Split is known for its ancient history, vibrant streets, and life that unfolds within 1,700-year-old walls.
At its center lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that still shapes the city today. Its ancient cellars, stone streets, and Peristil Square create a setting where history feels present rather than preserved.
During the summer months, the change of the Roman guard brings that atmosphere to life, while the Cathedral of St.Duje stands quietly as one of the oldest functioning cathedrals in the world.
Beyond its heritage, Split carries a distinct local character. Parts of the city served as filming locations for Game of Thrones, with a museum dedicated to it, while Bačvice beach is known for picigin — a simple, almost ritual-like game played in the shallow sea.
As evening approaches, the city becomes more vibrant. The Riva fills with life, summer events take over the streets, and occasions like the Ultra Europe Festival or Nights of Diocletian add another layer to the experience — a balance of energy, tradition, and atmosphere that naturally rounds off the day at sea.
Along the Riva promenade, the pace softens again — ideal for a coffee, an easy walk, or simply watching the city unfold.
For something sweet, Gelateria Emiliana is a popular stop, while restaurants like Dvor, Bokeria Kitchen & Wine, Articok, Bokamorra, and Maestro Grill Club offer options to continue the day into the evening.
