About Split

Split is built inside a Roman emperor's retirement home — Diocletian's Palace, a sprawling 1,700-year-old complex whose walls, cellars, and peristyle now form the living heart of Croatia's second city. Cafés spill into ancient courtyards, a palm-lined seafront promenade (the Riva) hums with life, and the Dalmatian islands and the walls of nearby Trogir beckon. It's history you walk through, not just look at.

💡
Insider Tip

Diocletian's Palace isn't a museum you enter — it IS the old town, so simply wandering its lanes and cellars is free and wonderful. For nature, the Krka waterfalls are a stunning (if longer) alternative to a city walk.
