Location

About Split

Split, the second largest city in Croatia, has a special Mediterranean influence that makes it especially welcoming, cozy and warm. The city of Split was for quite some time the hidden gem of the Croatian coast, but in the past few years, more and more people have discovered its beauty and its two thousand years of history. What makes Split so special is the old city hidden inside the well-preserved walls of the Diocletian palace, the crystal-clear blue sea and the locals who spend every day drinking coffee and soaking up the year-round sunshine. Split is worth more than just a visit – so come take a walk on the seaside promenade, Riva, and live like a local on the Dalmatian coast!
