Step into ancient Rome while standing firmly in the present inside Split's Old Town. The UNESCO-listed Diocletian's Palace forms the heart of this living museum with marble streets winding past Roman columns and medieval additions. Peek into the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, explore underground cellars, or simply watch local life unfold in buzzing squares and courtyards. Traditional konobas serve fresh seafood and Dalmatian wine in centuries-old stone cellars throughout the district. Boutique hotels and apartments within palace walls offer unique stays in converted Roman structures. This compact, pedestrian-only zone invites exploration, while the adjacent Riva waterfront promenade connects you to island ferries and city buses.
Bacvice's iconic sandy beach is where Split locals and travellers unite for sun-soaked fun. You can join a game of picigin (a beloved Croatian beach ball game) in the shallow turquoise waters or lounge on the shore with views of Diocletian's Palace. The palm-lined promenade buzzes with energy, connecting beachfront cafes to nearby attractions like the Port of Split. Waterfront tavernas serve fresh Dalmatian seafood while beach bars transform into lively nightspots after dark. Most accommodation offer sea views from modern apartments or boutique hotels just steps from the shore. The area shines with excellent walkability—just a 10-minute stroll puts you in Split's historic centre.
Step back in time through the cobbled lanes of Varoš, where 13th-century stone houses with cheerful green shutters whisper tales of old Split. Ancient steps wind towards the fragrant pine forests of Marjan Hill, offering breathtaking Adriatic views through medieval archways. The Church of St. Nicholas stands sentinel over intimate courtyards where locals go about their daily lives. Family-run konobas serve up fresh seafood and traditional Dalmatian dishes in this walker's paradise. Accommodation options include charming stone apartments in historic homes, where you'll experience genuine Croatian hospitality. With limited vehicle access, comfortable shoes are essential for exploring this authentic area where modern life flows gently around centuries-old foundations.
Meje's coast treats you to postcard-perfect views of the Adriatic and nearby islands. Stroll along seaside promenades past traditional stone villas, or soak up the sun at Kaštelet Beach and Kašuni's pebble coves. Pine-scented cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop for swimming in crystal-clear waters. Marjan Forest Park offers hiking trails for when you need a break from beach life. Upscale seafood restaurants serve fresh Adriatic catches on terraces with spectacular sunset views. While hotels and holiday rentals tend towards the luxurious side, they deliver on Mediterranean coastal elegance. The area is best explored on foot or bicycle, with limited bus connections to Split's centre just 20-30 minutes away.

Ancient Roman ruins form the living heart of this coastal gem, where locals sip coffee in cafes built into 1,700-year-old walls of Diocletian's Palace. The UNESCO-protected old town buzzes with life as shopkeepers and residents occupy spaces where emperors once walked. Bacvice Beach offers crystal-clear swimming just minutes from historic marble streets. Game of Thrones fans recognise filming locations throughout the city, while the Croatian National Theatre provides cultural evenings after days spent exploring. Take a ferry from the bustling port to nearby islands for day trips, or climb the bell tower of Saint Domnius Cathedral for panoramic Adriatic views. The seafront Riva promenade transforms at sunset into the city's communal living room.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Split
Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Split is during January, March, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those eager to delve into the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to fully appreciate the key landmarks, including historical castles, museums, and monuments, as well as enjoying leisurely sailing or boating experiences around the marina. Additionally, the charming cafes and budget-friendly tours offer great value for money, making Split an excellent choice for travellers on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover affordable accommodation options in Split, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on nearby hotels as your travel date approaches.

Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best options for your budget. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be promptly notified to secure your last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could allow you to save on your stay in a hotel in Split. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and occasionally better value.
