Split Day Trip Guide: What to See & Do

Spending your holiday in Makarska? Then you’re in the perfect spot for a quick getaway to one of Croatia’s most fascinating cities — Split. Just a short drive away, Split offers that unique blend of ancient history, buzzing Mediterranean energy, and postcard-worthy scenery.

Whether it’s your first time in Croatia or you’ve been here before, this day trip is the perfect way to add a bit of adventure and culture to your vacation.

Why Visit Split?

Split isn’t just a city — it’s a living museum. At the heart of it all is Diocletian’s Palace, built by a Roman emperor more than 1,700 years ago. Today, locals still live and work within its ancient walls. You’ll wander through narrow stone streets, discover hidden courtyards, and feel the pulse of history under your feet.

But Split isn’t only about the past. The Riva promenade is perfect for soaking up the sun with a coffee in hand, and the local markets and restaurants offer a real taste of Dalmatia.

What’s Included:

Guided tour of Split’s historic center
Comfortable transportation in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle
Friendly, professional driver
Travel insurance for a worry-free trip
Everything’s taken care of — you just bring your curiosity and a camera.
