Crowned the “Most Beautiful city of the World”, the coastal town of Split juggles culture, history, shopping and a vibrant life with remarkable panache. Consider this; the historical centre of the old town and the first place your Split tour guide will direct you to, the Diocletian Palace, also provides a beautiful backdrop to Croatia’s best pub crawl in addition to shopping opportunities in its medieval alleys.
Or how about the fact that after marveling at the grand pulpit of the Split Cathedral, you can turn the visit into an adventure sport by climbing to the top of the bell tower for some panoramic views of the city.
Which is just as well given the exhaustive choices available to a tourist. Explore the Old Town for it’s squares, monasteries and temples, visit the Meštrović Gallery showcasing the work of the great Croatian sculptor and the Archaeological Museum displaying historical finds from the roman and Greek times, shop at the Green market for souvenirs, hike up the Marjan Hill for scenic views or relax at the Bačvice beach rounding it off with a delicious seafood meal at the Riva promenade.
