Step into a living 1,700-year-old Roman palace in Split, Croatia’s most captivating coastal city, where the massive Diocletian’s Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved Roman imperial residences in the world—forms the beating heart of the old town with its marble streets, peristyle square, underground cellars, and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius (the world’s oldest continuously used cathedral) rising from the emperor’s original mausoleum. Stroll the lively Riva promenade lined with cafés, palm trees, and sea views, wander the narrow marble lanes of the palace interior filled with hidden bars, boutique shops, and atmospheric restaurants, or relax on the nearby beaches of Bačvice (famous for its shallow waters and traditional picigin ball game) and Žnjan—all in a walkable, energetic city that perfectly blends ancient Roman grandeur, buzzing Mediterranean life, and the warm, welcoming hospitality of Dalmatia.
Savor fresh Adriatic seafood risottos, black cuttlefish risotto (crni rižot), sweet rožata custard, and crisp Dalmatian white wines amid marble reflections, sea breezes, and the unmistakable rhythm of a place where an emperor’s palace became a thriving modern city.
Split isn’t just a destination—it’s Croatia’s most magical fusion of Roman palace living, seaside energy, and Dalmatian soul—plan your Split escape today!
