Things to Do  

Diocletian's Palace

Diocletian's Palace, Split

 127 Reviews  The most famous site in the city is Diocletian's Palace. Emperor Diocletian was famous for his cruelty to Christians, and was responsible for Rome's most brutal and bloody purges. There's probably no little irony then that the Christians went and built a great Cathedral on the ruins of his... 

Old Town

Old Town, Split

 51 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... 

Cathedral & Bell Tower

Cathedral & Bell Tower, Split

 31 Reviews  See what we missed? This strange complex of the mausoleum and the old cathedral has only been seen from distance, passing in a hurry! We should have taken two weeks instead of one. I will to go back, one day.

Restaurants  

Pizzeria Galija

Pizzeria Galija, Split

 7 Reviews  Yesterday at lunch we ordered a glass of white wine with water. In menu listed one price, the waiter brought the bill where the price was higher. To the question why, he replied that he had decided to bring us better wine. In fact he simply decided to cheat a little. The difference in bill was... 

Konoba Marjan

Konoba Marjan, Split

 3 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... 

Nightlife  

Nightclubs

Nightclubs, Split

 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... 

Bacvice

Bacvice, Split

 3 Reviews  The complex of bars, cafes and restaurants at Bacvice is the place to spend an evening when visiting Split. Split's old town closes fairly early in the evenings (or at least it did when we visited in May 2007, but perhaps not so in the summer months), with only a few cafes and restaurants remaining... 

Transportation  

Buses (Coaches)

Buses (Coaches), Split

 15 Reviews  Split is well served by both local and intercity buses, and the station is very central, right next to the station and ferry port. You can buy tickets there, and the office is open late even on weekends, although it seemed to shut randomly for a quick "pauze" at inopportune moments. The buses here...

Outdoor Market (Trznica / Pazar)

Outdoor Market (Trznica / Pazar), Split

 10 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,... 

Marmontova ulica (street)

Marmontova ulica (street), Split

 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...

Outdoor life

Outdoor life, Split

 5 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... 

Local food

Local food, Split

 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...

Old Town (general), Split

 11 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... 

Riva & Harbour area

Riva & Harbour area, Split

 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...
