Pro
Great food warm sea water.
Con
Can be really crowded during summer months
In a nutshell
Great starting place for seeing Dalmatia.
140 Reviews Carrarina poljana, which occupaing northern part of the former Diocletianus Palace, was never planned to be a square. In fact, the only open space inside the palace planned to be a square was the imperial Peristyle. When passing throughout the Golden Gate you will find yourself at an open air space...
62 Reviews Actually it is called Trg Brace Radic but if you ask to the locals where it is your question could be unanswered. For the locals it is simply known as Vocni Trg and nobody call it otherwise then that. In some passed times it used to be very busy fruit market. It is nice and peacefull square with the...
35 Reviews The Cathedral of St. Domnius is one of the emblems of the town of Split. The locals are very pround on it, in particularly on its bell-tower which is the tallest building of the town. When is Split, do not say anything against St. Duje (Domnius), Grgur Ninski and local football club called...
24 Reviews Riva is Split's waterfront where cafes and restaurants line up and is a perfect place to people watch and look out to the main bay and harbour. The harbour area and the old town including the Diocletian Palace are on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

7 Reviews Good pizza from a woodfired oven. Inattentive, but not rude, service. The waiters seemed more interested in having a chat at the bar than serving. I had nearly finished my dinner by the time the second requested beer turned up. I think I would have had more luck if we had been two pretty young...
4 Reviews Don't miss this small friendly restaurant tucked away up a side street from the Riva. It's run by husband & wife team Marija and Ivan. Don't be put off if you don't see many people inside -the food is worth it. It's also airconditioned, which is great when its a bit hot. It has a small menu but...
4 Reviews The nightlife in central split (i.e around the palace area and on the front) tends to be a bit disappointing if you’re after pulsating clubs with load music and lots of meetings going on. The evenings start with sitting outside the café’s and as the evening progresses the music gets a bit louder in...
6 Reviews The new Split Riva (waterfront) is a disaster. The sun-shades are falling apart, the expensive concrete they used is too bright under the summer sun, the tables are cheap and the chairs uncomfortable. It is a reflection of the corruption in this once beautiful sea-side city and of designers of...
17 Reviews Split is the major hub for buses going up and down the coast, as well as those directed inland. Croatian intercity bus system may be somewhat confusing with hundred of different private companies, but they create a network that is certainly one of the best in Europe. Buses are modern and...
11 Reviews If travelling from Zagreb, alone or in couple, train is, for many reasons, definatelly the best way to get to Split. Train isn't so fast but offers comfort, possibility to stretch the legs and watching beautiful landscapes. Not of less importance, you could take some nice pics, espacially while...
Outdoor Market (Trznica / Pazar)
15 Reviews There is big open air market place at the eastern side of the Diocletian Palace offering everything you need and what you dont need at all. Cheap but low quality cloths and shoes from China, a bit expensive and a bit more quality cloths and shoes from Turky, ugly souveniers who knows from where,...
6 Reviews The main shopping area in Split for designer and name-brand goods (mostly for women) is the marble-lined street of Marmontova. It runs from the waterfront all the way back to the Trg Gaje Bulata, which is where the Croatian National Theatre is located. You will find jewelry, clothing, shoes and...
6 Reviews The old core of Split is a network of short and narrow streets, very typical for all Mediterranean city structures raised in the medieval times. It is attractive for most of the tourists especially if Anericans or north Europeans. Such a streets could be extremelly charming in particularly if loaded...
3 Reviews Split has a local beverage that can be found in many of the cafes and restaurants around town. It's called "Pipi" and has a cute little blonde with pigtails on the front. It's absolutely delicious, and I wholeheartedly became addicted to the stuff while I was there. Also, it's pretty cool to check...
12 Reviews This was the main living center for the Illyrian Delmaeti tribe and in the Greeks used it for trading over many centuries in BC. The Romans continued that trading commerce that covered much of the inland regions. The creation of Christianity got a foothold here in 200-300AD, and many churches were...
5 Reviews This island town is only 20 miles form Split and a nice visits for one day. There are sites to take in such as CAthedral of St. Lovre and bell tower, museum(but it was closed and has been for 2 years-so wait it out), Kamerlengo fortress at the end of the island, Lucic Palace, Town square and clock...
14 Reviews The Hajduk football club was founded in 1911 in a restaurant in Prague. In 2011 it will have it's 100 years jubilee and the club has never changed its name. The club is very successful and has seen countries come and go like the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and Yugoslavia. The fans of the Hajduk...
1 Review Goran Ivanisevic - Wimbledon Champion 2001. Ivanisevic and those fans, plus scores of thousands more besides, were dancing again when another title came home to Split. The whole country, it seemed, came to a standstill and 150,000 were on the streets to greet him and to party with him. Goran...
19 Reviews I really like walking around the old town of Split after dark when the crowds have gone and just the cats are roaming around. Well, not quite but still you will get a totally different impression and you can take some night shots. One night there was a concert in the Peristil of a really good...
7 Reviews Hi there. There is parking available at the Riva. If you follow signs to the ferry port you will see the barrier for it to the right of the Jadrolinija ticket office, just near the market and Diocletian's Palace. Just take a ticket and pay when you leave. It is not a secure parking area, just an...
