Diocletian's Palace

#holidayitinerary Split in Split Dalmatia County, Croatia, is a city that blends ancient history with a lively Mediterranean vibe. At the heart of it all is Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels more like a living neighborhood than a museum. Wandering through its narrow stone streets, you will find shops, cafes, and hidden courtyards that keep the old Roman walls full of life. The waterfront promenade, Riva, is perfect for a relaxing walk, enjoying the sea breeze, or people watching with a coffee in hand. Split is also a gateway to the nearby islands, making it a great base for day trips. The beaches around the city are inviting, especially in the summer, when the Adriatic is crystal clear and refreshing. With its mix of history, culture, and coastal charm, Split offers something for every traveler, whether you want to explore, relax, or soak up the local atmosphere.
