General Info

  • Tap water: Tap water in Split is generally safe to drink.
  • Emergencies: For any urgent help — police, ambulance, fire, rescue — dial 112.
  • Working hours on Sundays: most shops — including supermarkets — are closed on Sundays. Shops may open on up to 16 Sundays per year, at their discretion.
  • Holidays & supermarkets: On national holidays, supermarkets and many shops usually remain closed — even in summer tourist areas.
  • Restaurants, cafés, bars working hours: These are typically not affected by the Trade Act — so even if shops are closed, most restaurants, bars, and cafés remain open on Sundays and holidays.
  • Payment Methods & ATMs in Split: Most places in Split accept cards (Visa/Mastercard), but it’s still good to carry a bit of cash for markets, small bars, and kiosks. For withdrawals, use bank ATMs (Erste, PBZ, OTP) and avoid Euronet machines, which charge high fees.
