Klis Fortress

The fortress's history is intimately linked to the history of Croatia and its people, which has seen the passage of the Dalmatians, the Turks, the Venetians, and the Austro-Hungarians. The "key" to the mountains demonstrates that its ruler also controlled everything around it. The view from the fortress is impressive, as is the structure itself. Two photo points allow you to add the dragons from Game of Thrones; the armory exhibits ancient weapons such as swords, spears, and hammers, including a fine example of a "rusty" hand-and-half sword and ancient pistols. There is parking in the square below the fortress, as well as a free one along the road 100 meters before the site. Free restrooms are on the left, in the center of the fortress's main entrance; dogs are welcome. The fortress entrance ticket also includes access to the local olive oil museum.

Lovely sprawling castle parts dating back over 2000 years. Was used for Game Of Thrones too which as a fan was a nice surprise. Easy to get around but does have some slippery surfaces so those with difficulties walking be aware. Amazing views.

Historical site with rich history. The fortress was very well conserved and maintained. Awesome sight. Being set against the top of the hill makes it even more grand. We love it and was wowed by its stunning architecture and the surrounding hills. Simply spectacular!! It's a must visit location if you're visiting Split.

A beautiful part of Croatian history and as a bonus you have an amazing view of the whole area and Split. However, I would have expected a little more information about the history of this place, maybe more artifacts etc. instead of modern, say, artistic fashion photos, which I think do not belong here at all and spoil the atmosphere of this beautiful place. It would also be good if the staff informed visitors before buying a ticket that due to archaeological works, access to part of the complex is limited, which should be reflected in the ticket price.

Highly recommend visiting. Absolutely stunning views! 🤩 We spent easily here 3hours walking and exploring around. A lot of stairs and climbing in many place so in 33 degrees it was a bit hot exercise. Remember to take water, we didn't have any 😂 Also please do rent a car and come visit or some excursion to here. We got bolt and it was very easy to get ride there but getting ride back to Split was a nightmare 😂 Nevertheless enjoyed every moment!

This is a reasonably interesting fort with breathtaking views of the surroundings. We were there in August 2025 and perhaps 25-30% of it was inaccessible for maintenance or other reasons. The upkeep of this quite magnificent site is lacking and the exhibitions are poor. On balance this is worth a visit if you are staying numerous days in Split and are running out of things to do.

Really great trip to Klis Fortress, whether you're a GoT fan or not - the castle itself offers so much history about the area and people. The entry fee isn't to expensive; there are buses that come here directly, but they have plenty of stops and can easily take over 30min one way. Otherwise, entry is easy and roaming the castle is no issue - lots of plaques with information, and great sights of Split below.

This is an awesome place to visit if you have a car and time while around Split. The location at the mountain pass is stunning and it is obvious why it played a central role in the defense of the area. I would rate it five stars if the plaques were in English but so much of the information is only in Croatian. Staff at the entrance spoke English and were very helpful. There is a good size parking lot at the bottom of the peak. The route up is gravel and some concrete but is not very long. Wheelchair or those with walkers will find it challenging. I used an app to translate some of the information plaques and found them interesting and informative. I'm glad I had done research ahead of time so I already had an idea of what I would experience with the rich history that it has.
