Split, Croatia - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Split
Top best places to visit in Split, Croatia
Split is the second largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia.
It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and because of its ideal climate, with a lot of sun each year, locals often nicknamed their city as the “Mediterranean Flower”.
Split is built around the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian and wandering the historic center you can still clearly see the Roman temples, squares, streets, gates and walls.
On the main square stands a building, originally built around year 300 as a mausoleum for the Roman emperor Diocletian, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the oldest cathedral building in the world.
There are four entrances to the Palace:
Through the monumental, eastern Silver Gate.
Through the western Iron Gate with the old city clock counting 24 digits. Outside this gate is located the Old Town Hall and the People’s Square, the central venue of the city’s social life.
The Golden Gate, the northern entrance, is a favorite tourist spot, together with the nearby grandiose statue of the Gregory of Nin.
The southern Brass Gate is modest in size but also the “main” gate as the tourists pass through it most frequently coming and going on the Riva, the main city promenade.
At the other end of the Riva promenade is situated a beautiful venetian plaza, the Republic Square.
Split is an oasis for those who look for a natural stress relief.
On Marian Hill there is a big forest park with wonderful panoramic views.
Around the park are many perfect places to swim, like the Kasjuni Beach.
Or, favorites among locals, the beautiful pine forest Bene Beach.
Split has many museums worth a visit, such as:
The Archaeological Museum, the oldest museum in Croatia.
The Museum of Fine Arts, which contains works from the 14th century up to the present day.
The Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments that presents cultural artifacts of the Croats in the Middle Ages.
The Mestrovic Gallery, an art museum dedicated to the work of the sculptor, Ivan Meštrović.
The city is a home for one of the biggest and oldest theaters in Croatia, the National Theater.
In Split you can not miss the multi-use stadium as it is one of the sportiest cities in the world.
Just outside the city are the ruins of Salona one of the biggest towns of the Roman Empire.
It has a very well preserved basilica, cemetery, amphitheater and many other Roman buildings.
About 10 km from Split there is the Klis Fortress, a medieval stronghold with fascinating history and an incredible view.

Split Travel Guide - Croatian Taste of Happiness
Split Travel Guide - Croatian Taste of Happiness
Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia. The city was originally built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Despite initial appearances, however, the city is not a small tourist town, and extends over a large area well beyond the ancient core. With over 300,000 people in the wider bay area, it's the economic hub of the eastern Adriatic shoreline (the unofficial capital of Dalmatia). Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples.
Because of its ideal climate, with 2,800 hours of sunlight each year, local people have a few nicknames for Split: The most beautiful city in the world and Mediterranean flower. Many famous Croatian sports people are born in Split, so locals often nicknamed their city as The sportiest city in the world. The most popular sport institution is the football club Hajduk. The whole city is painted with the club's colors and logo. This is done by Torcida, the oldest supporters group in Europe, established in 1950. Beside bell tower of St. Duje, the symbols of city are the Dalmatian dog and a donkey. Locals have a high place for the donkey because of its past indispensable place in field work and transport across Dalmatian mountains.
Split is much, much larger than other coastal towns (Rovinj, Pula, Zadar, Sibenik) and has modernized as the city has grown. If you're expecting the same charm as these cities and towns, you will be disappointed.
Winters in Split are generally mild, with temperatures above 0°C, but despite the popular saying that the city experiences snowfall once every 30 years, there is actually at least one snowy day nearly every winter, usually in January or early February. If you find yourself in Split on a day with significant snowfall, expect serious traffic disruption.
Central Split is quite compact and most sights can be easily seen and best experienced on foot, but there are frequent local buses to outlying attractions and the airport. Most of the city buses in Split are new AC and low floor. Tickets can be bought at kiosks or from the bus driver. Only single-journey tickets can be bought in buses at the driver. There are many companies that offer speedboat transfer/taxi service to nearby destinations; half-day, daily & weekly rentals; and guided excursions with a skipper.
The most famous local delicates is Soparnik. It originates from nearby Poljica region (formerly known as Poljička Republika or Republic of Poljica). It is a crepe-like dough filled with Swiss chard and onions and baked on fireplace. On top comes olive oil and garlic. You can find it on Pazar (green market).
Split and surrounding parts of Dalmatia have an extensive system of private accommodations where visitors can rent a room (Sobe) or an entire apartment (Apartman) from a local host. Some of these accommodations can be arranged ahead of time via booking sites on the internet, but most are arranged in person upon arrival.

To top it off, Split has a unique setting. Its dramatic coastal mountains act as the perfect backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic and help divert attention from the dozens of shabby high-rise apartment blocks that fill its suburbs. It's this thoroughly lived-in aspect of Split that means it will never be a fantasy land like Dubrovnik.

The Interesting Split Ethnographic Museum
Tourists usually bypass the very engrossing Split Ethnographic Museum because of limited sightseeing time. We, however, spent four days in Split and sightsee like we talk...Fast! The Ethnographic Museum is also free with the Split Card which certainly helps.
A person could probably spend most of a day inside. We zoomed through spending the most time looking at firearms, jewelry, clothes and, believe it or not, the Grandfather chairs. Visit if you have the time...

Croatia - RRF Deployment Support Speeded Up
T/I: 11:23:40
Preparations speeded up on Sunday (23/7) to support the UN's Rapid
Reaction Force being deployed in Bosnia. A UN supply plane was
re-directed at short notice from its normal work of transporting
military equipment to the the Croatian port of Split to facilitate the transport of Dutch armoured personnel carriers (APC) to bolster the Rapid Reaction Force's needs. A giant US C-5 Galaxy plane landed at Split airport carrying a number of APCs. So urgent was the movement of new equipment that all of the APCS were being shifted without the customary coat of white paint which distinguishes them as UN tanks. The APCs had come from the Netherlands.
