Split Port

Split is a breath-taking city on the Croatian coastline and one of the true highlights of a luxury cruise on the Adriatic Sea. The beautiful architecture is all centered around Diocletian’s Palace, an inspiring structure originally built as a retirement destination for a Roman emperor. It’s since been converted to a bustling hub of shops, but the charms of the original architecture remain. From this hub, the city was truly developed during medieval times with the structures of this time period surviving to this day, making simply wandering around the city a delightful experience.

One landmark you won’t miss, and that is certainly worthy of a guided tour, is the St Dominus Cathedral. It’s home to a fantastic collection of art, which your tour guide can talk you through, while the 12^th Century bell tower is an impressive sight. If you’d rather enjoy more natural attractions, the nearby Krka National Park is just a short drive away, and has some exciting walking routes and picturesque scenery, including a gorgeous winding river that is home to a huge number of wildlife species.

The currency in Split is the Kuna. Split is 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +2).
