About Split
Split holds Diocletian's Palace at its center, where ancient walls enclose Peristyle Square and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. Streets lead out to the waterfront and up Marjan Hill for pine-covered trails and views over the city.
The Varoš Neighborhood keeps older houses and cafes. Outings go to Klis Fortress and Trogir, with its own Cathedral of St. Lawrence and Kamerlengo Castle. Short trips fit well here, combining Roman sites with sea and hills.
