Travel Tip
Swim Off the Rocks
Away from Bacvice the bottom is rock and shingle rather than sand, which keeps the water clear all season. Locals swim off the slabs under Marjan and the coves at Kasjuni; bring swim shoes and watch the ladder on the way out.

Eat Like a Local
Order the things this coast does best: whole fish priced by the kilogram, black cuttlefish risotto, shellfish in a buzara, pasticada with gnocchi, and prsut to start. Finish with a rakija poured by whoever made it.

Car hire
Hiring a car in Split
Compare the local operators on one screen. Worth knowing before you book: the Old Town is pedestrian and the lots outside it fill by mid morning in August, so most visitors hire for the days they leave the city rather than the whole stay.
Common questions
Common Questions
May to mid-June and September to October are the sweet spots: warm enough to swim, cool enough to walk the palace lanes without melting, and rooms cost noticeably less. July and August run past 30 degrees with the year's biggest crowds on the Riva and at the Peristyle.
A morning covers it properly. The palace is about two hundred metres across, so the Peristyle, the cathedral, the cellars, Jupiter's Temple and the market are all a short walk from each other. Add the bell tower climb and a long coffee on the Riva and you have filled a day.
The airport sits at Kastela, about twenty four kilometres north west. The shuttle bus meets flights and reaches the city in around forty minutes; taxis, Uber and pre-booked transfers reach Old Town accommodation in half an hour, and Trogir in about ten minutes.
No. The palace quarter is entirely pedestrian and no vehicle reaches most doors. Parking sits outside the walls, is charged by zone and fills by mid morning in summer, so visitors staying inside the quarter usually park at the harbour or in a garage and walk in with their bags.
Calls run from spring into November and berth on the eastern arm of the harbour, a ten-minute walk from the palace, so passengers are inside the walls early. The Peristyle and the Riva are heaviest from about ten until mid afternoon; early morning and evening stay calm.
For a half day, yes. The ferry to Supetar takes about fifty minutes as a foot passenger and costs a few euros, and the island gives you white stone villages, olive groves and swimming off the rocks. Zlatni rat at Bol is further and wants a full day, or the faster catamaran.
