9 places to visit in and around Split
Split, Croatia is often viewed as a base-city for island hopping day trips, but its buzzing Dalmatian culture begs a second look. The city is a fascinating nexus of tradition and stylish modernity, and its beautiful coastline of course doesn’t hurt either.
Diocletian's Palace/Basement Halls
This gigantic ancient fortress should be your first stop in Split. The entire city center is ruins of this incredible complex that today houses bars, restaurants, and shops.
Marjan
The beautifully maintained park is perfect for an afternoon walk or bike ride, a change from the bustling city.
Ivan Mestrovic Gallery
This museum is quality over quantity. Seeing works by the great 20th century sculptor displayed in such a naturally beautiful environment makes the trip outside of town worth it.
Cathedral of Saint Domnius
The structure is almost unchanged since its consecration in the 7th century, and nowhere else in Split will you find the view at the top of the bell tower.
Croatian National Theatre in Split
This beautiful building is home to the best entertainment in the city. The opera house’s hidden gem is the Sustipan venue, an outdoor spot perfect for a drink under the stars.
Split Festival
Festival Zabavne Glazbe Split is a pop music festival that has, and continues to feature, the best Croatian artists since 1960.
Hvar
Take the ferry a couple hours south of Split to the island city Hvar. Stay a night or two to explore the city’s restaurants, marinas, museums, galleries, and cafes.
Brac
Another island is Brac, a place known for producing the white stone that the White House is made of. Wander through the abandoned stone villages in the center of the island.
Split to Dubrovnik Sailing Trip
There are a variety of boat trips to the ancient city of Dubrovnik, a stunning city of history surrounded by the shimmering beauty of the Adriatic.
Planning Your Split Visit
Take the bus
The trains aren’t as reliable in this part of Europe, but don’t be afraid of the local buses. They’re clean, safe, and amazingly well connected.
Talking on the Phone While Driving Is Illegal
If you do rent a car, be aware that laws, especially about talking on the phone, are strictly enforced. And if you prefer automatic cars, be sure to let the rental company know while booking.
Be Careful Before You Show Some Skin
It’s totally cool to go topless at most of these beaches, but use discretion. Ninety percent of Croatians are Catholic and some islands are still very religious, like Vrbnik, for example.

This was an excellent tour! The guide was knowledgeable and very personable. I have been recommending this walking tour to all my friends!
Petra went the extra mile to introduce me to her city.
In spite of miserable weather I was treated to one of the best tours I have taken. Petra was extremely knowledgeable and shared insight into everything from Diocletian through the recent war. It was a real treat.
