Reviewed by Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor
Split's historic core grows directly out of Diocletian's Palace and opens onto the Riva, creating a dense pedestrian centre between stone lanes and the harbour. Marjan rises west of that core, while city beaches spread along separate shores. Trogir and the islands are outward journeys rather than neighbourhoods of Split. The port places ferries, intercity buses and local movement in the same busy waterfront zone.

How the city is laid out
Explore the palace substructures, Peristyle, old-town lanes and Riva in one pedestrian sequence. Use another block for Marjan, choosing its access point before climbing, and do not assume every beach lies on that route. Trogir needs a land connection; island visits depend on the sailing selected. Keep those excursions away from a day already committed to the historic core.
Checked 2026-08-26
Getting around
Walking is the default inside Diocletian's Palace and the old town, where through-traffic is not a useful way to sightsee. City buses serve Marjan approaches, beaches and outer districts, while bicycles suit selected waterfront routes. Ferries and catamarans leave from the port on independent schedules. Use the Split Tourist Board's current transport directory and the named operator for the exact bus or sailing before departure.

Common questions
How many days should I spend in Split?
No official city-wide stay length is recorded. Begin with Diocletian's Palace, the old town and Riva, then add Marjan or a city beach. Trogir and island travel need extra itinerary space.
How should I organise sightseeing in Split?
Keep the palace, old-town lanes and Riva in one walking route. Plan Marjan from a chosen access point and place each beach according to its own coast. Treat Trogir or an island as an excursion.
How do I get around Split?
Walk in the palace and old town, use local buses for outer districts and consult the relevant operator for ferries or catamarans. The Tourist Board's transport page links the current options.
Can I explore Split mainly on foot?
The palace, old town and Riva are naturally pedestrian. Marjan's approaches, beaches beyond the centre, Trogir and the port connections require a route choice beyond that compact walk.
Which Split trips need separate planning?
Trogir uses a land connection, while each island depends on a specific sailing. Verify the return departure and seasonal operation before leaving Split, especially when accommodation remains in the city.
