Things to do in Split.
The palace is only the departure point.
Split puts Diocletian’s Palace beside the ferry port, but the best days often begin by leaving the old centre behind.
Where to stay
Choose the right base.
Stay near the waterfront for early departures and an easy first walk. Choose a quieter neighbourhood when you want the destination after the day-trippers leave.

3 ways off the quay.
Three sea experiences we would look at first after arriving in Split.
HALF DAY
Blue Lagoon, Then Trogir
Blue water, Trogir stone and a half-day that does not ask you to cross the whole Adriatic. The sensible Split escape.
See availability →FULL DAY
Five Islands, One Long Day
Five islands in one day is ambitious, but the route earns it when the sea is calm and the caves are open.
See availability →SUNSET
Split After Sunset
Split is better from offshore at the end of the day: a swim, a glass of wine and the city turning its lights on.
