About Split

Split is Croatia's second-largest city and the largest city in the Dalmatia region. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and is spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings.

With ruins dating back to the Roman Empire, a bustling waterfront, and fresh seafood served daily at many of the restaurants in town, Split is well worth a visit on a tour through Croatia.

There are some fantastic sights in the city, both Roman and more modern, excellent options for dining, drinking and nightlife, plenty of beach opportunities and lots of choice for those wanting day trips.

One day is enough if you just wish to explore Split. But, if you want to discover the hidden gems in Split plus the islands and towns around Split, you need at least a week.

Finding the best time to visit Split will heavily depend on a few things, including what activities you’re interested in, your preferred weather, and what you’re willing to pay.

Much like the rest of Croatia, Split is best known as a summer getaway. Sunny days and clear skies are ideal for swimming, sailing, and al fresco dining. This means summer is high season in Split.
