The best free things to do

01

Get lost in the old town

The whole island is the attraction. Wander the stone lanes between the cathedral, the gates and the waterfront — it costs nothing and it's best early or late.

02

Walk the Riva at sunset

The waterfront promenade fills with locals in the evening passeggiata. Grab an ice cream and join in — see our sights guide.

03

Swim before breakfast

The Čiovo coves are quietest first thing. A morning swim in clear water is the most Trogir way to start the day.

04

Browse the green market

Fruit, cheese and olive oil by the bridge — perfect for a beach picnic and a glimpse of everyday Trogir.

Make a proper trip of it

Base yourself in or beside the old town and you'll have all of this on your doorstep. See our best hotels in Trogir guide.

FAQ

Things to do in Trogir — common questions

How many days do you need in Trogir?

Half a day is enough to walk the old town, but two to three days lets you add the beaches on Čiovo and a day trip to Krka, Hvar or the Blue Lagoon. Most visitors find three days the comfortable sweet spot.

What are the best free things to do in Trogir?

Wander the UNESCO old town, stand on the main square framed by the Loggia and Cipiko Palace, walk the Riva promenade at sunset, and swim from the public beaches on Čiovo. The old town itself costs nothing to explore.

What is there to do in Trogir when it rains?

Visit the Cathedral of St Lawrence and climb the bell tower, see the Kairos relief in the St Nicholas monastery, linger over a long lunch in a konoba, or take the short trip to Split's covered markets and Diocletian's Palace.

Is Trogir better than Split for things to do?

Trogir is smaller and prettier with a calmer pace, while Split has more nightlife, museums and transport links. Many visitors stay in Trogir for the atmosphere and treat Split as an easy half-day trip 20 minutes away.
