Discover everything Split has to offer

Diocletian’s Palace

Split began getting the contours of the town in the ancient times, during the time of the Roman emperor Diocletian, who decided to build a palace as a sort of a weekend retreat in the place where today’s town center is. The palace and the old town center are protected as the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. The impressive walls, substructure halls and squares where life still takes place today are breathtaking

Nautics

Split is the port and maritime center of Croatia. Take boat trips on a fun cruise to the islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis and discover hidden coves and beaches ideal for all-day enjoyment

Ultra Music Festival

During the summer, Split hosts the biggest electronic music event – the Ultra Music Festival, visited by hundreds of thousands of partygoers from all over the world. During the month of July, Split becomes a festival metropolis bustling with life

“If you saw where I have settled, you would never ask me to return” – those were Diocletian’s words when he was asked to return to Rome from Split. He left behind the most beautiful city in the world. What an emparor!

The people of Split “patented” the term fjaka – a physical and mental state of striving for nothing. It affects the locals in the afternoon during high heat. It should not be misinterpreted as laziness though. Fjaka is similar to the Spanish siesta
