Trogir UNESCO Old Town: Half-Day Tour from Split
About This Tour
Discover Trogir — a 2,300-year-old island city and UNESCO World Heritage Site just 30 minutes from Split. This guided half-day tour takes you through one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe, where Romanesque churches, Venetian palaces, and Renaissance courtyards line narrow stone streets surrounded by the Adriatic Sea on all sides. Your licensed guide brings the history to life at landmarks like the 13th-century Cathedral of St. Lawrence with Radovan's famous carved portal, the Venetian-era Kamerlengo Fortress, and the elegant Ćipiko Palace. After the guided portion, enjoy free time to wander at your own pace — browse artisan shops, grab a coffee on the Riva waterfront, or climb the cathedral bell tower for panoramic island views.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Trogir from Split and how do you get there?
Trogir is just 30 km (about 30 minutes) west of Split along the scenic Adriatic coastal road. This tour includes comfortable air-conditioned transport with hotel pickup, so you don't need to arrange anything yourself.
Is Trogir worth visiting on a half-day trip from Split?
Absolutely. Trogir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Its compact island layout means you can see the main highlights — cathedral, fortress, palaces — in a guided tour and still have free time left over. A half-day trip is the perfect amount of time.
What is Radovan's Portal in Trogir?
Radovan's Portal is the ornately carved main entrance to the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, created by master sculptor Radovan in 1240. It's considered the finest example of Romanesque sculpture in all of Croatia, depicting biblical scenes, zodiac signs, and everyday medieval life.
How much free time do we get in Trogir?
After the guided walking tour (approximately 1–1.5 hours), you'll have around 45 minutes to 1 hour of free time to explore independently — enough to grab coffee on the Riva, visit a shop, or climb the cathedral bell tower.
Is this Trogir tour suitable for children?
Yes, the tour is easy and stroller-accessible on most routes. Children enjoy the fortress views and waterfront. However, infant seats are not available in the vehicle and infants must not sit on laps. The tour is not wheelchair accessible due to some narrow stone streets.
