Split is
busy and big (it's Croatia's second largest city) but it remains
one of the Adriatic's most fascinating ports with a long and eventful history. There
are great sights to see in Split
and great places
to stay from hotels to private
accommodation. (See Split
on a map of Croatia.) Home of Diocletian's
Palace, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, Split offers a wealth of museums and
Roman ruins under a dramatic mountain backdrop and opens onto
a vast expanse of sea.
Besides the sightseeing
in Split, the town makes an excellent base for
exploring the wonders of Split-Dalmatia county not to mention the many islands that lie just offshore.
From Split, you can
easily visit Solta and Brac, Other
day
trips from Split include Solin,
Omis, Trogir, Brela
Beach, Baska Voda and Makarska,
each less than an hour away by car.

tours & excursions from Split.
Travel Tip
Raw and boisterous, yet with heaps
of Mediterranean
style, Split is not the place to settle in and chill. Ferries, trains and buses are
constantly chugging in and out of the ferry-train-bus stations which
combine to form a giant transport hub just east of
Diocletian's
Palace. Within the palace walls, Split's
Old Town is
exhilarating with plenty of sights.
Stay near the town centre. The dreary neighbourhoods
that stretch north of town aren't
dangerous but they sure aren't pretty.
