What to see in Split in 7 days

A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.

day1

Getting to know Split

An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.

  • All day

    A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.

Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.

day2

The main sights

The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

  • All day

    A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.

Up to 30 °C in the days ahead — do the walking in the morning and spend midday indoors.

day4

A day out of town

Get beyond the city: the nearby towns and countryside are usually what stays with you. A rental car is the practical way — public transport on these routes is slow and infrequent.

  • All day

    Kastel Sucurac

    Kastel Sucurac is 13 km from Split, about 21m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day6

A tour, or a second trip out

A good day for a guided tour: a guide tells you what the signs don't, and takes the driving off your hands.

  • All day

    Kastel Luksic

    Kastel Luksic is 18 km from Split, about 25m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

Book the car ahead: in season there is little left and the counter price is higher.

day7

Last day and departure

A calm finish: a favourite spot once more, some shopping, a late lunch. Leave yourself room before the airport.

Allow twice what the map says for the airport run — it is never the quiet hour when you need it.

Fantastic driver, safe driving and knowledgeable

The driver was super friendly, service minded and had excellent English. Would completely recommend him! His name is Benedict. I am sure the other drivers in the company are good too..

Best Sailing Holiday!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with 45D Sailing and couldn’t recommend them more highly, especially for anyone considering sailing in Croatia for the first time. Having never sailed before, never chartered a boat, and never visited Croatia, we were understandably a little nervous about arranging a boat charte…
