The beautiful city of Split is the second largest city in Croatia, and we can also say the largest coastal city with a soul. Split is a large transit center for passenger ships and a place where some guests stay for a short time and go to other centers. It is an economic and cultural center of Dalmatia, located on the central part of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, and has a little more than 160,000 inhabitants. It is connected to all Central Dalmatian islands by sea. The climate is moderately warm with little rain, and the heat prevails in summer days. Summers in Split are hot and moderately dry, while winters are humid and sometimes colder due to strong gusts of gale force winds.
Upon entering the city, we can see beautiful palm trees, the main paved Split waterfront and smell the scent of the Mediterranean atmosphere, which increasingly attracts foreign guests. Split has numerous well-preserved sights and a rich cultural heritage, and is ideal if you are looking to explore a rich history. Recently, Split has become a very popular tourist destination with millions of visits throughout the year, which include foreign as well as domestic visitors.
