Best months: May, June, September and October.

What to see in Split

1. Palais de Dioclétien
   This is not a fenced-off monument: the palace is the living heart of Split, with homes, shops and café terraces tucked between Roman walls.
2. Cathédrale Saint-Domnius
   The mausoleum built for Emperor Diocletian became a cathedral, so you step into a church that still occupies the original Roman building at the heart of the palace.
3. Riva (front de mer)
   The Riva is the wide, palm-lined promenade along Split's harbour, right below the south wall of Diocletian's Palace.
4. Colline de Marjan
   This peninsula covered in Aleppo pines rises above Split and gives you a real green break a few minutes from the old town.
5. Plage de Bačvice
   This is Split's sandy beach, a rare detail on a coast of pebbles, and the one where locals actually go for a swim.
6. Marché vert (Pazar)
   Pazar is where people in Split still do their everyday shopping, right outside the walls of Diocletian's Palace.
7. Konoba Fetivi
   This family-run konoba in Varoš, tucked behind the Church of St Francis, serves unfussy Dalmatian fish cooking in a simple, well-kept dining room.
8. Villa Spiza
   Villa Spiza is a tiny family-run table in a pedestrian alley a few steps from the walls of Diocletian's Palace, serving simple, homemade Dalmatian food.
