Welcome to Split, pride of Croatia!
If you were to stop and talk about Split with some locals, most likely someone would describe it as the most beautiful city in the world. Even if it isn’t, Split is certainly a city that will excite you; starting from Diocletian’s Palace, a true jewel and one of the best preserved Roman monuments on the planet.
Split, with its splendid Cathedral of St. Domnius; with its splendid Mount Marjan that offers a breathtaking view of the entire city; with its splendid Riva and the wonderful neighboring islands in which sea and nature blend together. So get ready for a holiday of sun, sea and… culture!
Since a holiday in Croatia is rarely limited to just staying in Split, people often opt for moving by sea.
The journey from Italy is not very long. Traveling by ship also allows you to bring your car, saving significantly on car rental and insurance costs.
The Port of Split is located along the main street Obala kneza Domagoja, just a 5-minute walk from the center. The train station and bus stop are located along the street.
The Ferry Terminal is the most important in Croatia. Most of the ferries from Croatia dock here: Bol, Brac, Dubrovnik, Hvar, Korkula, Lastovo, Solta, Vis. Connections with Italy with Ancona and Bari. Jadrolinja is one of the main shipping companies operating to/from the Dalmatian city.
The distances from the main European countries are quite demanding. From Italy, taking Venice as a reference, you have to travel about 600 kilometers to get to Split (over 400 of highway). For Milan, they are over 800 kilometers. From Budapest, around 750 while from Bucharest the 1000 kilometers are abundant.
France, Spain, Germany and most of Europe have really prohibitive distances.
The Croatian road section, being mostly coastal, runs slowly. Be careful and be cautious especially in the evening: in these areas the signs and lighting leave a lot to be desired.
The Split train station is well connected to the most important cities in Croatia; a little less with destinations across the border. From France, Germany, Italy, and almost all of Europe, two or more changes are needed to arrive at their destination. Taking into account the fact that trains are anything but frequent and efficient, we recommend this vehicle only if you intend to visit the hinterland. The official website of the Croatian Railways, moreover, it is not very usable.
