SPLIT DAY TRIP FROM DUBROVNIK

Discover the hidden gem of the Croatian Dalmatian coast with a visit to Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. With its population of 250,000, Split has become a tourist hot spot, attracting visitors from around the world. Nestled under the magnificent Marjan hill and surrounded by the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta, Split is a Mediterranean paradise that you don't want to miss.

Split's rich history dates back to Roman times, where Emperor Diocletian built his retirement palace for himself and his family. The city has since been inhabited by Croatian Kings and has undergone centuries of Venetian and Austrian rule, leaving behind unique architecture and cultural influences that make Split a must-visit destination.

Thanks to the new coastal highway built in 2013, Split is easily accessible from Dubrovnik, making it a desirable and accessible location for all travelers.

As you approach Split, you'll make a stop at Klis fortress, which stands proudly on a limestone ridge overlooking the city. This historic site bravely defied Ottoman Turks for many years, and its story is so powerful that it was even used as a filming location for HBO's Game of Thrones.
