Things To Do In SPLIT Croatia | TOP 10

Things To Do In SPLIT Croatia. Split Top 10 Travel Guide. I will show you my favourite 10 Things To Do In Split. I’m Rok and I’ve spent last 8 years travelling around Europe as a tour guide. I want to show you my favourite top 10 tourist attractions in Split, including amazing Split old town. It used to be Diocletian palace, build in 305 for Roman emperor and parts of this palace are considered to be the best preserved roman buildings.
Things To Do In SPLIT :
00:00 - Introduction to Split
00:43 - Klis Fortress - Game of Thrones filming location:
This medieval fortress near Split might look familiar if you ever watched The Game of Thrones. It sits on a pass that separates two mountains and it was used to control the coast. With more than 2.000 years of turbulent history it offers great view of modern Split.
02:20 - Marjan Forest Park: park right above the harbour looking down at Split. It has been cherished by the citizens for generations since it is only 15-minute walk from the city centre.
03:31 - Mestrovic Gallery: Ivan Meštrović is the greatest Croatian sculptor. He worked in 20th-cenutury and his works are in every corner of the city. Beautiful grand villa is an art gallery and art museum dedicated to his work and used to be his home.
04:44 - Bacvice beach: the most popular party beach with restaurants, cafe bars and nightclubs. This beach is also the birthplace of a special beach game called picing that is played in the shallow waters.
06:03 - Republic Square: one of the main gathering places in Split. Citizens know it as Prokurative after the building with arches. It was built in the middle of the 19th century by a Mayor, who was keen to emphasise Split’s ties to Italy.
06:55 - Strossmayer’s park: emperor Diocletian walked through the Golden Gates as he entered his grand Palace for the first time on the 1st of June 305. The gates are part of the north wall of the Palace. And on the outside is this nice tree-shaded park with the Art Gallery and monument of Bishop Gregory of Nin. It is believed that rubbing bishops toe brings happiness and makes your dreams come true.
08:16 - Split waterfront: the living room of Split. It is the most popular and most important public space in the city. Riva is a pedestrian zone with cafés, restaurants and gelato places. It is also a stage for numerous cultural and entertainment events and place where people of Split welcome their successful athletes.
09:43 - The People's Square: first inhabited part of Split outside the Diocletian Palace, where Split’s nobility lived. It has beautiful venetian and renaissance houses and palaces that surround the square. Here is also one of Splits landmarks, small and beautiful clock tower with a bell on top. The clock is unique for showing all 24 hours with all 24 digits on the one dial.
11:20 - Cathedral of St. Domnius: symbol of Split, the oldest Roman Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure. It is also considered to be one of the best-preserved ancient Roman buildings still standing.
Next to the cathedral is the iconic bell tower that was built in the 13th century. It is a true landmark of Split and can be recognised from the distance. You can climb its steps and get great views of Split and Adriatic.
12:56 - Diocletian’s Palace: Game of Thrones filming location: Roman Emperor Diocletian gave up the throne of the Roman Empire and decided to retire here in his huge retirement palace. Over the centuries people adapted parts of the palace and significantly changed its original appearance, but the outlines of the Imperial Palace are still visible. Substructures of the palace represent one of the best preserved ancient complexes of their kind in the world.

[@rokgoesaround]

Agreed.

[@stevewaite6461]

Just found this and will visit all of these places in just 3 weeks time, going to have a trip to Brac as well. 2 years ago before the world went mad, my booked holiday was cancelled but luckily I kept hold of the flights. My wife and I stayed at Orebic and travelled up to Split via the islands. There was a free music gig right outside the British Embassy building one evening, so many people just chilling and having fun. We are super excited to be returning and truly love Croatia.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds really nice. I hope your next trip will be also amazing.

[@helensaxton3027]

Thank you so much for this vid, very useful for our 4 day stay in Split! Bit more info - if you are going to Klis Fortress get the Line 22 bus from HNK bus stop (next to the Croatian National Theatre) - 13kn single trip and take about 30 minutes. You can probably do Fortress in about 1 hour. Also check the map for the beach - we followed the path and ended up at the port (a dead end). Waterfront amazing for drinks and snacks, inside the palace is the best but more expensive food. Highly recommended!

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for your info. Much appreciated.

[@parttimetravellingfamily]

Rok! You are absolutely fantastic mate... we're currently travelling Croatia and I wanted to give you a heads up because we basically watched your videos on Pula & Rovinj and used your information (because it was so great) instead of our usual wikipedia search. SO we will be putting out videos over the next few weeks and some (nearly all) of the facts we speak on.. are straight out of your mouth. I guess I just want to say thank you and we will mention you in our vlogs in Zadar Split & Dubrovkin. thank you again and keep doing what you're doing. 🖤

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Nice to hear that. I wish you a great experience and all the best with you videos. Thanks for the reference.

[@tankiman2368]

I watch this channel from my country Indonesia ,because amazing , support you got commercial break

[@rokgoesaround]

Thank you.

[@Svenywhere]

Great transitions with Google Earth Studio. I really need to dive more into that programme. Didn't know there was a ford nearby that was used in GoT. Seems my visit there was too short and I have to go back at some point.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@martinc.720]

Whoever makes a video about Split and gets a sponsor to give them a dollar every time they say "Diocletian" would be set for life haha Great video, thank you!

Hey Daniel. Glad you like the video. This was pre-Covid time, september 2019.

@@rokgoesaround I expected that. Do you know how the situation is there now? I was planning on going there in August for holiday

[@popstour4823]

Hi Rok, can you advice me for a good car rental company in Split airport. We are going to Croatie in June.

[@rokgoesaround]

Sorry, I had no experience.

[@djesidjenis4576]

Video is great, but when talking about Split people often miss very important thing that would match perfectly to this list. It's a sport. Split is arguably no1 sport city in the world "per capita". For example, did you know that first K1 tournament winner is from Split, Branko Cikatić. Also, officialy best Euro basketball club in 20 century is from Split, Jugoplastika. Split gave two of five Nba hall of famers from Croatia , Kukoč and Rađa, and a lot of champions in sport generally. You can check it all in museum of Split sports.

[@rokgoesaround]

Agreed. Thanks for your input.

[@lidiabano4698]

who cares about sports- that is also not true because a lot of them come from herzegovina and other parts of balkans- plus people move- are they all born in Split?

[@korallrev3497]
