Split Holidays

Fly direct to Croatia and discover the forested beauty of the country's second-largest city. Holidays to Split take you to the Dalmatian coast, with Adriatic views from all sides of the peninsula. This UNESCO-listed town offers the perfect blend of shopping, sunbathing, and outdoor adventure.

The Old Town

Split’s Old Town was given UNESCO World Heritage status for its well-preserved ruins of the Palace of Diocletian. The palace is believed to have been built in the 3rd and 4th centuries. It’s also noted for its huge range of different architectural styles. As you stroll through the narrow streets, you’ll find great examples of Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque buildings, many with classic terracotta-coloured roofs.

Outdoor activities

The very tip of the Split peninsula is dominated by the Marjan Forest Park. This is an amazing place for outdoor enthusiasts. There are a huge number of walking trails that meander up, over, and around the hills. If you’re feeling particularly energetic, challenge yourself to climb the 314 steps that lead up to the park’s highest point at 178 metres, Telegrin. Keep your eyes peeled for the church built into the rock face.

Museums

Split is bursting with museums. It’s easy to learn about the city’s rich history, with a maritime museum, natural history museum, art museum, and city museum. But be sure not to overlook some of the more unique attractions in the Old Town. In the heart of the city you’ll find a Game of Thrones museum. There's also a museum dedicated to taxidermied frogs positioned into human poses and real-life scenarios.
