Discover Split, Croatia

Split is Croatia’s second-largest city and the dynamic hub of Dalmatia. Built around the ancient Diocletian’s Palace, it blends Roman heritage, seaside promenades, islands, beaches, and a lively Mediterranean lifestyle. Located on the Adriatic coast, Split connects ferries, buses, and catamarans to the entire region.


A Journey Through History

Split’s story begins with Diocletian’s Palace, built in the 4th century AD. Over time, the palace transformed into a living city as homes, markets, squares, and churches filled its courtyards. Medieval, Renaissance, and baroque influences shaped the surrounding neighborhoods. Today, Split is a UNESCO-listed masterpiece and a major cultural and economic center of Dalmatia.

Through the 20th century, Split expanded as an industrial and maritime hub. Its reputation continues to rise thanks to tourism, culture, and its strategic role as the region’s primary transport gateway—linking the mainland with Croatian islands and coastal towns.


Historic Landmarks

Split’s old town is dominated by Diocletian’s Palace, an ancient fortress filled with narrow alleys, stone houses, and historical treasures. Highlights include the Peristyle square, the Cathedral of St. Domnius, and the Temple of Jupiter. The Riva promenade lines the waterfront with cafés and palm trees, while Marjan Hill offers scenic viewpoints and walking paths.

Other key sights include the Golden Gate, Fruit Square, the Venetian Tower, and lively markets like Pazar (green market) and Peškarija (fish market). Beaches such as Bačvice and Firule offer easy swims and soft sand close to the center.


Culture, Festivals & Local Life

Split is vibrant year-round. The Split Summer Festival transforms palace courtyards into open-air stages, while the city frequently hosts concerts, exhibitions, and sports events. The Ultra Europe Festival attracts global crowds every July. From classical performances to beach parties, Split’s energy is unmistakable.

Café culture and outdoor dining define daily life. Traditional dishes like pašticada and fresh Adriatic seafood sit alongside creative modern menus. Wine bars, konobas, and coastal terraces make Split a favorite for food lovers and night-time explorers.


Nature and Outdoor Activities

Marjan Hill is Split’s natural playground, offering hiking, running trails, panoramic lookouts, and hidden coves. Beaches along the city—Bačvice, Žnjan, Kašjuni—provide swimming and water sports.

Architecture & Urban Charm

Split’s streets blend Roman stonework, medieval passages, Renaissance façades, and modern Mediterranean flair. The palace walls, ancient columns, and timeless courtyards give the city a unique atmosphere. The waterfront Riva, pedestrian zones, and vibrant markets keep the city buzzing day and night.
