If you have to choose just one place among the things to do in Trogir, you’re going to fall short. This small city on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia is, without exaggeration, one of those places that leaves you speechless from the very first moment. We stayed for four nights in late July and walked it from end to end several times… and every time we found something new. In this guide, we share the 15 essential spots so you don’t miss anything, with a map, where to stay, and everything you need to know before you arrive.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati primeros parrafos 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15677″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

What is Trogir and why is it so worth it?<\/h2>\n

Trogir is a city built on an island of barely 1 km\u00b2, connected to the mainland by one bridge and to the island of \u010ciovo by another. Its old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, and the reason is evident the moment you cross the bridge and enter through the North Gate: every street, every palace, every church reminds you that you are stepping on more than two thousand years of history.<\/p>\n

It was founded by the Greeks in the 3rd century B.C., then came the Romans, the Saracens, the Venetians… and each one left their mark. The Venetians, in particular, transformed it profoundly during their nearly 400 years of rule: the architecture you see today has that unmistakable air of the Republic of Venice mixed with the Romanesque and Gothic styles of the Middle Ages. The result is a medieval center that looks like it was plucked from a movie.<\/p>\n

And if you still need another reason to visit: some scenes from the second season of Game of Thrones were filmed here. The city port served as a setting for the merchant port of Qarth. But beyond television tourism, what will catch you is walking on the polished marble cobblestones of the historic center \u2014 a detail you don’t expect and that gives the city a completely different light depending on the time of day.<\/p>\n

\n

We used Trogir as a base for almost a week: we took excursions to Krka National Park, Mostar, and Primosten with our rental car, and then returned to walk the stone streets at night. We recommend it like this: as a base, not just as a one-day stop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

1. St. Lawrence Cathedral \u2014 Trogir’s essential<\/h2>\n

Impossible not to start here. St. Lawrence Cathedral (Katedrala Svetog Lovre) is the most iconic building in Trogir and probably one of the most impressive in all of Croatia. It can be seen from practically anywhere in the city, and the 47-meter bell tower that blends three different architectural styles in three floors \u2014 Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance \u2014 is one of those details that shows you how long it took to build: from the year 1200 until 1589.<\/p>\n

What caught our attention most was the western portal, the work of Master Radovan (1240). It is covered in reliefs with figures of Adam and Eve, the apostles, scenes of the birth of Christ, and mythological creatures, all carved with a precision that gives you chills if you think it’s over 780 years old. Entry to the interior of the cathedral is free; if you want to see the complete cathedral plus the bell tower, the ticket is around 5 euros. We recommend it: the views from the top are spectacular. Hours vary by season \u2014 in summer it opens approximately from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with adjustments for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Inside, don’t miss the Chapel of Blessed John of Trogir, another masterpiece of 15th-century Croatian sculpture.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/catedral-san-lorenzo-trogir.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbst lawrence cathedral trogir\u00bb title_text=\u00bbst lawrence cathedral trogir\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

2. John Paul II Square (Trg Ivana Pavla II) \u2014 the heart of the city<\/h2>\n

If St. Lawrence Cathedral is the jewel of Trogir, John Paul II Square is the chest that guards it. It is the heart of the city and the point where everything is concentrated: from here you can see the cathedral, the Cipiko Palace, the Church of St. Sebastian with its Clock Tower, the Rector’s Palace, and the Venetian Loggia. Practically all the major monuments to see in Trogir are within sight from this single space.<\/p>\n

The Rector’s Palace (Kne\u017eev dvor), which today functions as the Town Hall, deserves a separate mention. Although its origin is from the 13th century, it was restored in the 19th in a Renaissance style. What many travelers don’t know is that you can enter the inner courtyard: it has a Gothic staircase and a well decorated with the Venetian winged lion that is pure history condensed into stone. Don’t just look at the facade.<\/p>\n

We spent a lot of time here, especially at sunset, when the locals go out for a drink at the terrace bars and the atmosphere becomes very pleasant. It is the perfect place to sit, order a cold drink, and soak up all that heritage that surrounds you without haste.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-trogir-plaza-juan-pablo.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in trogir john paul ii square\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in trogir john paul ii square\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

3. Cipiko Palace \u2014 pure Venetian architecture<\/h2>\n

Just in front of the cathedral, the Cipiko Palace (or Palazzo \u0106ipiko) is one of the most elegant buildings you will see on the entire Dalmatian coast. It was built in the 15th century as a residence for the powerful Cipiko family, one of the most influential in Trogir’s history. The facade stands out for its Gothic trifora \u2014 that triple window with arches \u2014 the work of sculptor Andrija Ale\u0161i, and for the typically Venetian balconies and reliefs.<\/p>\n

Many travelers agree that, although the interior is not permanently open to the public, it is worth stopping to look at the facade closely. Every detail tells a story.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

4. The Church of St. Sebastian and the Clock Tower<\/h2>\n

One of the most photogenic images of Trogir is the Church of St. Sebastian with its striking Clock Tower of almost 50 meters, topped by a red dome that gives it a very particular character. It was built on the remains of an old 11th-century church and became one of the visual symbols of the city. It is very similar to the one in Dubrovnik and, once you see it, it stays with you.<\/p>\n

Above the entrance door, you can see the statue of St. Sebastian, patron saint of soldiers. The image of the tower with the cathedral in the background is one of the most repeated in Trogir photos, and with good reason.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-trogir-plaza.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in trogir square\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in trogir square\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

5. The Venetian Loggia \u2014 six columns with centuries of history<\/h2>\n

Attached to the Church of St. Sebastian and also on John Paul II Square, the Loggia is that open portico supported by six Roman columns with carved capitals and a beautiful wooden ceiling. It was built at the beginning of the 14th century and reformed later. Today it functions as a public space where people sit, chat, and find shelter from the sun. There is a relief with Latin inscriptions about justice that many travelers overlook and which deserves a closer look.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

6. Kamerlengo Castle \u2014 Venetian fortress by the sea<\/h2>\n

Kamerlengo Castle (Ka\u0161tel Kamerlengo) is the other great monument of Trogir next to the cathedral. The Venetians built it in 1430 as a military watchpost and residence for the governor, at the southwest corner of the historic center where the sea surrounds the walls. The scene of this fortress with the Adriatic in the background is one of the most beautiful in Trogir.<\/p>\n

When we visited, you could explore the interior and climb the walls to get panoramic views of the sea and the historic center. In summer it is also usually used as a stage for concerts and cultural events. Although it is more impressive from the outside than from the inside, it is worth going in and climbing up. Entrance is around 3-5 euros.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/castillo-del-camarlengo-trogir.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbkamerlengo castle trogir\u00bb title_text=\u00bbkamerlengo castle trogir\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

7. St. Mark’s Tower \u2014 the end of the promenade<\/h2>\n

If you keep walking past Kamerlengo Castle along the seashore, you will reach St. Mark’s Tower (Kula Sv. Marka), a circular tower that was once connected to the castle by a wall that has since disappeared. What’s curious is that now, nothing separates it from the castle but a soccer field that the neighborhood residents use with total naturalness. A scene you don’t expect to find in a medieval city.<\/p>\n

It cannot be visited from the inside, but the walk there along the sea side of the wall is very beautiful.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

8. St. Nicholas Monastery \u2014 the only preserved female Benedictine monastery<\/h2>\n

Next to the South Gate of the wall, in the direction of Kamerlengo Castle, is the Monastery of St. Nicholas (Samostan Sveti Nikole). It was founded in 1064 and is the only female Benedictine monastery preserved in all of Trogir. The detail that caught our attention most: inside, it houses the marble relief of Kairos, the Greek god of opportunity and favorable moments, a piece of great value that most visitors don’t specifically look for. Many travelers recommend entering the church and the small collection of ecclesiastical art by paying a modest entrance fee. It is a very quiet space, away from the bustle of the main square.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=\u00bbads FILA 3 imagen EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb16396″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/travel-insurance-discount-iati.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb title_text=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/iati-seguros\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/booking-genius-discount.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/booking-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/internet-esim-Holafly-OFF.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/holafly-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

9. The North Gate (Land Gate) \u2014 the entrance to the medieval world<\/h2>\n

Everything starts here. The North Gate, also called the Land Gate, is where you enter the historic center of Trogir when crossing the bridge from the mainland. It dates back to the 17th century and above it, you can see the statue of Blessed Giovanni Orsini, patron saint and protector of the city. It is the only remnant still standing of the old medieval wall on the north side, and crossing it gives you the feeling that you are literally leaving the present to enter another era.<\/p>\n

Just after crossing the gate, on the right, is the Trogir Museum (Muzej Grada Trogira), located in the Garagnin-Fanfogna Palace. If you are interested in the city’s history from the Greek period to the present, stop by: it has archaeological objects, a library, and works of art. It opens approximately from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in high season, with an entrance fee of about 4 euros. We didn’t go in, but many travelers recommend it as an introduction to the tour.<\/p>\n

When we arrived by car, we parked just before the bridge and walked through here. It is the natural start of any tour of Trogir.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

10. The South Gate \u2014 the other exit to the sea<\/h2>\n

The South Gate is the counterpart to the North Gate: it faces directly onto the promenade and serves as a connection point between the inner streets of the historic center and the waterfront. It is smaller and more discreet than the north one, but it holds a detail that few notice: it still preserves the huge original wooden doors from the 16th century. Many travelers discover it almost by chance while touring the promenade, but if you arrive looking for it, you now know what to look at.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

11. The Promenade \u2014 the best place for an afternoon ice cream<\/h2>\n

The Trogir promenade is short \u2014 it doesn’t even reach 400 meters \u2014 but it is one of the most pleasant we walked along our entire route through Croatia. It has bars, restaurants with terraces over the water, craft shops, and a lot of local life mixed with tourists. At sunset, the atmosphere is especially lovely: the light over the water, the moored boats, and that Mediterranean rhythm that invites you to stay without doing anything in particular.<\/p>\n

We sat here more than one afternoon with an ice cream or a cold drink to watch time go by. We especially recommend it as the sun goes down.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/trogir-paseo-maritimo.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbtrogir promenade\u00bb title_text=\u00bbtrogir promenade\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

12. The Church of St. John the Baptist \u2014 the most forgotten Romanesque jewel<\/h2>\n

South of the cathedral, among alleys that most visitors don’t traverse, is the Church of St. John the Baptist (Sveti Ivan Krstitelj). It is a small 13th-century church, built by the Benedictine order over an old 6th-century early Christian church. Inside, you can see remains of medieval frescoes and the tomb of the Cipiko family \u2014 the same one that built the palace in front of the cathedral. It doesn’t have the fame of the cathedral, but it is one of those findings that one remembers with more affection precisely for that reason.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati Middle seguro de viaje (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15701″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

13. The Church and Monastery of St. Dominic<\/h2>\n

Half hidden between the promenade and the interior alleys, the Monastery of St. Dominic has its origins in the second half of the 13th century, although the church dates back to the 14th century. It is one of those buildings that one almost misses if one doesn’t look for it specifically, because access from the promenade is not immediate. It is worth searching for: the cloister was restored after its destruction in the Second World War and has a lot of charm, as does the main altar. A detail for Game of Thrones fans: some scenes from the series were filmed in this space.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

14. The streets and alleys of the historic center \u2014 getting lost is the plan<\/h2>\n

One of the best things to do in Trogir is not on any official list: just head out and get lost. The historic center has a network of medieval stone alleys so narrow that two people barely fit in some of them. The \u0160ubi\u0107eva and Mornaska streets are especially beautiful to wander through without haste. And there is something very few guides mention: the floor of many streets in the old town is made of polished marble cobblestones, which gives it a very particular luminosity depending on the time of day. A beautiful detail… although beware: if it rains, that marble becomes quite slippery. Wear rubber-soled footwear and forget about heels.<\/p>\n

The facades of the buildings are perfectly preserved, flower pots peek out of the windows, and from time to time a small hidden square appears where someone has a table and two chairs in the sun. It is those moments that make a visit to Trogir memorable.<\/p>\n

\n

We decided not to look at the map for an hour and just walk. It was one of the best decisions of the trip.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/que-ver-en-trogir-old-town.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in trogir old town\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in trogir old town\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

15. The beaches of Trogir and the island of \u010ciovo<\/h2>\n

One of the things to do in Trogir that many underestimate is crossing the \u010ciovski bridge to the island of \u010ciovo, which is just across the canal. In a few minutes on foot, you can reach some coves and beaches with clear water where you can swim. The most well-known are Okrug Gornji, M\u00e9dena, and Panta Beach \u2014 turquoise waters, white pebbles, and lots of life in summer. In July, with the heat, we ended up in the water more than one afternoon.<\/p>\n

Another option that is worth it is to cross the \u010ciovski bridge to the marina on the other side: from here you have one of the best panoramic views of the entire historic center of Trogir, with the medieval rooftops silhouetted against the Adriatic. And catamarans and sailboats leave from the marina for cruises through the Croatian islands for several days. If you stay a few days in Trogir, it can be the perfect starting point to explore the archipelago.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Itinerary to see Trogir in 1 day<\/h2>\n

If you only have one day, this is the order we would recommend after having thoroughly toured it:<\/p>\n

Morning:<\/strong> Enter through the North Gate and walk to John Paul II Square. Visit St. Lawrence Cathedral (climb the bell tower) and then take time to observe Cipiko Palace, the Clock Tower, and the Loggia. Turn into the interior alleys towards the south, look for the Church of St. John the Baptist and St. Nicholas Monastery next to the South Gate.<\/p>\n

Midday:<\/strong> Lunch at one of the restaurants on the promenade with a sea view. They aren’t cheap in high season, but the experience is worth it. If you want something more economical, there are options in the interior streets.<\/p>\n

Afternoon:<\/strong> Walk along the promenade to Kamerlengo Castle and climb the walls. Continue to St. Mark’s Tower. On the way back, cross to \u010ciovo for a swim. Finish with an ice cream or a drink in the square at sunset. It is the perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
