Step Into 305 AD
Time Walk is a Split-based company offering VR walking tours through Diocletian's Palace, the heart of Split's UNESCO-protected Old Town. We combine the depth of a guided walking tour with the wow factor of immersive virtual reality, letting our guests see the palace not as a ruin, but as it stood 1,700 years ago.
A Time Walk experience lasts approximately 80 minutes and includes two carefully crafted virtual reality scenes – one at the Golden Gate (Porta Aurea) and one at the Peristyle, the ceremonial heart of the palace. Between them, your licensed local guide leads you through cobblestone streets, ancient cellars, and hidden corners that most visitors miss.
Guests use Meta Quest 3 headsets at two key locations. At the Golden Gate, you watch Roman soldiers march into formation. At the Peristyle, Emperor Diocletian himself steps forward to address his people – with Empress Prisca watching from the colonnade and the crowd chanting "AVE DIOCLETIANE" all around you.
The VR moments are intentionally short, intense, and unforgettable. Our guides build the historical narrative leading up to each scene, so when you put on the headset, every second lands.

Most walking tours of Diocletian's Palace tell you about history. Time Walk shows you. By stepping into Meta Quest 3 headsets at carefully chosen historical locations, our guests don't just hear about Emperor Diocletian — they watch him address his people from the Peristyle, surrounded by Roman soldiers and citizens of 305 AD.
Three things set us apart:

We are based at Šenoina 10, 21000 Split, Croatia.
The year 305 AD marks the beginning of Diocletian's retirement to his palace in Split (then called Spalatum). It is the only year in history when the palace existed as a complete, freshly built imperial residence with Diocletian himself living inside it. This is the moment Time Walk recreates.
Diocletian had just voluntarily abdicated as Roman Emperor — the first ruler in Roman history to step down from power voluntarily. He spent his final years in Split, growing cabbages in his garden, before his death around 311 AD.
All Time Walk tours take place inside and around Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace covers the entire eastern half of Split's Old Town and remains one of the best-preserved Roman imperial residences in the world.
