Chronicles of Split
Split began as a retirement palace for the Roman emperor Diocletian in AD 305, its fortified core now a UNESCO World Heritage site. After the fall of the empire, locals moved into the palace's abandoned halls, creating a living city within Roman walls. Under Venetian rule from the 15th to 18th centuries, Split gained its Gothic and Renaissance architecture, visible in the narrow streets of the Old Town. Today it's Croatia's second-largest city and a ferry hub connecting to the Dalmatian islands, defined by a buzzing café culture around the ancient Peristyle.
Best Time to Visit
Full Split guide →Best months
May and September – warm enough for swimming (24-28°C), far fewer cruise-ship crowds than July-August.
Peak / festival surge

Budget shoulder season
Late April, early June and October – hotel prices drop 30-50%, weather is still pleasant (18-24°C), and the Diocletian's Palace is walkable without queueing.
Weather & packing
The Bura wind can gust fiercely even in July, making evenings unexpectedly chilly. Pack a light windproof jacket and sun cream (SPF 50+ mandatory).
