About Split
On the way of Dalmatia’s islands, this beautiful city has completely shaken off its image as an old industrial backwater. It has reinvented itself as a metropolis where urban and relic life intersects. Visitors and tourists love to revel in the vintage vibe of this city. It has an intricate knot of paved streets that are popular for their Diocletian’s Palace throbs. Roaming around this palace is one of the most famous activities for people in summer.
The second-largest city of Croatia has incredibly beautiful sweeping beaches. Bacvice beach, for instance, is just miles away from Diocletian’s Palace and can give you the most secluded experience. Split has a bustling nightlife scene and is a great choice to visit if you are a party-lover. Plus, you can take a short ferry ride or rent your private yacht to spectacular islands, including Brac, Vis, and Hvar.
