Things to do in Split

Being the second largest city in Croatia, Split is no less bustling and lively. Its central position, facing the Adriatic sea, makes it the perfect spot to start from to explore the surrounding area, includng the charming islands. But Split is also a delightful destination to visit on its own, with its mixture of styles from Roman ruins to Byzantine arches, from Venetian boardwalks to African influences.

Arriving by ferry, the city will certainly make an impression on you with the stunning view of the coastal mountains against the sparkling sea. The Diocletian's Palace is its most recognizable landmark, a majestic Roman Palace and Unesco World Heritage Site. You will be surprised to discover that the look of the Palace is the one of a labirinth of narrow streets packed with restaurants, shops and bars rather than a mansion filled with ancient artifacts.
