    A Step Back in Time in Trogir’s Historic City
    Exploring the Historic City of Trogir was like stepping into a beautifully preserved medieval dream. The cobblestone streets, ancient architecture, and intricate details of the buildings are a testament to the city's rich history. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is a masterpiece, and the town's charming waterfront adds to its allure. However, the crowds during peak hours can be overwhelming, making it challenging to fully appreciate the tranquility of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Additionally, more informational signs could enhance the experience for visitors seeking historical context. Despite these minor drawbacks, Trogir's historic city remains a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers looking to immerse themselves in Croatia's past.

    Do not miss this city !
    Stopped off here on way to Split and so pleased we did. A real little gem of a place. So pretty with winding narrow streets and lovely old buildings. Don't miss the exciting climb up the Cathedral bell tower. Parked motorhome at Trogir Parking. Small but cheaper than others. Paid €2.50hr. See pic attached for location.

    Don’t miss
    Parking near the waterside market was very cheap and close to the old bridge into the beautiful old town . Croatia has many well preserved narrow streets and forts and this is up there with the best of them . The old pavements led to many stunning restaurants and courtyards . Was a relief to see the amount of investment in some of the properties ensuring they will be there to enjoy for many more years .

    A beautiful old town but very expensive.
    This is a Beautiful place. The sun, sea and stunning old town make it well worth a visit. However I can’t believe how expensive Croatia has become. Even comparing to other Mediterranean countries it is excessive. The taxis are a crazy price - €20 for a 4k trip, meals out with house wine is over €200 for a family of 4, and boat trip is €75 for a 1 hour tour and sunbeds and brolly for €25. A real shame as it is a fabulous country and the people are friendly.

    Our favourite city in Croatia! Beautiful.
    Stunning! We arrived by Flix Bus from Zadar. Tickets bought online, 10am at Zadar Bus Station (Route 898 - Dubrovnik) at a cost of £12 each. I did pay an extra £3.98 to reserve the two front seats which is nice on a long trip. It was 2 hrs 45 mins and you are dropped right by the local market just outside the old town. As soon as you see the entrance to the town, it has you! There is a tiny little bridge to take you there with the most crystal waters we have ever seen! We stopped and had coffee this side of the bridge just to take in the views! The mountains beyond the sea are ridiculous! We walked across the bridge to find the office to collect keys for our Airbnb, but it took ages as we kept stopping to look at the views! We were staying in old town in an apartment above a restaurant down a tiny little alleyway, it couldn't get much better than this. The city is just lovely, a great promenade, castle at the end and you can spend hours walking around the tiny alleyways looking at all the shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. It has it's own little busy vibe and there is music wherever you go. The market was great, it was on both days we were there and sells fresh veg, fruit, olive oil and lavender, etc. There is a beach about 15 minutes walk away, we spent a couple of hours there and went swimming. We toured Croatia from Zadar, Trogir, Split, Hvar, Stari Grad and Dubrovnik. This was our favourite place! We left by ferry from the small harbour, we sailed to Split which takes an hour and costs 8 euros each (pay on the boat). If you're on this coastline, make sure you visit here!

    A millionaire's playground with prices to match.
    You'll have a fine time exploring the ancient streets of Trogir, and the local businesses will have a fine time extracting as much of your money as possible. One look at the yachts moored on the south harbour will have you clutching your wallet in fear, but it's still a lovely place for all that. Be wary of some of the attractions - you can be charged ten Euro for a five-minute experience, and expect to pay at least 20 Euro each for an evening meal, breakfast or lunchtime snack. The food quality is generally very good, but feeding a family here is going to take a serious credit limit. Within reach by 44 bus or boat taxi is Gornji beach (written as 'Okrug' on the boats. This is fully commercialised and great fun with stunning water quality. Split is easily within range by bus (a 90 minute trip or thereabouts) - download the 'Promet' app before you go. Bus travel is ridiculously cheap too. Trogir is very clean, incredibly safe, picturesque and entertaining. We had a very nice time here and fully recommend it.

    A special Dalmatian town near Split. Full of charm and soul. Small streets and old stone houses give this city something that you can feel while walking! The most famous citizen of this city is the late Dalmatian singer Vinko Coce!

We had one more stop today – Trogir. We entered Trogir historic town centre via the Land Gate. Above the gate is a statue of the town's protector, the Blessed Ivan Orsini. Trogir is described as one of the jewels of the Dalmatian coast and your enjoyment may be influenced by when you visit. Our guide commented that in the height of tourist season, the small island is inundated with tourist and the temperatures reach the 40s. We visited in late May when the weather was still mild and there were not many tourists, but I did find the prices on the high side.

Trogir historic town centre is pedestrian-only and was like an outdoor museum. Most of the town’s old historic centre is on an island and is encircled by a wall with two gates. A bridge now joins the island to the mainland.

We walked around exploring the beautiful facades, elegant churches and palaces, and medieval streets. Although today Trogir is a medieval architecture packed town that is surrounded by water and developed in the 13th to the 15th c, it has a long history, as the Greeks first settled here in the 3rd c BC, followed by the Romans. In 1997, Trogir was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Since it is only located about 30km west of Split, visiting here is doable on a day trip.

We spent the day wandering the maze of narrow streets, visiting the sights and people watching along the Riva. Trogir is small and manageable and can easily be roamed around in a day. And yet we found numerous little nooks and crannies with special sights. If you arrive by car, you should avoid the intersection with the bridge to the old town and try your luck at one of the nearby parking lots that surround the island. Or best yet, come by bus or ferry.

As a destination wedding photographer specializing in Croatian coastal weddings, I have narrowed my shortlist of adriatic towns to visit with my clients. Trogir makes this list for its picturesque backdrops, it is an absolute gem. Its a walkable size, has bridged island access and sits immediately on the water, making it very convenient. It does not have a beach (it's like Venice), but just a half mile north is the town of Seget with a lovely quiet beach with several sailing and restaurant amenities. Travelers can also take the bridge across the water to Ciovo (chee-o-vo) to get to busier beaches with bars, cafes, restaurants and more. While in Trogir, take a cooking class, or rent a moped or bicycle and find your favorite beach. Or, shop the narrow streets, have coffee in one of the many cafes, or peruse through the open air market for fruits, olive oil, lavender or hats!

Trogir's quaint nooks, courtyards, balconies, churches and stonework that make it stand out as a perfect spot for photography. Enjoy your time and do reach out for any wedding questions.

To be honest, I had not heard of Trogir until I was planning possible day trips from nearby Split. I am so glad that I decided to go. We drove directly from Sarajevo, passed Split, and continued on to Trogir for a few hours. Trogir's old town is located on an island. During the off-season as it is now, you can actually park on the island. But, if you go during the busier times, you will have to part at a variety of pay-parking lots off the island.

To be honest, nothing is actually open right now. So, do not be disappointed when you find that the main attractions, even the churches, are not open for visits. Nevertheless, simply strolling around the streets of the ancient city is worth the visit. It is an exceptionally picturesque. That said, your options for food, drink and yes, toilets, will be limited if you visit in the winter!!

Trogir old town is very small so unless you have planned something specific you can visit for a few hours/half a day. There are lovely windy streets to wander through full of restaurants and shops, plenty of places to explore. The waterfront is also a nice place to spend some time.
It’s easy to reach from Split or nearby cities. We took a taxi for around 600kuna return to split which was pre-organized so you can probably get a cheaper fare if you search around.

We stayed near Trogir and visited it several times and it is a real gem. Beautifully preserved on an island with a myriad of small alleys and streets, with the coble stones literally worn smooth in places as people have walked on them for hundreds of years.

Loads of restaurants and little shops plus some small historic buildings and a sea front with expensive yachts. This is an an unspoilt piece of history better than Split in my opinion.

In the car park nearby there is also a nice market.

We were lucky enough to stay here for a few days and for a relatively small place there is so much to experience. There is history and something to see around every winding corner. Most of it is car free and the little alleys host lots of places to eat and shop. The alleys are cobbled which can be slippy so gripping sensible shoes are a must. Wonderful water front area, loads of historic places, couple of great markets. Highly recommended.

I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of Trogir. Stone houses, narrow streets, laundry that dries on a string gives a special atmosphere and impression of this Mediterranean city. Viewed from the top of the Cathedral of St. Lawrence takes breath away.

Stayed on Trogir waterfront after sailing from Malta, this place is truly lovely. Picturesque, vibrant, lots of great eateries that can accommodate a large family ( 8) without bookings. Days were spent wandering up and down the cobbled streets each time finding a new restaurant , bar or ice cream shop to pass the time away people watching. Also loved that after midnight it quietened down considerably ( on the waterfront )but there was some night time places not far away for my twenty something kids to enjoy. And a great market to enjoy open every day. Definitely a place for all the family young and old to visit.

Absolutely gorgeous, a gem of a place. Small and charming, atmospheric and memorable. It reminded me strongly of a small district of Venice and definitely worth a visit. But I didn’t realise it was on the flight path to Split airport. Actually it was on final approach and take off so the planes were just a couple of hundred feet above - it’s not Heathrow so there isn’t a plane every 3 minutes but there are several every hour. It’s not so bothersome it’s a big issue as the windows in our apartment were sound proofed, but it did take the shine off it as I didn’t find it to be a peaceful place. Also be prepared for the rivers of tourists, and we weren’t even there in high season. I also found it exceptionally expensive, dinner more expensive than London prices and an ordinary coffee in the main square more expensive than Piazza delle Signorie in Florence.

Overall I felt it was a bit of a rip-off and it’s the first time I’ve felt that in Croatia (been to most of it and the islands).

We didn’t find anywhere convenient to swim in the city, unlike Zadar and Dubrovnik where it’s easy to swim very close to the historic area.

All things considered it’s an adorable place, but it’s a day trip for my money and I would choose to stay somewhere quieter and more peaceful.
