Sightseeing Overview
Most of Split's monuments are located in Grad (the old town), which consists of the Roman-era Diocletian's Palace and a warren of medieval buildings contained within sturdy 14th-century walls.
Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda (known locally as the Riva), the palm-lined seafront promenade, immediately south of Grad, is also a popular spot for locals and visitors.
East of the old town walls lies the colourful Pazar (open-air market). Beyond this, you will find the bustling ferry terminal, with the laid back Bačvice Beach lying 10 minutes further to the southeast.
West of Grad, the pine-scented peninsular of Marjan rises behind Varoš and rewards exploration with a picturesque labyrinth of traditional Dalmatian stone cottages built into the hillside.
The coastal road heads southwest to the ACI Marina, which opens up sweeping views of the waterfront, and then continues on to the Meštrović Gallery and the Bene recreation ground, at the tip of Marjan peninsula.
The Splitcard offers discounts in various museums, restaurants and hotels, and with some car hire companies and travel agents. Available from the Tourist Information Centre and hotels, it is valid for 72 hours.
