When to go

Late spring and early autumn are particularly good for walks and the sea. Summer is hotter and considerably busier.

Things to see and do

Explore Diocletian's Palace and the old town, walk along the Riva and climb Marjan Hill for coastal views.

Practical tips

The old town can be very crowded in high season, making early walks pleasant. Check island ferry schedules in advance.

Getting there and getting around

Split has an international airport and train, bus and ferry connections.

Where to stay

The old town is close to the main sights. Bačvice suits beach access, while neighbourhoods near Marjan are quieter.

What to try

Try fresh fish, seafood, pašticada and Dalmatian dishes.
