4.Klis Fortress GOT and Olive Museum Entry Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 283 reviews · 1 month · from $14

Start at Stella Croatica for a guided olive museum tour, Mediterranean gardens, traditional tastings, and natural cosmetics. Then use your ticket at Klis Fortress, a Game of Thrones filming site with sweeping views over Split. You need your own transport between the two sites.

“Some fantastic views. A real feel for history and the strategic value of the fortress. Well worth a trip outside the city to see this. Just a shame they have not yet been able to restore the final parts of the fortress, but still plenty to see and experience.”
