Your flight to Split takes you to the heart of the Dalmatian coast and Croatia’s second-largest city, founded in the 3rd century. See the magnificent Roman heritage of Split at the Palace of Diocletian and the archaeological site of Salona.
Explore the origins of Split and its significance to the Roman World at the Archaeological Museum with its statues, coins and ceramics. Immerse yourself in the local culture of Split along the Riva (seafront), bustling with bars and cafés.
For panoramic views, stroll up through Marjan Forest Park, 15 minutes’ walk from the historic centre of Split, or enjoy the beach at Bacvice. Or go hiking on Solta Island 15km offshore.
Locals in Split love their prsut (smoked ham) and Dalmatian wines. As an appetiser try the ligne (squid), lightly breaded and fried. Split has been a wine-producing region for centuries, so sample the full-bodied local Plavac Mali wines. |
