Why visit Split
Offering the perfect balance of traditional heritage and contemporary cool, Split is an irresistible fusion of ancient history, delicious food and a vibrant spirit.
From its buzzing harbour and palm-lined promenade to its most impressive Roman ruins such as Diocletian’s Palace which has been featured in TV shows such as Game of Thrones.
Wander around the captivating cobbled streets which evoke a true sense of history and be sure to pay a visit to Split’s city beach which stretches Park Pomoraca towards Lučica Zenta which is a collection of coves, sandy stretches and glamorous promenades that are just waiting to be explored!
Make sure you immerse yourself in the rich history of this charming Croatian city. From the UNSECO-listed world heritage sites to the well-preserved Roman walls, Split is filled with a delightful smorgasbord of Gothic and Renaissance buildings which includes the aforementioned Diocletian’s Palace, built between 295 and 305 A.D.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Here are our top three travel tips when visiting Split:
Embrace the city’s past - Head on over to the Ethnographic Museum which is full of enchanting displays that show how the people of Split lived in the past, with everything from jewellery to pots. Be sure to add this museum and others to your ‘See & Do’ list on your Split Pogo Pinboard.
Get your caffeine fix - Split is often synonymous with its coffee culture and it has thousands of cafés offering beverages for every caffeine aficionado. In Split, having a coffee out and its associated coffee culture is treated as a dedicated social event and exploring the coffee shops of this coastal city should also be at the top of your list for an authentic local experience.
Navigating the city of Split - The easiest way to get around Split is to use public transport or walk. Most of the city was built around the ancient Diocletian palace so even in the present day, the streets of the city centre are narrow and most of them are pedestrian-only.
