Things to do in Split
Explore Diocletian's Palace FREE- This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the heart of Split and a must-visit attraction for any visitor to the city. Many travelers expect Diocletian’s Palace to be a standalone building where they pay a ticket and go in. Well, Diocletian’s Palace is actually a whole neighborhood today — and it represents more than half of the old town of Split! People live inside it and you can even stay overnight in it. The palace was built in the fourth century AD for Roman emperor Diocletian. Today, walking through the stone walls feels like you’re part of history.

There are two ways to climb to the top of Marjan Hill: you can either take the stairs or do the forest hike. If you make it to the top, you’ll see a Croatian flag and a large cross 178 meters high. Kasjuni is another great beach located at the base of Marjan Hill, with one of the best views from the water.
