Custom tour packagesSplit
A popular destination for travelers in Croatia, Split was home to the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Seventeen centuries ago, Diocletian built the vast palace complex on Split's waterfront that still stands today, in order to retire near his hometown. Several of our accommodation options sit within the ancient walls. There's now an embankment in front of the palace, but the water used to go right up to the wall. It's on this man-made strip of land that you'll find the Riva, a bustling pedestrian promenade. This will be one of the highlights of your holiday in Split. You'll also find Split's UNESCO-listed Old Town within the walls. It's a pedestrian-only maze that is easy, but fun, to get lost in. Who knows what romantic cafés you'll find in the narrow streets? To get the most out of your time visiting Split, we recommend taking a tour with a local guide.
The second largest city in Croatia. Combine the best of Dalmatia's laid back beach vibe with commerce and night life.

From our team
What we love about Split
Sunny Split's laid back, homey atmosphere will make you wanna live there. I love people who are passionate about the city they live in, and you can this passion on every corner.
Andrea
Operations Senior Team Leader
I love Split, not only because I was born there and have many nice memories, but because I find it Croatia's most unique city, and a place with real soul. Unique for its temperament, atmosphere, energy, and sense of humor. Split is a pretty compact town, so within the short walking distance of its core - impressive Diocletian's Palace - you can find the forested Marjan Hill park, many beaches, and enjoy easy access to many Dalmatian islands. You can find pretty much anything in Split.

Trip Planning & Local Teams Specialist
Split's hustle and bustle give it a true charm. Everything is loud, and the people are always friendly and smiling. Getting lost in the 'ghetto' as the locals like to call the center, is the best way to explore the town. Have a walk up to Marjan Hill for some amazing views, and treat yourself with a cold beer on Matejuska Pier while watching the sunset.
