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.

How much time do you have?

Make the day fit the clock.

Start with the time you really have. The destination gets easier after that.

3 HOURS

Start with orientation.

Walk the Riva first, check the sea and choose between a half-day swim and a full island run.

ONE DAY

Pick one direction.

Three sea experiences we would look at first after arriving in Split.

STAY THE NIGHT

Stay after the rush.

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.

Worth the Detour

This sphinx was ancient before Diocletian ever saw it.

1.5 H · OLD TOWN

Let someone decode the palace.

Diocletian’s Palace is easier to understand with a guide than with a map. Ninety minutes is enough to make the stones stop looking like background.

Short pick
Bookable, compact and chosen to leave breathing room around your ferry day.
