Since it aired, people have visited Croatia purely to see where some of the scenes were shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/klisfortress?share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Klis Fortress<\/a> is one of those places!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we get on to the fortress itself, we have to mention the view. The view alone is a good enough reason to visit Klis Fortress. Due to its location on the mountainside, the fortress overlooks the whole of Split and the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Klis Fortress?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4.-View-of-Klis-Fortress-from-Split.jpg\" alt=\"Klis Fortress from afar\" class=\"wp-image-10080827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4.-View-of-Klis-Fortress-from-Split.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4.-View-of-Klis-Fortress-from-Split-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4.-View-of-Klis-Fortress-from-Split-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4.-View-of-Klis-Fortress-from-Split-770x414.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of Kliss Fortress from Split<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Klis Fortress is over 2,000 years old and has been occupied by several people, from the Romans to the Ottomans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fortress makes you feel like a kid again as you can explore everywhere at your own leisure. Another bonus is that only 15,000 people visit it a year, so there shouldn\u2019t be too many people or any queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a number of museums dotted throughout the fortress where you can learn about its history. There also seems to be a Game of Thrones museum being set up too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to visit Klis Fortress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrance to Klis Fortress costs \u20ac8, but you\u2019ll also need a taxi to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to get up to the fortress is to get an Uber. It will cost around \u20ac13 each way and takes around 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a local bus that runs from Split to the town of Klis every hour or so. This takes slightly longer than a taxi but is a cheaper option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fun option is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/split-l268\/split-game-of-thrones-tour-t63335\/?partner_id=EH1TD6T\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/split-l268\/split-game-of-thrones-tour-t63335\/?partner_id=EH1TD6T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">book this Game of Thrones Tour<\/a>, where a guide will show you around the Diocletian Palace where also many scenes of the series where filmed, plus amazing views (see next activity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Climb the Bell Tower for amazing views of Split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.-Climb-the-bell-tower-Split.jpg\" alt=\"Bell Tower in Split\" class=\"wp-image-10080828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.-Climb-the-bell-tower-Split.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.-Climb-the-bell-tower-Split-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.-Climb-the-bell-tower-Split-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5.-Climb-the-bell-tower-Split-770x414.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Split&#8217;s bell tower with 180 steps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Split\u2019s iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Kt5MQU2FqLEC5bFz5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bell tower<\/a> is attached to the Cathedral of St. Dominus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cathedral was first built in 305 AD as the Mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian and was later converted into a Catholic cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bell tower was originally constructed in the 12th century and later rebuilt in the 20th century. Like Klis Fortress, the bell tower was also featured as a filming location in &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; (specifically its basement).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 180 pretty steep steps to get to the top of the bell tower, but at 60m you\u2019ll have the most incredible view. It\u2019s one of the best viewpoints to get a shot of the distinctive red-roof buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to buy a ticket to visit the bell tower. This ticket is often bought as part of a combination ticket with some of the other popular attractions in Split. The two options you have are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Green ticket includes 3 sites:<\/strong> The Cathedral, Bell Tower, and Treasury for \u20ac9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purple ticket includes 5 sites:<\/strong> The Cathedral, Crypt, Baptistery, Treasury, and Bell Tower for \u20ac11.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6 Take a boat trip to see the Blue Lagoon and nearby idyllic islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.-Boat-trip-to-blue-lagoon-in-Split.jpg\" alt=\"Blue lagoon\" class=\"wp-image-10080829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.-Boat-trip-to-blue-lagoon-in-Split.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.-Boat-trip-to-blue-lagoon-in-Split-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.-Boat-trip-to-blue-lagoon-in-Split-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geckoroutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6.-Boat-trip-to-blue-lagoon-in-Split-770x414.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aerial view of Blue Lagoon in the Adriatic Sea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tons of boat trips leave from Split every day.
