Split

Love at first sight

Split is the biggest town on Dalmatian coast and represents very important cultural, heritage, economy and university center in Croatia. Split is a story for itself that is really hard to translate into the written words to a reader who just started to do his / her research of that magnificent town. Few native writers and singers managed to convert the "Split's state of mind " into beautiful poems, stories and songs, which passed strict authorization and confirmation process by locals, as an authentic description through the art. When you have time, look for songs of Oliver Dragojević, or read about Miljenko Smoje's life and work. Goran Ivanišević, our former famous tennis player, is from Split as well! Not to forget the NBA generation, Toni Kukoč or Dino Rađa, and our athlete Blanka Vlašić.

Split is a town of sport, town of music and town of love at first sight! You will find out why once you visit it. We suggest, if you travel along Dalmatian coast, to spend few nights there. It has so much to offer! Excellent restaurants, cooking classes, ancient monuments, interesting guides, great shopping, beautiful people, fish market, and, of course, Diocletian's Palace.

Diocletian's Palace is, together with St. Domnius Cathedral, the most known attraction of Split. The ancient palace built for Roman Emperor, today is an UNESCO listing and the vivid part of the town offering home for residents withing its walls, offices for business affairs, shops and restaurants.

Split is Dalmatia at its purest shape. We definitely suggest, once you are in Split, to find your way to interact with locals to find out what we are talking about here. Do you know about coffee drinking culture in Croatia? In Split you can feel it at the first hand. Don't plan to visit Split if you are not ready to spend two hours of your life sitting in a bar on a promenade by the sea and having just one cup of coffee (just say velika toplo and waiter will bring you a coffee with warm milk added.

Besides Split city center, plan to visit its surroundings, or just follow river Cetina, from inland Sinj to coastal Omiš and admire the amazing nature around you. Spice up your exploration with river adventure sports and you'll definitely have a perfect vacation!
