If you happened to visit Croatia, it is a good idea to spend a day and a night in this peaceful coastal city. Split is about 3 hour coach or driving from the famous “game of throne” city Dubrovnik. We were visiting during the autumn n winter time. You can basically “own” the street or restaurant. The price of hotel and restaurant is really friendly when it is in a cooler weather here. It is quite a good deal to save money if you just want to visit the historic site. The old town of split keeps the ancient tower and make you feel like you are in a movie. We live next to the habour area can enjoy the breathtaking view. The whole city is within walking distance. You can easily reach DM, restaurant and a little shopping mall within 20 mins walk from south to north. There is split airport around 15 mins drive from town. It is a beautiful new modern airport that consist of pretty much everything you need. Although we visited in a fall time, it won’t be a surprise that the city would be popular and crowded in a summer. I mean who will deny a Croatia beer next to a coastline. #split #Crotia #harbour #oldtown

#0 yen trip To Split The second largest city in Croatia after the capital Zagreb, Diocletian's Palace and the historic sites of Split are located there. After entering the gate, you arrive at the palace courtyard "Peristil". It can be said to be the main stage of Split, with its beautiful 12 Corinthian stone columns. When talking about the history of Split, it is essential to mention the ancient Roman Emperor Diocletian. He was originally from a poor family but rose to become emperor and is famous for his talent for politics. He was also a person who feared the theistic Christianity that was spreading at the time and suppressed it. As the Roman Empire declined, the palace fell into ruins, but people later settled there and used it as a town, developing it, and it is still inhabited today, making it a city with a very unusual history. It's amazing that he rose from poverty to become an emperor in the past🤴 And the fact that the area around the palace has become a residential area makes it seem like living in royalty🏰

Split, an old town built on top of a palace The city was built after Diocletian's Palace was abandoned, so there are traces of the palace everywhere, such as underground spaces and squares 🏰 There are many souvenir shops and open-air markets, and in the shade of the trees, there was an old man playing the guitar and singing, so it was full of energy 🍎 I stopped by a souvenir shop to buy some lavender potpourri, and the old man there said, "Japan is my favorite country," which made me very happy 🩷 #Croatia #Split #Croatia #Split #CroatiaTourism #Diocletian'sPalace
