Thinking about a holiday in Split? You’ve come to the right place. Split is one of Croatia’s most popular destinations, and for good reason — a stunning waterfront, Roman history, great beaches, and easy access to some of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic.
At the heart of the city lies Diocletian’s Palace, a 1,700-year-old Roman emperor’s retirement home that today forms a living, breathing neighbourhood filled with restaurants, bars, and hidden courtyards. Beyond the palace walls, you’ll find the beautiful Marjan Forest Park perfect for walking and cycling, sandy and pebble beaches stretching along the coast, and a vibrant café culture that spills out onto the Riva promenade every evening.
Split is also the ideal base for exploring central Dalmatia. Ferries depart daily to islands like Hvar, Brač, Korčula, and Šolta, while charming towns like Trogir — a UNESCO-listed island city just 30 minutes away — and the adventure hub of Omiš with its Cetina River rafting are easily within reach.
Whether you’re planning your first visit or looking to discover a new side of the city, here you’ll find inspiration and practical guides covering things to do, where to go, how to get around, and the best day trips from Split to the surrounding islands and towns.
