Historic City of Trogir

Reviewed By rockyjoe - Minneapolis, United States

The historic walled city of Trogir, Croatia is located on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the much larger island of Clovo. Trogir is also located about 20 miles west of Split, Croatia on the coast of the Adriatic Sea (a very easy day trip from Split). The center of this small town has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Venetian architecture and many of its original 13th – 15th century buildings are still intact. I visited this impressive walled city with my wife on a Saturday in late October and really enjoyed it. While the number of my fellow tourist was annoyingly high, I still enjoyed walking around Trogir. The city is very compact, and it appears that a lot of people still live here. The medieval streets are tiny and wind all around the island (I got momentarily turned around a couple of times). Highlights of this town include the historic city center square, the Fortress Kamerlengo, the entry gates and the small Cathedral. The best part is just walking around the skinny roads that wind in every direction. The town seemed safe and there did not even appear to be any pick pockets around. Overall, I enjoyed touring this walled city and highly recommend it if you are visiting Croatia. The next time I would like to stay here so I could see it in the morning and evening when most of the day trippers are gone.

Fort Lovrijenac

Reviewed By LucyFelthouse

Entrance here is included in your ticket if you have walked the city walls. It's a little bit of a trek to get here from the main city, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues, but it's well worth it. You pass stunning scenery on the way (and stuff you'll recognise if you're a Game of Thrones fan), and the fort itself is fascinating and provides amazing views back towards the city and over the bay/sea. Definitely worth checking out.

Beautiful city to explore the streets and look at architecture or if you are a game of thrones fan a chance to visit the set!! The main downside is the number of tour groups which crowd the streets so get there early or later in the day to avoid the majority.

Visit to Biokovo Skywalk was fabulous and exhilarating experience. Breathtaking view of Makarska Riviera and nearby islands, locals have horses, I highly recommend restaurant Vrata Biokova (The Doors of Biokovo) with delicious food and good service.
