General presentation
Split et Dalmatie centrale
Large Dalmatian gate around Diocletian Palace, Riva, beaches, ferries and nearby mountains.
Palace of Diocletian, Riva and Marjan give the most telling landmarks of Split and Central Dalmatia. Together, they form a destination where urban life, coastline, heritage and mountain reliefs meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: busy centre and summer heat. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
Strengths and constraints

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Ville historique de Trogir
Trogir stands on a small island connected to the coast, with a tight network of alleyways, Venetian palaces, Romanesque churches and lively docks. Its cathedral, carved doors and clear stone facades reveal a Dalmatian city where Greek, Roman and medieval layers remain visible a few steps away.
Remarkable location
Šolta
Šolta is a Dalmatian island more discreet than its neighbours, known for its coves, olive groves, stone villages and small ports such as Maslinica or Stomorska. Split, it offers a simple maritime escape, suitable for swimming, short walks and days without too tight a schedule.
UNESCO Heritage
Palais de Dioclétien
The Diocletian Palace is not an isolated monument but a piece of inhabited city, crossed by alleys, squares, cellars and ancient facades. It is this superimposition between Roman empire and daily life that makes Split So immediate.
Seafront
Riva de Split
La Riva is the great maritime salon of Split, with palm trees, facades, terraces and back and forth from the ferries nearby. It is worth less as a site to visit than as a rhythm to take, between dense old town and Adriatic horizon.
