Old Split is a labyrinth of picturesque streets and alleyways. There are modern shops and cafes squirreled away within this maze of streets More

It took about a week or so to really get to know the back alleys & small restaurants tucked away in the many nooks & crannys of Old Split. I never got tired of wondering around, day or night, walking along the flagstone streets worn smooth by countless millions of feet over 1700 years or so. More

We found it on Bookings.com and there are many... More

The town’s people have kept their city mostly intact over all these years, the renovation of the buildings in the old parts of Split has been kept to the old traditional... More

As the old city is not that big, you can see it within a few hours. Just let yourself go and walk where your instict takes you - one street nicer than the other. As there are no cars, it's very relaxing. You nearly can't get lost, as the old city is not very big and on one side you... More

A place to explore again and again, I always find something new each time, as there is over 1700 years to past through and it is a living city there is always something happening and sometimes something new that has been dug up. There are tours in many languages by foot or by bike, or just get a tour guide... More
