Split

Roman ruins, Vibrant festivals, international sports fixtures, island hopping, great food and charming hosts. This is Split.

Sit at one of the many waterfront bars or resteraunts and just people watch. The rich and famous come here from every corner of the globe. Some say its like watching a fashion show.

Walk through the amazing Diocletian Palace with its pre-Christian sphinxes, and the best marble that neighbouring island Brac could provide. This is still a busy city.

Pavement cafés, cosy bars and plenty of shops mix with two lively markets and chic apartments built from the very barracks where Diocletian's soldiers once lived.

Visit this 1,700-year-old living museum during Split's Summer Festival and experience cultural events often staged in the open air.
