Split is one of Croatia’s most incredible cities and with its Roman architecture beautiful landscapes and endless history there is so much to experience in this city. So in this video we’re walking through the top things you need to do and see when you visit Split Croatia let’s start with
One of split’s most famous icons Diocletian’s Palace this massive complex is over 1,700 years old and is one of the most Lively spots in Split this half Palace half Fortress was built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s who’s probably most famous for being the first Roman Emperor
To voluntarily step down and given he built this entire Palace to be his personal retirement home you really can’t blame him here you can wander the palace grounds for free but if you want to climb the palace’s iconic Bell Tower or visit some of the inner rooms in the cellar you’ll need
To purchase tickets which you can do from one of the most scenic queuing locations we’ve ever seen even if you don’t purchase tickets you can expect to hear a live clapa acapella performances in the palace’s vestibule which is a fun and free way to experience Croatian culture [Music] Over the centuries regular civilians moved into the decaying Palace ruins and now today it’s a mix of ancient buildings and modern shops we couldn’t believe that even the grocery store here had ruins among the shelves which is even more surprising given the whole Palace as a UNESCO
World heritage site making this probably the only UNESCO protected grocery store on the entire planet so we are wandering around Diocletian’s Palace right now this is so much fun to explore the majority of this site is free to explore but there are a couple of different upgrades you can
Make including the bell tower the Crypt and a couple other spots we decided to stick to the free section and we are not disappointed it is so cool to see all of these old Roman ruins and it’s
Also actually reminding us a lot of Venice not so much in the architecture aspect but just in this small winding streets and Alleyways it’s very easy to get lost in the old town here and just wander your way through the city and come across some hidden surprises so definitely give
Yourself some time to just explore while you’re here so one thing you might want to know before coming to split is that they’re actually pretty serious about their rules here since the palace is a UNESCO world heritage site and it spans a decent amount of the Old Town there are a lot
Of rules set up so there’s no nonsense around this place one rule that really surprised us is you’re actually not supposed to be wearing beach wear at all throughout the city so if you’re planning on having a beach day and you’re wearing your swimwear make sure you bring some coverups or
You might get fined a pretty significant [Music] amount next on our list of top things to do in Split is the climb Marjan Hill .Marion Hill is a Scenic Overlook and split and offers amazing views of the city and the Adriatic Sea the park itself is quite large and you’ll find
Plenty of nature line paths and hiking trails to explore the most famous hike here is telegrin Hill which is the highest point in the city the name comes from the word telegraph as when Napoleon conquered split he installed a telegraph station at the top of this Hill and while the telegraph
Is now gone it’s been replaced by a giant Croatian flag which waves proudly over the city so if you’re looking for one of the best views in ol of split definitely take a wander off marjan Hill it’s definitely a pretty steep hike but we were able to
Do it in about 30 minutes from the center of split and the telegran Overlook in particular offers you the best 360 view of split you can see pretty much anything from here so definitely take a hiup but definitely bring some water with you
And besides the views another reason this hill is so cool is because of the history this has been a public park for over a thousand years starting with the ancient Romans and you can clearly
See why it just smells like a Yankee Candle store with all the Pines it is such a beautiful slice of splits really quick we want to give a big thanks to the sponsor of today’s video betterhelp travel

On some great Croatian Cuisine nearby there’s a famous and highly rated Bakery towards the base of the Hill that you can check out to grab some of split’s best Croatian treats we just popped into this famous bakery here in split and immediately upon walking in there were
Tons and tons of delicious looking varieties we asked the shop owner what they thought we should get and they recommended this sweet bread which they explained is one of the pastries this Bakery known for and it looks like it’s really beautifully prepared the bread itself
Is actually really malleable and you can bend it almost like you would a chain and while it was tough to decide on just this past there were tons of them in there we actually even saw one piece of cake that looked identical to what we had for our wedding cake in Bled
So as tempting as it was to get that we had to go with the recommendation to get this delicious looking chain bread so I’m going to go in my first bite here tons of powdered sugar on
Top wow it is so light and fluffy almost like an undercooked pretzel and it has just tons and tons of sugar caked on top so it’s almost like a sweet pretzel it’s actually a lot better than I was expecting that’s really good and if you’re hungry for something that’s not sweet they also
Have sandwiches here too and we got both of these for €3.50 which is actually pretty good the prices and split have been a little bit higher than we expected so it’s nice to find a good deal
Here for [Music] lunch and no trip is split will be complete without taking the time to wander up and down its famous Coastal promenade this palm tree line path carves through the the heart of split and provides great views of dian’s Palace and the Adriatic Sea here you can find restaurants
And cafes lining the promenade where you can expect to dine with terrific views which you might use to justify the promenade slightly more expensive prices even if you opt not to sit at the cafes there are plenty of public benches where you can sit and take in the spectacular views
We found this area to be absolutely magical around Sunset and is a very Lively Street to explore and [Music] split another top thing to do while you’re in but it’s a see it’s amazing Coastline from the
Water one of the best ways to do this is to buy a ticket to go on one of these boats here there’s different kinds of boats you can take some take you to specific rock formations or caves and
Some are just strictly party boats we’ve seen tons of these boats passing and it looks like it’s an absolute blast lots of music playing people having fun and looks like an all around good time if you
Want to get on the water and split and you have tons of different options to do this while walking along the promenade you’ll find plenty of vendor selling tickets for all kind of water focused experiences you can book snorkeling and scuba tours swimming tours that include local caves or
Even just music filed party boats we found split selection to be quite wide here and whether you’re looking for traditional boat pirate ship or even a glass bottom submarine so if nautical nonsense is something you wish there are plenty of options here in [Music] Split next we’re heading back to
The area near dian’s Palace where you’ll need to stop by the next item on our list and that’s splits Green Market this Open Air Market has been an operation since the Middle Ages and is
An amazing spot to shop like a local pick up some fresh food or find a Croatian souvenir the green Market’s also home to some tasty restaurants that can whip you up some iconic Croatian Delicacies
At a relatively affordable price we sto by a vegan food stall here to fuel up and we absolutely loved it so we are in the Green Market right now and we figured we would stop in to get a little
Bit of greens ourselves so this is a Vegan Street food shop pretty close to where all the action is in the Green Market and we heard it’s really good and provides you a
Whole lot of food for your money so this was about € 12 here but we got it to split and I think it’s going to be plenty food we just got the basmati rice with tomato sauce and grilled vegetables that’s exactly what it looks like and it looks amazing she prepared it right
In front of us just know that it is cash only here if you decide to go so I’m going to dig in that’s really good as it sounds I don’t think I’ve ever thought to cook my rice in
Tomato sauce before that’s extremely flavorful going to get some veggies here as well that is really good and it’s really filling too which is exactly what we’re looking for and it [ __ ] pretty well which I think is hard to do with a pretty simple dish really [Music]
Good if you’re looking to spend more time on the water you’ll love the next item on our list and that’s to visit one of splits many beaches there are several beaches in the area along the Adriatic Sea and depending depending on what your preferred Beach style
Is there’s probably a beach here for everyone we went to this beach and while Rocky we found it to be quite enjoyable it’s only a 30-minute walk from dian’s Palace which we felt made it
An easy Beach to get to plus there were a few military relics here which were fun to see as well while here be sure to say hi to the friendly cat population who lives along the tree line by
