Discover Split Trip 2026

Built by Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century, the palace still forms the living heart of the old town today, with apartments, shops, and restaurants nestled among ancient walls, cellar vaults, and the Peristyle, one of the best-preserved Roman structures in the world.

The palm-lined waterfront promenade right in front of the walls of Diocletian's Palace is the social center of the city, with countless cafés, views of the harbor and offshore islands, and serves as a popular meeting spot for an evening stroll.

The forested hill west of the old town serves locals as a green recreational oasis with hiking and jogging paths, small chapels, and several viewpoints offering a magnificent view over the old town and offshore islands.

The cathedral's bell tower, originally Diocletian's mausoleum, can be climbed via a narrow spiral staircase and rewards visitors with a spectacular panoramic view over the old town's red rooftops, the harbor, and the mountains beyond.

Split Airport is located about 25 kilometers west of the city and connected to the center by airport bus in about 40 minutes. Direct flights from Zurich and Geneva also run several times a week in summer.
