Split
Split is the second largest city in Croatia and the largest in region Dalmatia. It’s a great place to see Dalmatian life as it’s really lived. Split is a wonderful harmony of old and new, where numerous shops, bars and restaurants thrive right alongside the ancient Roman ruins of Diocletian’s Palace. This marvelous landmark of the past was built in the 4th century as a seaside residence for the Roman Emperor Diocletian after his retirement. Today these old walls lie in the heart of the city and deservedly are listed to the UNESCO World Heritage list. But Split is not only Diocletian’s Palace, there’s so much more! Just take a stroll to the narrowest streets, wander through the Jewish Quarter and marvel at the Venetian courtyards. Explore the 1700 years of history while indulging in truly fantastic cuisine, buzzing nightlife and gorgeous coastline everywhere you look. Split is a true Mediterranean city, slow-paced, with easy-going locals, sunny outdoor terraces always buzzing with people regardless of the time of day, fantastic food and all around great laid-back atmosphere. Also, Split has unique setting – its dramatic coastal mountains act as the perfect backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. It is ideally located in the Central Dalmatia so it makes a good base for exploring the coast and islands like Brač, Hvar and Vis, the National Parks Plitvice and Krka as well as the Inland Dalmatia. This kind of location provides anything your heart might desire during your stay here, regardless of the type of traveler you are: historical sites, relaxing beach spots, natural gems in the Inland, adventurous things to try like climbing, zipline, rafting and so much more! So explore the city just like the locals live their life – slow, without the rush, enjoying the perfect simple things like sipping a coffee while soaking up the sun listening to the sea…
