The weather on April 19th and 20th is perfect for exploring this historic city. With temperatures hovering around 57°F and partly cloudy skies, it’s an ideal time to stroll through Trogir’s ancient streets.

As the sun sets at 7:43 PM, the city takes on a magical glow, perfect for an evening walk along the waterfront.

One recent review captures the experience perfectly:

“Amazing half day trip - We had a wonderful half day boat trip from Split! It was the highlight of our time in Split. We explored the historic town of Trogir, jumped off the boat in the Blue Lagoon and explored another island. Ivan and Maria were wonderful guides, and remained flexible and perceptive of the preferences of the group. They were so energetic and fun ensuring the group had an amazing time. Would highly recommend this trip!” (Reviewed on 2024-11-19)
