Highlights
- The Prokurative and the old theatre square

- The old Split dialect, spoken at the table
About this tour
This session goes through the back streets of Varoš and Lučac, away from the main palace route through Split. The camera moves from the Prokurative and the theatre square into the stone courtyards of Varoš, then on to a small parish church in Lučac and a family-run bar at the end. It is built around neighbourhoods most visitors pass without stopping in.
After a sound check, the walk moves street by street through the two neighbourhoods, with the guide answering questions about the old Split dialect and local habits as they come up. A short glossary of dialect words used on the walk follows once the call ends.
This suits anyone who has already seen the palace and wants Split beyond it, or anyone drawn to how a city sounds and speaks rather than just how it looks. It also suits someone curious about the local dialect and how different it is from standard Croatian.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 9 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.
-
Theatre square and the Prokurative 19 min
The camera opens on the Prokurative, the arcaded square built in a Venetian style facing the theatre, and the guide explains how the square is actually used today.
-
Varoš courtyards 19 min
Ducking into Varoš, the camera looks into small stone courtyards behind the street fronts, the kind visitors usually walk straight past without knowing they are there.
-
Lučac parish church 19 min
In Lučac, the camera reaches a small parish church at the centre of a neighbourhood that still runs at its own pace, away from the palace crowds.
-
A family bar in Lučac 19 min
At a family-run bar, the guide pours a glass of prošek to explain the sweet wine on camera, and talks through the old Split dialect still spoken at tables like this one.
-
Your questions 17 min
Time to ask anything about Split: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 8 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.
