What to do in Split-Dalmatia

The Riva is a broad and buzzing, palm-lined esplanade with numerous lively bars and cafés, as well as oceanfront benches. It’s a popular gathering spot during the day and there is always something happening here at night too. Listen to live music in a bar, watch street performers put on a show or observe the boats coming and going in the harbor while you enjoy a cup of coffee.

Bačvice Beach is the most popular beach in the city of Split, attracting both natives and vacationers to its energetic shores. Challenge friends or family to a game of picigin, splash about in the shallow Adriatic waves or sip a beer at one of the beachside bars.

Diocletian’s Palace is home to some of the most remarkable Roman ruins on earth. Once a retirement home for a powerful emperor, this ancient fortress has evolved into Split’s old town. Today, about 3,000 locals now live within its confines. Wander through narrow lanes and look for remains of the old palace and its fortifications.

Split Marina is a luxurious, well-kept marina west of Split’s attractive old town. Rent a deluxe vessel for a leisurely excursion or celebration of a special event or stop at the marina to marvel at the impressive vessels docked at the shore.

Kašuni Beach is an attractive beach destination for swimming and sunbathing. More peaceful and rural in feel than Split’s main Bačvice Beach, it is a good place to enjoy a relaxing day out. Bask in the sun and lounge away an afternoon on its tranquil shores.

The picturesque stretch of coastline of Brela Beach attracts sun-seeking vacationers with its good looks and warm waters. It’s a pleasant place to spend an afternoon or stroll around during the evening. Swim in the waters of the Adriatic Sea, lie in the sun or wander along the shoreline.
