Where to Stay in Split, Croatia

By Santorini Dave

The Best Areas to Stay in Split

Croatia’s second-largest city is a major draw in the eastern Adriatic region for its stunning threesome: historic Old Town; beautifully-restored, Roman-era Palace in the town center; and magnificent harbor, marina, and waterfront area called Riva. Split gets busy and crowded from early May to late September, especially if a couple of cruise liners are in dock.

Unlike Dubrovnik and other island rivals, there are three advantages to visiting Split. First, the city center is compact, with six of the seven areas discussed below within a 30-minute walk of each other (and Žnjan is just a little further out). Second, the main areas people visit and stay in – i.e., Riva, the Old Town, and the Palace – are flat, which makes walking easier. Third, the terminals for all island ferries, trains to Zagreb, cruise liners, and buses across the country, continent, and to the airport are alongside each other and within walking distance of just about every hotel listed below. (Those in Žnjan are within a few bus stops.)

Split Neighborhoods

Yes, you can stay inside the Palace – or, more precisely, within the extended and rebuilt walls of the Roman-era structure. This historic area is about 400 square meters/yards. It’s home to some of Europe’s finest boutique hotels, many sharing the original stone walls, the country’s best shopping, and dozens of cafés for soaking up the ambiance.

Centuries ago, a settlement, now known as the Old Town, was set up around the Palace. Like others in Croatia, this Old Town is crammed with gorgeous hotels and inviting cafés, pubs, nightclubs, and boutiques around the main square and along the cobblestoned laneways.

Riva is the harbor area extending from the Palace to the remarkable marina at Matejuška. With a Riviera-style vibe, this lively area of restaurants and bars is constantly buzzing and also the place to arrange boat trips, sightseeing tours, and even a ride on an Indian-style tuk tuk.

Varoš (or Veli Varoš) is a likable inner-city suburb, a virtual extension of the Old Town stretching west as far as the Marjan city park. Charming boutique hotels and lovely privately run apartments line the pedestrian alleys and gently sloping streets.

Along the main road into Split are several large and newer hotels mainly catering to those with vehicles and/or traveling on business. These hotels are perfectly suitable for tourists, especially those on a budget and anyone needing car parking. This area is also well-connected by bus to downtown, the airport, and Trogir.

The most popular beach in the immediate area is at Bačvice, which is within a 20-minute stroll of the Palace and barely 500 meters/yards from the ferry/bus/train terminals. With a likable suburban vibe and sand, the beach is a perfect place to avoid the crowds, yet it is so convenient.

A bit further east from Bačvice, and easily connected by bus to downtown, is the spacious and surprisingly laidback resort area of Žnjan (pronouced: Zhn-yan), where hotels offer space, views, and facilities not possible elsewhere around Split. Undergoing substantial development in sections during 2024, Žnjan and the adjoining beach at Trstenik will be superb when finished (in summer 2025).

Best Areas in Split for…

• Best Area in Split for First-Time Visitors: Varoš
  The crowds in Split between May and September are mind-boggling, especially when cruise liners are in dock. Maybe take a breath, escape the crowds, and stay in Varoš. This likable and leafy inner-city suburb is a virtual extension of the Old Town but without so many people. The narrow (and reasonably flat) laneways are bursting with stone homes that locals occupy and, in some cases, are rented out to tourists as guesthouses and apartments. From Varoš, it’s an easy walk to the main attractions along Riva, at the Old Town, and within the Palace, and to amenities like supermarkets and bakeries designed and priced for locals.
• Best Area in Split for Sightseeing: Riva
  Unlike Dubrovnik, Split is pleasingly compact. The 1700-year-old Diocletian’s Palace, with museums, churches, and monuments, is alongside the Old Town, crammed with places to eat, drink, shop, and stay. In front of the Palace and Old Town is the extended promenade and harbor area known as Riva.
  

  We walked along the gorgeous Riva promenade.

  If that isn’t convenient enough, Riva is the place to book island-hopping tours (see Boat Trips later) and to explore the area by buggy, electric train, or even Indian-style tuk tuk (motorized three-wheeler). Maybe book an organized (or personalized) trip from an agency where Riva meets the ferry terminal to nearby sights like Klis Fortress, the waterfalls and lakes at Krka National Park, or historic Šibenik with two UNESCO-listed sites. Otherwise, do what everyone else seems to do: sit for hours at a waterfront café sipping coffee and watching people. And don’t forget to pop into the very helpful tourist office for advice, maps, and the excellent (and free) Split in Your Pocket booklet.

• Best Area in Split for History: Inside the Palace
  Facing the ocean and alongside the Old Town, the remarkable Diocletian’s Palace was built as a “retirement home” for the namesake Roman Emperor about 1700 years ago. Measuring about 400 square meters/yards, the Palace has been restored and immaculately maintained so that it’s much more of an open-air museum than a collection of crumbling buildings.
  

  Inside Diocletian’s Palace at the Ancient Split courtyard. To the right, out of frame, is the bell tower and Saint Domnius Cathedral.

  Within the four (rebuilt) walls, visitors can enter various museums, admire the cathedral and other smaller churches, see the Temple of Jupiter, and read the numerous plaques explaining the fantastic history. The laneways are confusing, and it’s easy to miss things, so pick up a walking map from the tourist office; especially useful is the large and detailed map in the free Discover Split newsletter (also available at tourist hotpots). Because of the massive crowds that visit Split from May to October, it’s best to visit the Palace several times – and get in and out before 9.30am or after 5pm. (The Palace is permanently open, and entry is free.)

• Best Area in Split for Vibe: Varoš
  With so many narrow laneways, this compact inner-city suburb seems like an extension of the Old Town. While buildings are not that old, they are mostly made of stone and occupied by locals or converted into boutique hotels, luxury apartments, and privately run guesthouses. Adding even further to the overall appeal is the range of modern-day facilities like supermarkets and bakeries along the northern edge of Varoš, the vast Marjan Park just to the west, and all the adorable (and less crowded) cafés where Varoš merges with the Riva waterfront area.

• Best Areas in Split for Nightlife: Inside the Palace and Riva
  There are lots of nightlife choices, so pick up the excellent (and free) Split in Your Pocket booklet, which lists places to go, and the equally helpful (and free) Discover Split newsletter, which includes an extensive map of the Palace area. Popular nightclubs with loud music include Marvlvs Library Jazz Bar (inside the Palace) and Fabrique Gastro Pub (Old Town). While more low-key entertainment can be enjoyed at the Concert Hall at Republic Square. There is even more to do during the extended summer months (June to September), including film festivals and outdoor cinemas. Otherwise, join the hordes of others and enjoy a leisurely meal of Croatian delicacies, or seafood, pasta, and pizza, at one of the many bars around Narodni Trg (People’s Square) in the middle of the Old Town or along the glorious waterfront at Riva.
• Best Area in Split for Shopping: Old Town
  The Old Town is arguably the finest place for shopping anywhere in the country. Boutique stores, some barely large enough for two visitors, line the cobblestoned and pedestrian laneways. Other larger shops, such as the Prima and Zara department stores, can be found along the pedestrian-only Marmontova Street (also home to the fish market). Bargains will be hard to find. Items unique to Split and often not found elsewhere include Croatian chocolates, silk ties, handmade leather bags, and jewelry. Also popular are the various items related to the Game of Thrones TV series, which was partially filmed in and around the Palace. Most shops don’t open until about 10am (when crowds start to peak) – and some are closed on Sundays – so the optimal time to shop is after 5pm. The excellent (and free) Discover Split newsletter (available all over the city) includes a detailed map showing the names and locations of 50+ places selling perfect mementos of your visit.

• Best Area in Split for Beaches: Bačvice Beach
  A 5-minute walk from the ferry/bus/train terminals and an easy 20 minutes via a coastal path from the Palace is the delightful beach at Bačvice. It offers a genuine rarity in this part of Croatia: a beach with sand (which is a little gray). With other more secluded but pebbly beaches nearby, Bačvice is a pleasant suburb of leafy streets and shaded parks unspoiled by mass tourism and not nearly as (over)developed as the resort region of Žnjan a little further east. The beach at Bačvice is uncluttered by umbrellas and lounge chairs, so there is usually plenty of space to swim and lay down a towel, while the extended boardwalk is lined with cafés ideal for strolling and cycling. The accommodation is excellent, too, although the choice is limited.
• Best Area in Split for Boat Trips: Riva
  Joining a boat trip (or organizing one for you and some friends) is a wonderful experience. Kiosks, where operators (some a little pushy) offer tours, line the waterfront esplanade in the Riva area, especially near the Palace walls. All are licensed and offer more or less the same sort of tours: visiting remote islands for swimming and snorkeling, exploring developed islands like Šolta and Hvar, or specialized trips that include visits, for example, to the Blue Cave. Also available are various watersports like jet-skiing and “extreme” speed-boating (with an expert at the helm). Otherwise, organize your day trips by catching a return ferry to nearby islands like Hvar, Brač, and Šolta.
• Best Area in Split for Restaurants: Riva
  Like the Riviera in France or similar places in Western Europe, the Riva waterfront area is the place to wine and dine, watch others, and be seen. The range of places to eat and drink is extraordinary along the stretch between the ferry terminal area and where the marina starts to the west, and prices are not as high as expected. The choice of cuisine focuses primarily on seafood, pasta, and, especially, pizza. Still, it’s mostly about the ambiance, especially with the Palace nearby and the setting facing the water.
  

  We enjoyed a meal in the sun at Republic Square.

  The bunch of bistros in Republic Square at the western end of Riva is especially inviting. (Most cafés in Riva are outdoors with tables under massive umbrellas, so some will close during bad weather.) If the choice does seem overwhelming, read the reviews in these two free booklets available from the tourist office at Riva and in most restaurants: Discover Split and Split in Your Pocket.

  

  We bought some cheese at the daily market right outside Silver Gate on the eastern wall of the Palace. It’s about 120 meters north east of Riva.

• Best Area in Split Without a Car: Varoš
  Split can boast one of Europe’s most convenient and practical transport hubs. So, there is absolutely no need to bring a car into Split – and parking would only be possible at hotels along Domovinskog, the main road into the city (see later). Croatia’s second-largest city is such a huge tourist attraction that there are plenty of places to rent a car or, if experienced, a motorbike, including at agencies where the Riva waterfront area meets the ferry terminal. A rented vehicle would help you visit remarkable places on day trips, such as Klis Fortress, Krka National Park (famous lakes and waterfalls), and Šibenik, home to two UNESO-listed historical sites. Or book a whirlwind bus tour at one of the agencies mentioned above.
• Best Areas in Split for Transport: Inside the Palace and Riva
  The ferry terminal, dock for cruise liners, and bus and train stations are huddled together and within a 10-minute walk of the Palace and all the hotels within its walls. Moreover, airport shuttlebuses also leave from the bus station opposite the ferry terminal, and in the same area rent cars/motorbikes from reputable agencies. Along the Riva promenade, especially at the western end, is an exhaustive array of transport that can be hired solo or with a driver: electric train; pedal-power rickshaws; Indian-style, three-wheel, and electric tuk tuks; golf-style buggies; and bicycles.

  We also took the bus in Riva.

• Best Area in Split for Families: Žnjan Beach
  The hordes of people around the Palace, Old Town, and Riva promenade may unsettle young children, so families may want to base themselves at a suburban beach like Bačvice or Žnjan. Just 4kms east of downtown, the beaches at Žnjan are wide, and the sea is calm and shallow, so ideal for toddlers – and it’s easily connected to downtown by bus. All accommodations – modern hotels, spacious resorts, or privately-run apartments – are geared towards families, often with kitchen facilities and more than one bedroom.

  Note: the eastern part of Žnjan Beach underwent extensive reconstruction in 2024 but should be superb when finished by the summer of 2025. However, the western section where Žnjan Beach merges with Trestenik Beach is ready to enjoy any time.

• Best Area in Split for Couples: Inside the Palace
  There are few places as romantic as the Palace. Within the Palace, and sometimes sharing the original stone walls from 1700 years ago, are some particularly gorgeous boutique hotels – most distant or sound-proofed from the noisy masses. Along the meandering laneways within the Palace and adjoining Old Town are many boutiques, restaurants, and bars. There are even more wonderful places for an intimate dinner along the stunning Riva waterfront area just outside the southern gate to the Palace.
• Best Area in Split on a Budget: Main Road into Split
  Split is a popular tourist attraction, so everything is priced accordingly; hotel rates in July/August are usually double those in May or October. If on a budget, consider staying along or just off the main road into Split from the north – Domovinskog – which ends up at the park opposite the northern walls of the Palace. This area’s food, drinks, and groceries are priced for locals, while accommodations mainly cater to business people and those with cars and are not overpriced. Hotels along this road are within walking distance of the station for public buses to the airport and Trogir and are a short ride by bus (or rented e-bike) from all the attractions and amenities downtown.

The Best Areas in Split for Tourists Ordered from the City Center Out

Inside the Palace

We entered through the Silver Gate on the eastern side of the walled Palace. It’s also where the daily markets set up.

There are few places in the world, let alone Europe, where you could stay in a Palace. Measuring about 400 square meters/yards, the 1700-year-old Palace is surrounded by (mostly) rebuilt walls and crowded with relics from its days as a “retirement home” for a Roman Emperor. Unlike the ancient areas at Dubrovnik and Hvar Town, the Palace is flat, with only a few steps to reach certain spots. With the Old Town alongside, the Riva waterfront area just outside, and ferry/bus/train terminals so close, the Palace is also the perfect base for soaking up the history, of course, and, perhaps surprisingly, enjoying some nightlife.

Most accommodations are compact, upscale, and expensive, including many adorable boutique hotels. Nothing is really suitable for families or in the moderate range, except for privately-run rooms and apartments.

Old Town



Restaurants and bars in the Old Town.

The settlement built next to the Palace was to serve and protect the Emperor, now known as the Old Town. Around the main square (Narodni) and along the many cobblestoned laneways are pastel-colored buildings, charming boutique hotels, classy shops, and appealing cafés. Despite the apparent history and limited space, there are modern-style department stores around the edges of the Old Town. Along the laneways are nightclubs and pubs (some with live music).



The Croatian National Theater in Old Town.

There are plenty of accommodations, but, as expected, there is little room for hotels more suitable for families and very little in the moderate range.

Riva

We enjoyed walking past the bars, bistros, boutiques, and buildings along the Riva promenade.

The word Riva means “waterfront” in Croatian. This area in Split is beside the promenade along the harbor that stretches west from the Palace to the massive marina at Matejušk. Along the stretch are crowded bistros and bars and some fine hotels facing the ocean or in the backstreets nearby.

There is a constant buzz and energy around Riva, reminiscent of the Riviera or similar places in Western Europe where people want to be seen, and others sip coffee to watch them. Prices for everything are high, but you’re paying as much for the views, ambiance, and vibe as for the meals or drinks.

Riva is the place to book boat trips and other sightseeing tours from many kiosks and shops along the waterfront and organize transport on pedal-powered rickshaws or mechanized three-wheelers. The helpful tourist office is also along Riva.

Varoš

We stopped for a break at Trg Šperun square.

This delightful and leafy suburb starts from the western edge of the Old Town from Bana Jelačić/Matošića street and stretches west to Marjan Park, the vast inner-city stretch of greenery occupying the western tip of the headland.

Varoš (Veli Varoš) retains a loveable inner-city vibe with homes, private guesthouses, and boutique hotels made of stone jammed into a compact area like an extension of the Old Town. The gently sloping streets are narrow and often blocked to traffic.

We enjoyed a hike on one of the many trails through Marjan Park that offers several viewpoints.

The northern edge of Varoš merges into the modern suburbs with supermarkets and schools, while the southern section of Varoš is more touristy, especially along Šperun street, which is flanked by cute cafés. Varoš has the finest range of apartments – whether in large buildings or privately run – but these are usually small, not particularly cheap, and rarely suitable for families. So quiet, quaint, and convenient, the area is certainly ideal for couples and first-time visitors.

Main Road into Split



The Flag Pub in Bol.

From the gardens opposite the northern walls of the Palace, the main road, Domovinskog, heads in a northeasterly direction through the suburbs of Manuš and Bol. This area is a slice of gritty urban life – the real Split with supermarkets, bars, bakeries, bus stations, and most things priced for locals, not tourists.

Accommodations cater primarily to business people and those needing car parking and are generally cheaper than elsewhere in or around Split. Some hotels, like the Fermai and Hotel Corner, are more tourist-oriented and within an easy walk of the Palace; others are just a few stops from downtown by bus (or maybe rent an e-bike). With a decent range of accommodations in all price brackets and some hotels in the quieter backstreets, this area is also worthwhile because of the handy Sukoišan bus station, where public buses go to the airport and Trogir.

Bačvice Beach

The sandy and calm Bačvice Beach.

The premier beach in and around Split is just a 20-minute walk from the edge of the Palace and barely five minutes’ stroll along a coastal path from the ferry/bus/train terminals. The beach and general area at Bačvice are not overdeveloped, so it retains a likable suburban vibe where the parks are full of dogs and cafés full of locals. A surprise is that the beach is sandy (rather than pebbly or rocky like everywhere else along the coast), although the sand is a little gray. Adding to the appeal are the quiet, leafy streets nearby and the easy connections by bus to downtown.

Bačvice is a fantastic place to escape the crowds. With so many resorts further along the coast at Žnjan (see below), the choice of accommodations in Bačvice is limited. Still, the luxury hotels listed below are excellent – including our Favorite 5-Star in Split, Hotel Park. The many privately run rooms and apartments offset the lack of moderately priced hotels.

Žnjan Beach

Žnjan Beach.

Only 4km east of the Palace, this extended beach is far more developed than Bačvice (see above) and offers the vibe of a resort town rather than just a suburb. Easily connected to downtown by bus, the hotels, resorts, and apartments listed below are peppered along the coastline, some providing the finest views.

The access road and beachfront facilities in the eastern part of Žnjan Beach were undergoing extensive renovations during 2024, but with all sorts of bars and bistros, and even a concert hall, planned, it should be spectacular when completed by the summer of 2025.

Development plans for the eastern end of Žnjan.

Part of the Radisson Blu beach club.

Nonetheless, just a 5-minute walk further west (where the Radisson and Elu Iris hotels are) is a superb beach. It’s wide and shallow but rocky, and the amenities are excellent, including more than enough beach bars and lounge chairs for rent.

Most accommodations along Žnjan Beach are resorts with a pool and gardens, while apartments for families include kitchen facilities and more than one bedroom. There are almost no amenities on the back streets.

Split Travel Tips

• The tourist season runs from the peak months of June, July, and August but now extends even further from the start of May to the middle of October. When cruise liners with thousands of passengers are in dock – a regular occurrence in the warmer months – the three main areas of Riva, Old Town, and Palace are crowded. The combination of large tour groups and narrow lanes makes exploring downtown Split frustrating. Try to get in and out of the Palace before 9.30am and visit again after 5pm. Remember, the gates are permanently open, and the sun rises at about 5.30 am in summer.
• Most people stay in the Riva, Old Town, and Palace (or on a cruise ship nearby). To avoid the massive crowds in these three areas, consider staying anywhere else – e.g., along the quiet laneways of Varoš; in business-style hotels along the main road to the north, Domovinskog; or at resorts and privately-run apartments at the two main beaches, Bačvice and Žnjan.
• Buses are useful if staying along the main road (Domovinskog) into Split or at Žnjan Beach; otherwise, Split is remarkably compact. Bus tickets from a machine (at main stops) are substantially cheaper than buying them onboard.
• The only train service of much use to tourists is the direct service between Split and Zagreb. This may be slower than a bus, but more interesting. The night train also saves on hotel costs.
