Guide to Split

Welcome to Varoš: Discover the Most Authentic Part of Split

Varoš is one of Split’s oldest and most atmospheric neighborhoods, originally built by fishermen and laborers who supported life inside Diocletian’s Palace. Today, the area is a maze of narrow stone alleys, small squares, traditional stone houses, and unexpected viewpoints over the city.

Staying here means you experience Split the way locals do:
• waking up to the smell of Mediterranean herbs
• drinking coffee on the Riva within minutes
• hiking the first steps of Marjan Hill right from your door
• dining in konobas that serve recipes passed down for generations

Varoš is calm, historical, intimate, and perfectly connected to everything you want to see. It’s the best of both worlds: old-town charm and modern convenience.
