What to See in Split

Split is a city that blends 1700 years of history with modern coastal life. Whether you love ancient ruins, beautiful viewpoints, or lively nightlife, Split delivers plenty to explore.

Diocletian’s Palace: The Heart of Split

No visit is complete without exploring the massive Roman palace built in the 4th century. It’s not a museum—you walk through a living city. Inside you’ll find:

  • The Peristyle, a dramatic square perfect for photos
  • St. Domnius Cathedral, one of the oldest in the world
  • A bell tower with panoramic views
  • Ancient temples hidden between cafés
  • Stone alleys that feel like a movie set

Marjan Hill: Split’s Green Paradise

Marjan is a natural escape inside the city. You can hike, run, bike, swim, or simply enjoy the views. Popular spots include:

  • Vidilica viewpoint – a must for sunsets
  • St. Nicholas Church – tiny 11th-century chapel
  • Marjan beaches – crystal-clear water under pine trees

Riva Promenade

This sea-side boulevard is the city’s living room. Sit for a coffee, enjoy people-watching, or catch one of many street performances in summer.

Old Town Squares

Split’s charm comes from its little squares, each with a story:

Voćni Trg – boutique shops and photo spots

Fruit Square – Venetian architecture + art galleries

People’s Square (Pjaca) – cafés surrounded by medieval buildings
