Discover Croatia trips visiting Split
Roman history, coastal evenings and easy island links from Split’s waterfront
Split is an excellent base for Croatia trips, combining an atmospheric old town with straightforward links to nearby islands and broad coastal scenery. Some itineraries focus on guided touring within the city, while others pair Split with sailing routes and island stops along the Dalmatian Coast. If you prefer to travel at your own pace, there are also self-drive options with accommodation arranged in advance and key logistics taken care of. At the centre is Diocletian’s Palace, where Roman stonework sits alongside cafés, small squares and everyday local life, making it easy to explore on foot between scheduled visits. Many travellers also add time by the sea before moving on, whether that means a waterfront stroll or a relaxed evening meal. Split can also feature within wider Europe routes, with some trips continuing into Albania, Austria, Bosnia And Herzegovina and beyond.

The cabin was tiny and the food very ordinary, as was the guide. PLEASE NOTE Our itinerary and On The Go notes told us to board the ferry at the port of Split - if we had followed these instructions we would have literally missed the boat. The port of Split is closed for 2 years and all ferries leave now from the port of Trojor.

The truffle hunting with sampling after is a welcome change from the old walled cities as is the oyster tasting and winery tour. It would have been great to have an option to go to the Blue caves from Hvar or Split. Nice to go to Hvar but definitely need options once there on boating expeditions.

Split trips at a glance
Trip and guiding style
Trips visiting Split range from fully guided tours to partly guided, semi-independent and self-guided options, depending on how much structure you want day to day. Many itineraries include a guided city walk or a set excursion, while still leaving you breathing space to explore independently. Trips are often operated by trusted local partners, with support arranged at key points along the way.
Accommodation
Accommodation varies by itinerary, from 3 star hotels through to 4 star accommodation and 5 star hotel stays, with different inclusions depending on the trip style. On sailing routes, you may travel on Premium, Premium Plus, Deluxe or Deluxe Superior ships, while certain itineraries use simple hostels and a traditional boat. Star ratings can differ by country, and if a property sells out we may substitute a similar standard in a comparable location.

Why start in Split
A coastal base for history, islands and relaxed Adriatic time
Split suits travellers who want a distinctly coastal atmosphere with a strong sense of history, without sacrificing convenience or variety. It works for many trip styles, from short city breaks to longer guided tours and sailing trips that weave together the Adriatic’s best-known islands. The old town sits within Diocletian’s Palace, so in a single walk you can move from Roman arches and vaulted passages to lively squares, local markets and waterfront cafés. Split also makes a practical jump-off point for island routes, with connections that link the mainland to Hvar and Korcula and, on some trips, to Vis, Brac or Mljet for swims, sheltered bays and unhurried walks. For a change of landscape, certain itineraries add Plitvice Lakes, trading sea views for shaded trails and cascading waterfalls. Because Split can act as a start, an end, or a key stop en route, it’s straightforward to choose the right balance of guided support and personal time.
Frequently asked questions

Do trips visiting Split include a guide?
Guiding varies by itinerary, with options that are fully guided, partly guided, semi-independent or self-guided. Many trips include a guided walk in Split or locally guided visits on set sightseeing days, then leave you free time to explore at your own pace.
Is Diocletian’s Palace included on Split itineraries?

Which nearby places are often paired with Split?
Many itineraries pair Split with island stays such as Hvar and Korcula, as well as nearby historic towns like Trogir. Some routes also add Plitvice Lakes, which gives a contrasting inland section with lakes, trails and waterfalls.
Are Split trips suitable for a relaxed holiday?
Yes, particularly if you choose an itinerary with longer stays, fewer travel days and time built in for the waterfront and nearby beaches. Other trips are designed to cover more ground in less time, which can feel more intensive, especially on multi-stop touring routes.
What is the difference between group and private trips visiting Split?
Group trips are shared with other travellers and follow a set itinerary, which can suit those who like a sociable travel style and a clear daily plan. Private trips are arranged for your party only, and they typically allow more control over timings, whether using private transfers or a self-drive format with key services organised in advance.

During peak travel periods, if a named property is unavailable, we may confirm an alternative accommodation of a similar standard and in a comparable area.
Are meals included on Split trips?
Meal plans vary by itinerary: some include breakfasts and selected lunches or dinners, while others keep most meals independent. This approach gives you flexibility to try local restaurants in Split and sample regional dishes as you travel along the coast.
Do Croatia itineraries visiting Split stay only in Croatia?
