Best things to do in Split
Sightseeing
Diocletian’s Palace is one’s the most sought-after out of all Split attractions.
Roman emperor Diocletian built himself a super-sized palace on the Dalmatian coast as his abode after retirement at the turn of the 4th century.
Split is built into and around the Diocletian settlement.
Diocletian’s complex was a colossal fortified structure that housed the imperial palace and military garrison.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Diocletian Palace isn’t exactly a palace but a beating heart of the city. This is where you’ll spend the majority of your time when in Split.
With almost 220 buildings within its walls, the palace complex is home to about 3000 people.
The palace is an irregular structure with many towers on the northern, eastern, and western façades; the emperor’s apartments on the southern façade which was along the seaside that receded with time.
Its narrow maze-like streets leading to numerous passageways and courtyards are jam-packed with cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, and apartments.
The major attractions within the palace include:
The Cellar and Basement Hall
If you enter through the palace’s Brass Gate, you’ll spot souvenir shops lined on both sides of the passage that leads to Peristill.
It’ll look familiar to GOT fans as it’s where dragons are kept. The basement is well-preserved and wonderfully retains the ancient structures.
Peristyle or Peristil sqare
The historic central square or open-air pavilion of the Diocletian’s Palace, Peristyle is flanked by the Split Cathedral and bell tower on the eastern side and the Vestibule of the Emperor’s Quarters on the southern side.
Emperor Diocletian would walk to Prothyrum (balcony) through the Vestibule from his quarters into the Peristil and his subjects would kneel down in front of him.
Walking the courtyard is like walking back in Roman and Egyptian times.
Today, the courtyard brims with hoards of tourists – some posing with men dressed as Gladiators, some appreciating the history, and some enjoying the hospitality of Cafe Luxor.
Vestibule
The Vestibule of the Emperor’s Quarters was the formal entrance to the Diocletian’s Palace’s Imperial apartments. Vestibule’s impressive rectangular structure from outside and circular from inside mesmerizes visitors.
Look up and witness the blue sky through a dome-like opening. Awe-inspiring! There once used to be a beautiful dome that collapsed but how and when no one knows.
This space is used for klapa performances (a traditional form of acapella singing in Dalmatia performed by many singers in a group) as the vestibule has amazing acoustics.
Cardo
Cardo is one of the main streets through Diocletian’s Palace.
Cathedral and Bell tower of st. Domnius (st. Duje)
Originally, the Mausoleum of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, the Cathedral of Saint Duje was converted to a cathedral in the 7th century and is considered the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world.
The bell tower of Saint Domnius, an example of original Dalmatian Medieval architecture was added in the 13th century. The bell tower construction lasted for almost 300 years.
It graces the Split skyline. You can climb to the top of the bell tower to relish the 360-degree panoramic views over the entire Split.
Cathedral treasury on the first-floor houses relics of St. Domnius or St. Duje, the patron saint of Split.
The crypt below the cathedral was converted into the Chapel of St Luce.
Four Town Gates – Golden Gate, Silver Gate, Iron Gate, and Bronze Gate
The quadrant Diocletian’s Palace has four gates, one on each side –
Bronze Gate (south gate)
Iron Gate (west gate)
Golden Gate (north gate)
Silver Gate (east gate)
All the gates lead to the historic center of the palace – Peristil.
Gregory of Nin Statue (Grgur Ninski)
Just outside the Golden Gate stands the 28 feet tall statue of Gregory of Nin by Ivan Meštrović.
Rubbing the toe of the statue of Gregory of Nin is said to bring good luck.
Let Me Pass Street
Let Me Pass Street or Pusti me da prodjem is one of the narrowest streets in the world.
It’s right next to the Temple of Jupiter.
There’s no entrance fee into the Diocletian Palace and it is open all the time (24/7). Though some of the individual attractions inside the complex require a ticket like the Cellars, Cathedral of Saint Domnius Treasury, Split Bell Tower, and the temple of Jupiter which can be purchased at the entry to individual sights.

The Fish Market is, just like Pazar, one of the central points of the city life of Split, but also an interesting architectural monument, built over 120 years ago in Secession style. It is important to note that its meaning for the citizens of Split greatly transcends this merely "physical" dimension. All that the Adriatic sea can offer comes to its tables, from sprats, picarels, sardines, mackerels, to more expensive redscorpion fish, dentex, red porgy, sea bass, lobsters, sea shells... The only thing that's missing are flies, it seems that they don't care for the smell of sulphur coming from the neighbouring spa, one of the reasons why Diocletian, burdened by rheumatism, chose exactly this place to build his Palace. Just like on Pazar, the Fish Market, or Peškarija, as the locals call it, will make you feel the affiliation of Split and Dalmatia to the Mediterranean, its culture and civilization.
Peškarija has become too small for Split long time ago, but it is too valuable for the preservation of the city's spirit for anyone to even think of giving it up. The visitors coming to the fish market for their "portion" of Split are also very aware of this fact.

Marjan is the symbol of the town of Split. It is a hill, peninsula and a park forest located on the western part of the Split peninsula. Bene beach, one of the oldest beaches in Split, is located beneath Marjan.
A ramp barrier will stop you from driving your car to the beach, so you would have to walk one part of the way or take the bus number 12 which drives from the town and passes the beach. More recently you can also take the small tourist train which passes by several times a day.
There is a tower on the beach with experienced lifeguards watching over your safety. There is a sports center behind the beach where you can rent different sports prompts.
During great heats, find a spot beneath the pine tree tops which will offer you the much needed shade. There is a coffee bar near the beach, as well as a food and drinks kiosk and a restaurant in which you can savor different Dalmatian specialties.
