About Split

Split – Your Perfect Gateway to the Adriatic

Nestled between the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea and Croatia’s dramatic coastal mountains, Split is much more than just a city — it’s a vibrant experience. As the largest city on the Dalmatian coast and the second largest in Croatia, Split seamlessly blends ancient history, Mediterranean charm, and modern energy, making it the ideal starting point for your nautical adventure.

At the heart of Split’s timeless appeal lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular Roman monuments in the world. Built more than 1,700 years ago by Emperor Diocletian as his retirement residence, the palace remains the lively soul of the city — a living museum where narrow stone alleys, hidden courtyards, and bustling cafes tell stories of past centuries.

Thanks to its perfect location, Split is the ultimate gateway to the enchanting islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta, and Vis. Whether you are seeking serene hidden coves, glamorous island nightlife or authentic Mediterranean villages, everything is just a short sail away.

Getting to Split is effortless. The city is exceptionally well connected with the world — Split Airport is only a 25-minute drive from the city center, while excellent highway and ferry connections make it easily reachable by land and sea.

Beyond its strategic location, Split’s spirit is truly unique. This is a city where life is celebrated outdoors — from morning coffee rituals along the Riva promenade to lively evenings filled with music, laughter, and the enticing aroma of Dalmatian cuisine. Split is also proud of its sporting tradition, having produced world-famous athletes, Olympic champions, and football legends, a reflection of the city’s passionate and dynamic soul.

Add to that stunning beaches like Bačvice, Kašjuni and Bene, an exciting calendar of cultural events, music festivals, and traditional celebrations, and you have a destination that offers unforgettable memories at every turn.

Whether you’re exploring centuries of history, tasting the flavors of the Mediterranean, or setting sail into the sunset, Split welcomes you with open arms — and endless possibilities.
