Stone alleys heat under noon sun and gulls punctuate the air as teams bend over a phone, hunting for the next clue. In Split, the past presses close—Roman walls, carved portals and narrow streets that funnel the Adriatic breeze through centuries-old masonry. This self-guided scavenger hunt uses the World City Trail app to turn the city into a playable map: clues lead you from the bronze gaze of Grgur Ninski to the sun-buffed promenade of the Riva, through Peristil and past Jupiter’s Temple.
