Interactive museum of optical tricks in the city centre: rooms that tilt, mirror and fool the eye.
Ten minutes from Diocletian's Palace waits a world where nothing is as it seems: a tilted room where you walk uphill while your body insists otherwise, infinity mirrors, holograms and brain teasers for the whole family. A fun break from sun and stone, especially with kids or on a rainy day.
Best early morning or late afternoon: tour groups arrive midday.
A small next-step selection from the same city.
