Things to do on Your Extended Stay in Split, Croatia

Visit the Split City Beaches

Firstly, it is worth noting that Split enjoys a Mediterranean climate with sunny days almost all year round. Those looking to get the most for their budget, should plan their visit for spring or autumn, as the temperatures are still in the 20-degree sweet spot, while the prices are significantly lower compared to the high-season. You can go swimming as early as March and enjoy the sun all the way to November! City beaches, such as the gorgeous Kašjuni or the locals favorite sand beach Bačvice, offer ideal ways to relax before or after a long workday.

Take a History Tour Around the Palace

Diocletian’s Palace, which is considered to be one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the whole world, will surely tempt you to explore it over and over.
Whether you choose to book one of the tours with a licensed guide or walk the palace on your own, its cozy narrow alleys will always find their way to uncover more details on the rich history that happened inside these walls. There is something so special about strolling the same streets a Roman Emperor used to, or visiting the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world.
Over your extended stay you will have plenty of opportunities to find out more about this unique place. Game of Thrones lovers are always the first in line to visit the spectacular Cellars of Diocletian’s Palace (Daenerys’ Throne Room) and experience their favorite filming locations first-hand through a Game of Thrones tour that includes other sites in the vicinity, such as the Fortress of Klis (City of Meereen) which also offers a great panoramic view!

Get Your Adrenaline Rush at Split Skywalk

Thrill seekers are bound to test their limits and try something completely different such as the Skywalk tour around the famous Poljud Stadium. This is a new and excellent way to enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of Split and take terrific Instagram photos from the top. This tour is ideal for those looking to add a little adventure to their routine and perfect for architecture lovers as there is a lot to be learned about the stadium and the city. The best part of it is the free fall – you get to jump on a rope swing over the stadium!

See a Local Football Game

One of the first words that you will learn from the locals is Hajduk – the name of Split’s legendary and beloved football team. Known as the oldest football supporters’ group in Europe – Torcida makes sure the stadium’s atmosphere is boiling with each game.
The whole city lives for Hajduk, and you’ll find graffiti dedicated to the club everywhere. For the club’s 100th birthday in 2011, the city residents all lit-up flares at midnight which colored the sky so red that it could literally be seen from space.
The same incredible scenes of a lit-up midnight city toured the world in 2020, for Torcida’s birthday. If you have somehow missed these images, watching a video of this celebration might inspire you to come to Split right away! Those who would revel in such an atmosphere should purchase a North side stadium ticket to a Hajduk football game.

Explore Nature on Marjan Hill

The main draw of Marjan Hill is that it is open and available all year round. The city’s nice weather allows for so many different activities, that one can spend a whole month just going here. Marjan is surely one of the reasons behind the city’s huge success in sports. Split is known as one of the most athletic cities in the world with over 75 Olympic medalists – quite impressive when considering its population of around 200k. Locals as well as tourists enjoy renting bicycles, going for hikes around the forest, walking along the seaside, jogging, swimming, meditating, rock climbing, or climbing up the top for a spectacular view or a romantic sunset. Whatever you do – the fresh air of the thick forest combined with the sea is bound to leave you recharged and ready for another day of productivity.
