Split Attractions

 
Croatia's second largest city, Split is appropriately named in the eyes of the modern visitor. In one area you have the beautifully preserved old town with the Palace of Diocletian and in another area you have heavy industry, shipyards and some less reputable neighborhoods. Although Split was originally not well set up for visitors, this is now changing with a growing selection of good hotels and dining options appearing.

Many visitors now choose Split as a convenient base to explore the surrounding attractions. The ancient city of Salona is located nearby as are five beautiful beaches including Zlatini Rat, Brela, Pakleni Island, Solta and Milna.
