About Split
Split is the vibrant heart of Croatia's Dalmatian coast, a city where ancient history and modern beach life share the same streets. Its centerpiece is the remarkable Diocletian's Palace, a sprawling Roman complex built for a retired emperor that is not a museum but a living quarter, its courtyards and cellars now filled with homes, cafés, bars, and shops. Wandering its marble lanes is like stepping through 1,700 years at once.
Life spills out onto the palm-lined Riva promenade along the harbor, where locals and visitors gather for coffee and evening strolls. The pine-covered Marjan hill offers trails and swimming coves just above the city, and the port sends ferries out to the glamorous islands of Hvar and Brač, making Split the natural launchpad for exploring the Adriatic.
The Mediterranean summer is hot, sunny, and busy, perfect for swimming but crowded in peak months. Late spring and early fall bring warm seas and a more relaxed pace, while winters are mild and quiet.
