Split Tourism

Split is the second largest city in Croatia that offers a typical Mediterranean charm with its busy and vibrant ports. Buzzing with activities and commerce, these ports in Split have come to represent the essence of the city. Located on the Dalmatian coast, this city was actually given its present shape by the Romans who visited and inhabited it. Today the ruins of Diocletian’s Palace are the emblems of the glorious Roman past here.

As for Split’s culture, it remains laid back and relaxed as expected of a coastal town. Sports and water activities remain a main charm here. Once recognised as the gateway to the other parts of Croatia, Split today has no dearth of attractions that make up for a tourist destination. There are busy squares that state an old world charm and architecture. Then there are historical monuments to keep you engaged. Meander down the streets of Split and wade through its boutiques, cobbled streets and restaurants that offer a fairy tale like glimpse. Meant to be the retirement home of the Roman emperor in the fourth century, Split lives up to its original purpose of establishment.

At last if you have had enough of the cultural and historical centres, visit Riva- the beautiful point from where you can enjoy the beautiful seascape and immense water sports associated with it. A trip to Split will definitely make you fall in love with Croatia ever so more.
