Why visit Split?
Split functions as a living archive where the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s retirement palace serves as the urban foundation. You will walk through the Peristyle, a marble courtyard that has hosted locals and emperors for seventeen centuries, before ducking into the subterranean cellars of the Vestibule. Outside the ancient walls, the Riva promenade pulses with energy as residents sip espresso under palm trees, watching ferries depart for the Adriatic archipelagos. Navigation requires no map; simply follow the stone corridors to reach the bustling Pazar market, where vendors sell sun-drenched figs, local honey, and fragrant lavender bundles.
Culinary life here centers on the bounty of the Dalmatian coast. At a traditional konoba, order a plate of crni rižot, a jet-black cuttlefish risotto stained with ink, followed by a serving of pašticada, a slow-cooked beef stew simmered in a spiced wine sauce. After sunset, hike the pine-scented trails of Marjan Hill for a panoramic view of the red-tiled rooftops against the darkening sea. Once back at the harbor, head to the Bačvice beach area, where the shallow waters provide the perfect stage for games of picigin, a local pastime involving acrobatic leaps to keep a small ball aloft in the surf.
