathedral, built in the 12th century, and the famous Kamerlengo Tower.  Return to Split and settle in your accommodations for overnight.

Day 2

Discover Mostar, the unofficial capital of the region of Herzegovina. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most. During the conflict of the 1990s, much of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge area, with its Pre-Ottoman, Eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and Western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities. Return to Split for overnight.
