Split Insider Tip

People actually live inside Diocletian's Palace — apartments, cafés, and bars occupy the Roman emperor's retirement home. Walk through the golden gate at dawn before the crowds arrive. The Riva promenade is the evening social scene.

Marrakech Insider Tip

Bargaining in the souks is mandatory — start at 30% of asking price.

🇭🇷 Split Fun Fact

Split's old town is literally a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian built his palace in 305 AD to retire into, and citizens simply moved in after his death — making it one of the best-preserved Roman monuments with people still living inside.

🇲🇦 Marrakech Fun Fact

The University of Al-Qarawiyyin in nearby Fez, founded 859 AD, is the world's oldest continuously operating university.
