About this tour
This session walks Prokurative, a neoclassical square in Split often compared to Venice's main piazza, arcades on three sides and open toward the harbour on the fourth. You see the arcades themselves and then the open side, still used for concerts and markets today. It is a square that gets far less attention than the palace despite sitting minutes away.
We start under the arcades with a sound check, then move to the open side for the second stop, taking questions about the square's design and its current use. A short note follows once we finish.
It suits anyone who wants Split beyond the palace walls specifically. It also works well as a short add-on to a longer historical session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Split before heading out.
-
The arcades 15 min
The camera follows the neoclassical arcades lining three sides of the square, and I explain why it is often compared to Venice's main piazza.
-
The open side 15 min
We move to the square's open side facing the harbour, and I point out how it still fills for concerts and markets today.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Split: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Dalmatian pršut and Diocletian's Palace, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Zagreb time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
