Split

The story of Split spans 17 centuries – ever since the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to build a palace for his retirement on the sunny peninsula near Salona. Over the course of 1700 years, that palace grew, changed, and transformed into the city that today delights visitors with its rich history, culture, and tradition.

Diocletian's Palace and the historic core of Split have been under UNESCO protection since 1979. However, what makes Split special is not only its remarkably preserved heritage, but also the fact that in this living labyrinth of Roman cellars, medieval churches, Gothic palaces, Renaissance portals and Baroque facades, the everyday life of a charming Mediterranean city still takes place.

Here, locals and tourists share the same cafés, market, fish market and – of course – coffee on the Riva, the main stage of Split’s social life. The city of 160,000 inhabitants is as proud of its heritage as it is of its passions: sports, music, art and entertainment. From top-notch gastronomy and a rich festival calendar, to museums and theatres, to major events like Ultra Europe – Split truly has something for everyone.

The city centre of Split is located 7 km from Stobreč and is easy to reach, either on foot or by bicycle along the coastal path via Žnjan and other city beaches, by car or by local bus lines no. 25 (from the centre of Stobreč), 26, 27, 28, 29 or 60 (bus stop Šine 2 on the D8 road).
