Split, Built Around You
Split is built around Diocletian's Palace, a 4th-century Roman emperor's retirement palace that's still lived in today as the city's old town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Riva waterfront promenade in front of it is the city's social hub, day and night.
Split is also the main gateway to the Central Dalmatian islands — Brač, Hvar and Korčula are all a short ferry away — and the starting point for Krka National Park and Cetina River activities. Rather than a single fixed itinerary, this is a starting point for a private trip built around how you actually want to use it. Tell us your dates and interests, and we'll plan the rest.

Split trip questions, answered
Is Split worth a full day, or just a stopover?
It's worth a full day on its own — Diocletian's Palace alone takes a few hours to explore properly — but it's also the easiest base for island and river day trips.
How much time do I need in Split?
Half a day covers the old town; a full day if you want to add Marjan Hill or the Riva at a relaxed pace.
Can Split be combined with other places?
Yes — it's the natural base for Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Krka and the Cetina River.
Is this a private trip?
Yes — every tailor-made trip is fully private, with your own vehicle and driver-guide, planned around your dates and interests.
