Split is filled with fascinating historic sites to explore on a trip. Holiday homes can be found near places like Saint Domnius Cathedral, a historic fourth-century church with a Romanesque bell tower, and Old Jupiter’s Temple, a third-century Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter with an Egyptian sphinx. You’ll also like the Archaeological Museum, Croatia's oldest museum, filled with tens of thousands of diverse artefacts in an estate-like space with a garden.
You'll find a bounty of museums, galleries and other cultural institutions in Split. High rollers can test their luck at the Platinum Casino Split, and history buffs can explore the 4th-century ruins of the massive Diocletian's Palace, or head to the Etnografski muzej Split for a taste of local culture. The city's got more art museums than you can shake a stick at, but you can't go wrong with the Galerija Mestrovic – here, you can scope out numerous works by the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, all housed in the artist's former studio space.
With such a wealth of ancient history – going back to the Roman period and beyond – it's no wonder that sightseeing is a major pastime in Split. Throughout the city, you'll find stunning 4th-century cathedrals and palaces, as well as plenty of shops, bars and dining. If it's water you're after, then you're in luck – Split's got loads of sandy coastline along the Adriatic Sea, and you can find plenty of space for swimming and sunbathing. Or you could try your hand at 'picigin', a local volleyball-like sport that's played in the shallow water at Bacvice beach.
Somewhere between a Mediterranean and humid subtropical climate, Split has hot, relatively dry summers and cooler, wetter winters. Average summer highs peak around 30 degrees in July and August, while winter temperatures range from 6 to 11 degrees between December and February. Rainfall is most common from September through May, but the area generally sees plenty of sunshine all throughout the year. Thanks to the pleasant temperatures and limited rainfall, summers are the area's busiest season, and you can usually find the best rates on Split vacation rentals during the slower, cooler months between autumn and spring.
Couples can enjoy many romantic experiences in Split. Holiday rentals are available near Marjan, a recreational hub on a forested hill with city and harbour views, benches and trails for walking and biking, and the Golden Gate, a Roman stone entryway with arches and ornate statues in an idyllic location. You’ll also like the Split City Museum, a museum with paintings, sculpture, weapons and armour in unique displays.
