About this school trip

Split is a unique destination for a study trip on the Roman world and tourism. The historic centre with Diocletian's Palace has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Emperor Diocletian had the palace built around the year 300 as a mix of luxury villa and Roman military camp. People still live and work within the ancient walls, giving your pupils a living example of heritage.

The Peristyle was the ceremonial heart of the palace and is now a lively square. In the vaulted cellars beneath the palace, the substructures, pupils see how the Romans built. Along the Riva, the promenade by the palace's southern façade, and on the coast, pupils investigate how a popular city deals with tourism, harbour activity and coastal management.

We would be delighted to take care of transport to Split for you and your pupils. Split is a long way off, so we plan the journey with plenty of rest breaks and an overnight stop on the way. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver, your group travels there and back safely and in a relaxed way.
