The Property — Radisson Blu Resort Split
This is a large, polished resort on the Znjan beachfront, about 10 minutes' drive east of Diocletian’s Palace. The lobby is cool marble and glass, with direct access to a private stretch of pebbly shore and two outdoor pools. It works best for families or travellers who want a reliable four-star base with sea views, sea access and on-site dining, rather than boutique character or historic atmosphere.
Chronicles of Split
Split was founded as a retirement palace for the Roman emperor Diocletian around AD 300, and his vast mausoleum and peristyle still form the living core of the old town. Over the centuries the Venetians, Austrians and Yugoslavs each left their mark, creating a layered city of Roman stone, medieval alleys and Habsburg boulevards. Today it is Croatia’s second city, a busy ferry port for the Dalmatian islands and a place where locals drink coffee inside 1,700-year-old ruins without fuss. The city’s identity is rooted in that organic continuity — ancient and modern pressed together, never sanitised into a museum piece.
Best Time to Visit
Full Split guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm enough for swimming (sea 20–24°C), long daylight, and a fraction of the July–August crush. The bora wind can still gust in May but the beaches are quiet and hotel rates are 30–50% lower than peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are absolute peak, driven by European school holidays and the Ultra Europe electronic music festival (early July). Hotel prices double or triple, the old town is shoulder-to-shoulder from 10am to midnight, and advance booking is essential. Full moon beach parties and day-trip ferries add to the pressure on infrastructure.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and October offer the best discounts — 40–60% off August rates, sea still swimmable until mid-October, and the old town returned to normal pace. November is cheapest but many seaside restaurants and ferry routes close or run reduced schedules.
Weather & packing
Split has a Mediterranean climate but the bura wind can whip through the Riva promenade even in summer, dropping the felt temperature by several degrees without warning. Pack a light windproof jacket or pashmina for evenings and keep one dry pair of walking shoes in reserve for sudden downpours.
Live City Briefing — Split
- The Riva promenade renovation finished in late 2025, so the waterfront is fully open again with new paving and extra seating — expect more public events there in summer 2026.
- A new direct ferry route from Split to Vis starts in June 2026, run by Jadrolinija on weekends; check the schedule if you want to escape to the greenest Dalmatian island without changing boats.
- The city has introduced paid parking zones all the way to Znjan beach, so if you drive to the resort factor in €1–2 per hour or use the hotel’s own garage (reserve ahead).
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Radisson Blu Resort Split, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the sea (south side), away from Put Trstenika. These floors have good views, less street noise, and clearer access to the lifts.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or facing the main road (Put Trstenika) — the road carries traffic and occasional lorry noise, especially in summer. Also avoid rooms near the lift lobby on any floor, as clatter and guest chatter carry.
Best views
Sea-view rooms on the south side (facing the Adriatic) give the best outlook. The property sits right on the coast, so these rooms overlook the bay and the nearby marina. North-facing rooms look onto the road and neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest — high enough to avoid street-level racket but still close enough to the lifts for easy access.
🔊 Noise notes
Put Trstenika is a main coastal road — not a motorway, but it carries steady traffic (cars, taxis, occasional buses) from early morning until late. Summer evenings bring more pedestrian and bar-goer noise near the hotel entrance. There's also a restaurant terrace on the ground level that can be lively until 11pm.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, the hotel has parking but spaces are limited — book ahead or arrive early (before 2pm) to avoid paying at nearby garages. 2. At check-in, politely ask for a high-floor, sea-facing room — they often honour it if you mention you're a light sleeper, especially during peak season.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Split
💡 Bring a book or picnic from Pazar and sit on the far eastern end near the fish market, where locals outnumber tourists. Avoid paying 30 kuna for a coffee at front-row cafes—walk one street inland for half the price.
💡 Buy a bag of sour plums (višnje) and almonds for a cheap snack. Haggle only if buying in bulk—locals pay listed prices. Best visited before 11am when produce is freshest.
💡 Enter through the Bronze Gate from the waterfront for a dramatic view under the vaults. Go early (before 9am) to avoid crowds.
💡 Walk up the 500 steps from Sustipan for a quieter route than the main road. Take a swim at Kašjuni beach on the western side—free and less busy than Bačvice.
💡 From the fortress, walk downhill slightly to a restaurant above the quarry to see the dragon skulls left from filming. Take bus 22 from the main station (10 kuna).
