Once the family home of Croatia’s most important sculptor, Ivan Meštrović, it is now a museum dedicated to his art and a unique monument of modern architecture in Split. The hop-on hop-off bus stop is located near the Meštrović Gallery, in front of another museum—the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments (MHAS). The bus ride then continues along the quieter side of Split, exploring the edges of Marjan Hill Park Forest and Kašjuni Beach.

St Francis Church

The Red Line bus then cruises along the scenic West Coast, offering panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the bustling port, a gateway to the Dalmatian islands. The hop-on hop-off stop is at St. Francis Church, a serene church with a peaceful cloister, nestled at the foot of Veli Varoš, an old neighborhood known for its traditional taverns, or konoba in Croatian. As the tour comes to a close, the bus passes by the National Theatre, a cultural hub that hosts opera, drama, and ballet performances. Its striking yellow neoclassical façade stands in contrast to the massive Venetian fortifications and Marmont Street, the main pedestrian and shopping avenue.
