Located only 15 nautical miles from the Blue Lagoon on Drvenik Veli Island, the city of Split is one of the most vibrant destinations on the Adriatic coast.
This lively seaside city blends ancient history with modern Mediterranean charm — offering endless opportunities for sightseeing, relaxation, and fun.
Whether you’re looking for cultural landmarks, beaches, nature, or nightlife, Split has it all. It’s also one of the most popular departure points for boat tours to the Blue Lagoon Croatia, Hvar, and other Dalmatian islands.
The heart of Split is its Old Town, where most of the historical monuments and landmarks are located.
Here stands the world-famous Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 4th century by the Roman emperor Diocletian.

Every corner of Split tells a story — and discovering them is part of its charm.
In the western part of the Split peninsula lies Marjan Forest Park, a true natural sanctuary within the city.
Covered in dense pine forests and surrounded by the sea, Marjan is a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
It’s perfect for hiking, cycling, or panoramic walks, offering breathtaking views of the city, nearby islands, and the Adriatic Sea.
At the tip of the peninsula, you’ll find the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, one of the oldest in Europe.
If you’re in the mood for fun, head to Bačvice Beach — the city’s most popular beach and social hotspot.
By day, it’s a great place for swimming, sunbathing, and trying the local beach game picigin.
