There is plenty to keep you occupied with a variety of outdoor activities ranging from sailing to just relaxing on one the many beautiful beaches.

Visiting the Palace of Diocletian is a must which the emperor Diocletian built for his retirement in the fourth century A.D. Built along the Dalmatian coastline the extensive palace encompasses a watchtower, a stunning villa, an enclosed courtyard, religious buildings, private apartments for the emperor, a residential complex. There is much more to see within the palace with its extensive detail and fascinating history.

If you would like to see some amazing views of the city then a trip to the Saint Duje's Cathedral is in order. Dating back to 305 A.D and thought to be the oldest cathedral in the world.
