Split, Croatia
Let’s split
This elegant Croatian waterfront city on the Dalmatian coast is compact (making it walkable), historic (being built around an ancient palace) and highly likeable (with a lovely climate from early Spring onwards). Go and explore a touch of ancient civilisation by the sea, rich in life and full of colour.

Must see:
The late ancient era Diocletian Palace is unique for a whole number of reasons. Built between 209 and 305 AD, it’s a wonderful example of perfectly preserved ancient architecture, now sensitively presented to the public. Don’t forget to explore its cellars to see the many artefacts discovered on site.
Must eat at:
Kod Joze on Sredmanuska has a whole selection of delicious dishes inspired by local traditions. It’s family run, too, and everyone seems to get involved.
Must be there for:
Every September, the International Festival of New Film comes to venues around town. Embracing all sorts of moving images – from film to video and digital media – the festival supports experimentation and innovation.
Well-travelled tips:
- Some of the best sunbathing around is to be had at the beach at Bacvice – it’s immensely popular with the locals and really fills up on weekends.
- With beautiful coastline and tantalisingly blue sea, there’s plenty of sailing to be had – ask at the harbour about local charters.
Visa:
British citizens do not need a visa to visit Croatia.
Duty free shopping:
Although Croatia is in Europe, it is outside of the EU Value Added Tax Area so you can benefit from duty free prices on certain items purchased when travelling to Split through our terminals. More information.
