Trogir Travel Forum

We will be driving up from Dubrovnik to the Split Airport. Since our flight is later in the day, we were thinking of taking a quick detour to Trogir before turning in our rental car at the airport. Even though the airport is close, I am sure that traffic and parking outside the city might be an issue.

I don't know how much time we will have but the city looks small. Is it worth taking a few hours to explore? And, what would be the "don't miss" sites considering the limited time we will have?

Trogir is definitely worth a visit. The old town can be explored in half a day. Everything worth seeing is there.

Normally it would take around 10-15 minutes to get to the airport, but if you are traveling on June-August it could take some half an hour.

I agree well worth a visit.

The main interest is in the old town which is an island. I suggest you park the car on the airport side of town for a quick getaway and walk across the bridge to the centre. You will see the entire place in a few hours.

If you like ice cream you will be in heaven!

You'll need to make an early getaway from Dubrovnik to do it, but depending on just how late in the afternoon your flight is, you should be able to manage a couple of hours at least in Trogir. It is tiny so you can easily see the sights in a short time. The cathedral and the main square are the main sights, a stroll along the little Riva to the small fort, a wander around the narrow streets, lunch maybe in one of the restaurants, at least a stop for a cold drink and a bit of people watching - the square's the ideal spot for that. We found parking near the fort quite easily in mid-June, later in the summer could be more problematical.

Thanks for the information...

I definitely will try and visit the city even if it is only for short time. I agree we will need to get an early start from Dubrovnik.

Hi We spent a few hours in Trogir and enjoyed it, photos on my page.

Good Luck,
