Split

Split, the largest city in Dalmatia and the second largest in Croatia, rests along the Adriatic coast within central Dalmatia. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Split is also embraced by the Mosor mountains to the northeast, Kozjak to the northwest, and the iconic Marjan hill – one of the most important symbols of the city. The center of the city is Diocletian’s Palace, which was built from 295 to 305 by the Roman emperor – the reformer Gaius Valerius Aurelius Diocletianus. With a Mediterranean climate, Split experiences dry, hot summers and cool, moderate winters. It serves as a cultural and transportation hub, boasting the second largest Croatian port and the third largest passenger port in the Mediterranean. Additionally, Split is a focal point for education as the university center and administrative hub of the Split-Dalmatia County, with a population exceeding 160 thousand according to the latest census. Nestled amidst the islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta, and Čiovo, Split’s strategic location makes it an ideal destination for a short getaway. Its proximity to various cities, attractions, and islands enables visitors to embark on day trips and explore as much of the charms of Dalmatia as possible.
