What to do in Split

Split, a unique city on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, is a true gem waiting to be explored. With its blend of rich history, stunning beaches, and natural beauty all within easy reach, it's no wonder Split is becoming an increasingly popular summer destination. Offering great value for money and delicious, straightforward cuisine, it’s the perfect place to visit whether you’re traveling as a couple or with the whole family. If you're unsure where to begin your adventure, here are six of our favorite things to do in Split.

The 6 best activities and excursions in Split 1. Visit Diocletian's Palace. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the crown jewel of Split and an absolute must-see. The beautifully preserved Roman-era complex forms the heart of the city's first historic center. As you wander through its winding streets, you'll discover hidden courtyards, Romanesque churches, and bustling cafés. Among the key monuments, the Cathedral of St. Domnius stands out, offering breathtaking views of the sea from its bell tower.

2. Stroll along Split's Waterfront Split's Riva, the city’s vibrant waterfront, is the beating heart of the city. Lined with palm trees and elegant palaces, this pedestrian area is perfect for a leisurely stroll, a relaxed breakfast at a terrace café, or a delightful dinner featuring local cuisine. Bustling both day and night, the Riva encapsulates the lively, festive spirit of Split.

3. Take a Trip to Trogir Just a half-hour drive from Split lies the historic town of Trogir, known as Traù in Italian. Another UNESCO World Heritage site, Trogir is celebrated for its medieval architecture, artistic treasures, and charming historic center located on a small island. Must-see attractions include the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, the Town Hall, and Kamerlengo Castle. After soaking in the rich history and culture, unwind on one of the beautiful beaches nearby.

4. Explore the Klis Fortress A popular excursion from Split, the Klis Fortress is a medieval fortification perched on a hill, offering a glimpse into a past filled with power struggles, rulers, and battles. Due to its dramatic setting, the fortress was chosen as a filming location for Meereen in the TV series Game of Thrones.

5. Relax on the Beaches One of Split’s greatest assets is its proximity to stunning beaches with turquoise waters. Bacvice Beach is a popular choice due to its close location—just 1 km from the center—and its shallow waters, perfect for families with children. A bit further away, Znjan Beach, 5 km from the center, offers a well-equipped lido and crystal-clear waters. Kastelet Beach, 2 km from the center, is a favorite among young people and comes alive in the evening with music and cocktail bars. For those seeking a more serene experience, Bene Beach, nestled in beautiful natural surroundings, is worth the extra distance. 6. Discover the Markets of Split For a taste of local culture, visit Split's bustling markets. Start with the Fish Market, not only a hub of city life but also housed in a charming Secessionist-style building. Continue to the Pazar, the fruit and vegetable market, which surrounds the Church of St. Dominic and holds a special place in the city’s history.

Get ready to visit Split

What is the best time to visit Split?

Split enjoys mild weather year-round, but summers can get quite hot. If you're looking for a beach holiday focused on relaxation, July and August are ideal, with minimal rainfall and perfect sea temperatures. However, if you prefer a more active vacation with plenty of excursions, May, June, and September are better options, offering cooler weather and lower prices.

Are 2 days enough to visit Split?

If you're strictly talking about visiting the city, two days are a good option to see the main attractions and try some local specialties. However, one of the great things about Split is its strategic location, close to beautiful beaches and just a short distance from nature excursions. That's why we recommend spending at least four days in this part of Croatia.

Which traditionals foods should you try in Split?

Fish, meat, and vegetables—the cuisine of Dalmatia is simple yet diverse. One of the must-try dishes is pašticada, a traditional dish said to have originated in Split, made with meat that’s marinated for a long time in spiced vinegar and then slow-cooked in a rich sauce. Another local specialty is brujet, a spiced fish stew prepared with the catch of the day, vegetables, and wine. You should also try risotto al nero di seppia (squid ink risotto), Dalmatian prosciutto, and meat-stuffed zucchini. For dessert, don't miss fritule, soft fried dough treats dusted with powdered sugar.
