Why visit Split
Split grew inside the walls of the palace the Roman emperor Diocletian built for his retirement around 300 AD. Today the Peristyle courtyard, the cathedral bell tower and the vaulted cellars are part of a lived-in old town of cafés, shops and homes, with the palm-lined Riva promenade along the harbour.
It is also central Dalmatia's main port. Speedboats and ferries leave for Hvar, Vis and the Blue Cave on Biševo, and Plitvice Lakes National Park, with its chain of waterfalls, is a full-day trip inland.
Highlights
- Diocletian's Palace and the Peristyle
- Island-hopping to Hvar and Vis
- The Blue Cave on Biševo
- Plitvice Lakes National Park
- Local art in the old town
