Split is a Dalmatian port city whose historic centre grew around Diocletian’s Palace. Roman walls, squares and temples sit alongside later buildings, making it a good fit if you like exploring history on foot and want the sea close by.
Wander through Diocletian’s Palace and its four gates, including the Golden Gate, then visit Split Cathedral and its bell tower and the Temple of Jupiter by the Peristyle. For art and maritime history, head to the Split Art Gallery or the Maritime Museum in Gripe Fortress; at Bačvice beach you can swim or play picigin.
Pleasant from May to June and from September to October
