Apartman Sunset › Trogir Guide › The best of Trogir in a day
A whole UNESCO old town in a few car-free streets — here's how to see the best of Trogir in a day, five minutes from your door.
What to see
Cathedral of St. Lawrence & Radovan's Portal — Trogir's landmark cathedral, built mainly from the 13th century. Its 1240 west portal by master Radovan is the finest medieval sculpture on the Adriatic; climb the 47 m bell tower for rooftop views.
Kamerlengo Fortress — a 15th-century Venetian fortress on the western tip of the island. Walk the walls for views over the sea, the marina and the old town.
The Riva (seafront promenade) — Trogir's palm-lined waterfront along the channel to Čiovo, lined with cafés and moored boats; the place for an evening stroll, a coffee or to catch a boat trip.
Ćipiko Palace & the main square — the Renaissance palace of Trogir's leading noble family faces the cathedral across the main square, with the loggia and town hall close by.
The town gates & stone streets — enter through the historic land and sea gates and wander the labyrinth of churches, palaces and tiny squares; the whole core is a museum you walk through.
Day trips from the Riva — once you've seen the town, the Riva is the launch point for the Blue Lagoon, while Split and Krka National Park are an easy drive.
Good to know
Easily a full day on foot: visit the Cathedral of St. Lawrence and Radovan's portal, climb the bell tower, explore the Kamerlengo fortress, walk the Riva and the main square, and pass through the historic town gates. The old town is tiny and entirely walkable.
Trogir is famous for being one of the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic towns in Central Europe — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and especially for the Cathedral of St. Lawrence with Radovan's portal, carved in 1240.
Yes. It packs a complete UNESCO old town, a beautiful cathedral, a Venetian fortress and a seafront promenade into a few car-free streets — and it's only minutes from Split Airport, making it one of the easiest historic towns to reach in Dalmatia.
Plenty. Wandering the old town, walking the Riva, passing through the town gates and enjoying the squares and harbour are all free; you only pay to enter the cathedral interior or climb the bell tower.
Half a day to a full day is enough for the old town itself. With the Čiovo beaches and a boat trip or day trip to Split or Krka, Trogir easily fills two or three relaxed days.
Completely. The old town is a car-free island core, so everything — cathedral, fortress, Riva and squares — is within a few minutes' walk.
Where to stay
Apartman Sunset puts the cathedral, the fortress and the Riva within a five-minute walk, with free parking and a balcony — the easy, quiet base for exploring Trogir on foot.
