Ticket combo with Olive Museum Stella Croatica and Klis Fortress: olive oil education, tastings, then GOT-era fortress views.
“The tour in the Olive Museum was super interesting. The guide shared a lot of information and facts about their local business. It was very nice to get a chance to taste what they make. Everything was super delicious. The tickets were also valid for the Klis Fortress which was very cool to visit.”
Prebook Zagreb’s Museum of Illusions ticket for 70+ exhibits, Europe-sized holograms, and photo-ready optical tricks for all day.
“The museum is very creative ( a little repetitive, but it's ok). It's a great place to take pictures with friends. I missed a little bit of organization in terms of having a path to follow (what in some way is good, because you can spend the time you want, but on the other hand…”
Half-day bus tour from Split to UNESCO Trogir, Stella Croatica Olive Museum, Klis Fortress views, plus Salona and Žnjan stops.
“it was a fantastic tour- (could have skipped the 15 min stop with the VR- kind of a waste)- long day but lots to see. beautiful Trogir, Salona and Klis. Stella Croatina was great but was hoping for more of a 'how they make the olive oil' rather than selling of the good but it…”

Half-day tour from Split combining UNESCO Trogir, the Underwater Museum in Jelinak Bay, and a Blue Lagoon swim with gear and aqua park time.
“Very nice tour to Trogir with its surroundings. Visit to Trogir town in compact form. Our guide explained interesting details and we explored the town satisfactorily.

Explore Cavtat’s Shell Museum with entry plus audio options. See 3,000 shells, learn science and myths, and enjoy a skip-the-line visit.
“This is a passionately and meticulously curated collection of shells.

I recommend getting the pass with…”
