SPLIT, CROATIA CITY GUIDE

GETTING AROUND SPLIT

Split is very compact and best explored on foot, as the Old Town is closed to cars. Most neighborhoods are also accessible by walking from Old Town. Buses run regularly if you hope to venture further afield, and taxis are readily available—though they can be quite expensive. We recommend checking with your hotel concierge for advice on the best way to reach any particular destination. Explore more of Dalmatia through our Croatia hiking tours.
