A truly beautiful city! I need to get there someday.

Excellent article and photos!! Very interesting!

Split is amazing! And I love your article, I missed out on some of the things to do. Instead I visited all the Game of Thrones filming locations in and around Split I tried to visit as much as possible early in the morning avoiding the crowds, this place seems to be very popular already...

Thanks for this! A real reminder of how artificial our categories (Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Mediterranean, etc.) seem when we see how much in common they share!

Absolutely a beautiful city! I wonder how many days you'd recommend the first time visitor spend in Split?

Hi, guys! I'm glad you like the post and the city, too. Yes, it's really beautiful! @Travel Luver, it's a tough question. Depending on what would you like to do there? Visiting the city only or perhaps paying a visit to its surrounding area (which I highly recommend)?

Thanks for the response Goky. Usually I like to do at least one daytrip from a city I visit, What would you recommend?

If you're a sightseer and don't want to be in a constant hurry, I recommend 5-6 days for the first visit. Split is, actually, not a very large city, but has a plenty of historic sights and nice places to offer. You'll have enough time to explore the city in a relaxed tempo and doing it on foot would be the best, use taxi/bus only for longer distances. Including the daytrip to the area, round it up to 7 days. Also, Trogir is a charming small town pretty near Split so don't hesitate to take a...

There's news this week about two "biggest" ships. One is the Allure of the Seas, biggest cruise liner afloat, and the other is a ship under construction, but so far without a name that will be the largest square-rigger sailing ship ever built. Royal...

Truly a vision and sight every tourist should witness off the Dalmatian coast, the city of Split happens to not only be the second largest city in Croatia but one of its finest.  It is a place constantly buzzing with life and exudes the perfect...

Demes shares travel to the Elaphiti Islands in Croatia - Sipan, Lopud, and Kolocep. Interesting flora, great beaches and historic towns are well worth visiting.

A beautiful city in Croatia, with beautiful beaches, mountains, a historic core and a fun vibe!

Croatia's smaller seaside towns are less-known that the bigger cities, but offer some of the best destinations, with great climate and a rich heritage.

Sitting off the coast of Croatia is a lovely heart-shaped island that has become a symbol of romance and a draw for couples.

Alex gives several tips on how a tourist can take advantage of the many wonderful destinations Split has to offer.

These places are amazing! I'd never heard of any of them before. Thanks for sharing them with us

Thanks for the post, Alex, and welcome to TravelGumbo! All these places look pretty amazing! Is there a particular favorite you have?

Thanks for such an informative post! Great job and welcome to TG!

It's been years since I've been to Croatia and your post convinced me I need to look at going again.Thanks!

Thanks for cluing me in...I'd only ever heard before about the big cities, like Split! Really interesting to see how much ancient Europe was so connected! Roman arenas everywhere!

Thank you! I like all these destinations. I think that maybe Pula is my favorite, it is extremely beautiful.

I nominate Galesnjak as the world's exclusive location for "love locks".

Great piece! Brings back some great memories!

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia after the capital, Zagreb, and it shows.

Very interesting article. We have been to Croatia, but never quite made it to Split. We shall avoid flying Croatian Airlines! I never had a very high opinion of Star Alliance in any case. Lufthansa is one of the founding members and we have had terrible experiences with them.
