Best Time To Visit Split
A month-by-month guide to weather, crowds, and travel conditions in Split, Croatia.
About Split
Split grew inside Diocletian's Palace — a 4th-century Roman emperor's retirement home that became the old town: peristyle cafés, temple-turned-baptistery, and basement markets. The Riva promenade fronts the ferries to Hvar, Brač and Vis.
