Our List of the Best Split, Croatia Things To Do

On our first trip to Split, we used the city as a transfer point – simply breezing through before island-hopping to other exciting destinations in Croatia. With just a few hours, we were not necessarily looking for things to do in Split…and we ended up missing just about everything. 

That trip was in 2011 – and we immediately regretted not doing more sightseeing in Split. With just a little planning, we could have easily experienced some of the top Split things to do.

However, we have revisited the Dalmatian capital multiple times (and for much longer stays) and corrected our missteps. Not being rushed and having an organized plan, we have discovered a plethora of sights to see in Split, Croatia!

#1 Embark on our Self Guided Walking Tour

For anyone wondering what to do in Split, Croatia, it’s a fabulous place to start. The attractions are arranged in order – with walking directions and maps – so that you can easily go from one sight to the next. We also include an interactive map to make your Split sightseeing simple.

#2 Discover Diocletian’s Palace

The UNESCO World Heritage Diocletian’s Palace is the top sight to see in Split, Croatia. Built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 305 AD, it stands today as one of the best-preserved palaces of its time.

Although not totally restored, remains from the 4th century structure are completely fascinating. With just a bit of imagination, it is easy to visualize what Diocletian’s Palace looked like in all its splendor. 

Must-See Sights in Diocletian’s Palace

To better understand the history, visitors can use our Guide to Diocletian’s Palace for another free walking tour. There are a few ticketed sights within Diocletian’s Palace that you might want to visit – and we are outlining the one’s we recommend.

Saint Dominus Cathedral, Treasury and Bell Tower

The Cathedral of St Dominus is housed in the mausoleum that Diocletian built for himself. The building was converted to a church in 641 AD and is considered the oldest Catholic cathedral in its original structure. Visitors can also see the church treasury and climb to the top of the bell tower for amazing views. Tickets can be purchased for the cathedral in the peristyle.

Jupiter Temple and Baptistery

The Temple of Jupiter is another Diocletian Palace highlight. It was converted to a church in the 6th century and houses a baptistery. Tickets are available in the peristyle and can be combined with cathedral tickets.

Palace Basement

The basement is a fascinating place to visit – as it is how archaeologists pieced together the history of the palace. Tickets are available at the door.

Ethnographic Museum

The small Ethnographic Museum offers interesting displays on Split and the region. However, the highlight of a visit is climbing to the top of the Vestibule. Tickets to the Split Ethnographic Museum can be purchased at the door. A separate Top of Vestibule Only ticket can be purchased just outside.

#3 Explore the Split Old Town

Split’s Old Town encompasses the adjoining labyrinth of streets and squares that were built outside the palace walls. Exiting through the western Iron Gate of Diocletian’s Palace leads into People’s Square, the center of historic Split. One of our favorite Split activities is winding through the maze of lanes and narrow alleyways.

#4 Walk the Split Riva

The Split Riva is the long and wide pedestrian walkway that faces the sea and is lined with outdoor cafes. When the sun is shining, both locals and tourists flock to the waterfront promenade.

The Riva is the perfect place to take a break from sightseeing in Split. Linger over a coffee, local wine or beer while people watching. It is simply one of the best things to do in Split, Croatia!

For those not wanting to sip on coffee at a café, there are a plethora of benches for sitting, relaxing, chatting with friends or just enjoying the view of the Split Marina and Harbor.

#5 Soak Up the Sun at Split, Croatia Beaches

With it’s prime location on the Adriatic Sea, the Best Split Beaches are within walking distance from the Old Town. Spending time on the shoreline is – without a doubt – one of the prime things to do in Split.

To the east of the city center is Bacvice, the most popular Split beach. The shallow bay has a small sandy section where you can ease into the cool sea water. Along the edge, there are plenty of places to catch some rays. Further east along the coast are more Split beaches – some with pebbles, some with sand.

West of the Split city center, the coastline provides a more rustic beach experience. Here you can sunbathe on the rocks and slip into the water below to cool off.

#6 Wander through the Varos Neighborhood

The historic Varos Neighborhood of Split dates to the 15th century – although there are churches in the district that are much older.

Varos, which crawls up the slopes of Marjan Hill, was originally the fisherman’s district. Today, it’s an atmospheric place to wander. Stone houses stand close together and narrow streets weave through the area.

Family-run restaurants are found along the lanes closest to the fisherman’s port of Matejuska. Many of the family homes in Varos have been converted to vacation rentals, but locals still reside in the here, too. That makes it feel more like an authentic neighborhood compared to the center of the Split Old Town. 

#7 Hike Up Marjan Hill to the Best Split Viewpoint

Whether you are wondering what to do in Split, Croatia for exercise or are just looking for an epic view, Marjan Forest Park is the answer!

Visitors can follow the one of several paths through the Varos neighborhood to start Hiking up Marjan Hill . At the top of the neighborhood is a café and Split city lookout point. The Split viewpoint offers a sweeping vista over the orange-tiled rooftops and turquoise sea.

However, for a fun Split adventure, continue hiking up. Follow the paths into the forested area, seek out the ancient cliffside dwellings, and take in the best Split city and Adriatic Sea views.

Hiking Marjan Hill is always one of our Split highlights! Active travelers can go rock climbing and tourists content to sunbath or swim in the sea can find some great Split beaches around the coastline of Marjan Peninsula.

#8 Rub the Big Toe of the Grgur Ninski Statue

Grgur Ninski – or Gregory of Nin – was a famous Croatian bishop of the 10th century. He fought to have mass spoken in Croatian – rather than Latin. A 28-foot-tall statue of Grgur Ninski stands just outside the Golden Gate (north gate) of Diocletian’s Palace – and it’s a Split must see sight!

Often called The Wizard, the piece was created by local artist Ivan Mestrovic in 1929. When the statue was first unveiled, it stood in the Peristyle. Rubbing Grgur Ninski’s big toe is said to bring good luck. In fact, so many people have rubbed Grgur Ninski’s toe that it now is shiny and bright!

#9 Visit the Ivan Mestrovic Gallery and Estate

Ivan Mestrovic is Croatia’s most famous artist. Visiting the Ivan Mestrovic Museum and Chapel, two of the best cultural attractions in Split, is a top activity for tourist. His works – like the Grgur Ninski Statue – are displayed in cities throughout Croatia. The life-size sculptures emulate human emotions of sorrow, despair and tranquility.

In the 1930s, he built a sprawling estate on the Marjan Peninsula – as well as a chapel along the southern shoreline. While the estate hosts some of his most famous sculptures, the chapel displays his etched wood reliefs of bible stories.

Both properties have been transformed into viewing galleries for his artwork. Additionally, Sunday services are occasionally held at the Mestrovic Crikvine Kastilac chapel.

 #10 Peruse the Goods at Split Markets

The Green Market and the Fish Market are two bustling places in Split, Croatia. While both are Split attractions, they are also where locals go shopping for fresh produce and the catch of the day.

Vendors at the Green Market outside the east gate sell produce, flowers, clothing and souvenirs. There are also permanent meat and cheese shops, so it’s nearly a one-stop shopping experience. One of the top things to do in Split, Croatia is to go shopping at the Green Market to assemble items for a picnic meal. 

The Fish Market on the west side of the old town is brought to life each morning when the day’s fresh catch arrives. The smell is pungent, the crowd is exuberant and the floor is slippery. Although some might argue with the smelly fish being a tourist attraction, we think it is one of the top Split things to see!

#11 Take in the View from Matejuska

The west end of the Riva is marked by Matejuska. It’s a popular hangout spot for fisherman (both young and old) and lazy, day-drinking crowds of all types. Matejuska is one of the places to visit in Split, Croatia if you want a glimpse of local life. You can also grab a cold drink from Little Beer Shop and find your own sunny spot on the pier!

While drinking a beer at Matejuska is one of the fun things to do in Split, the views are the real reason to go. Looking back at Split from the end of the port, where fishing boats bob on the water, is one of the most beautiful in the whole city. Another great spot for photos is on the tip of the pier, where there’s a super view of Split landmarks with the water in the foreground.

#12 Lounge on the Split West Coast

The wide path along the western Split Harbor waterfront connects Matejuska to the city’s main marina (ACI Split). Along the way to the marina – which is typically occupied by luxury yachts and sleek sailboats – are a few buzzing cafes facing the Split Harbor.

While the cafes are inviting, the best place to lounge along the west coast is on the over-sized wooden loungers. They are ideal for resting your legs and soaking in some sun. Plus, the views across the water are phenomenal – it’s one of the Split, Croatia sights not to miss!

#13 Stroll around Sustipan Park

Sustipan Park is a less-visited Split, Croatia tourist attraction and one of our absolute favorites! Just beyond the marina, the elevated seaside park on the Sustipan Peninsula offers fantastic views under the shade of large trees.

The park was once a cemetery, but destroyed in World War II. What remains today are a small chapel and gazebo – both of which are popular places in Split to get married.

Sustipan Park is a perfect perch for panoramic views over the Adriatic Sea (especially for viewing a spectacular Split sunset). Find a spot to enjoy the scenery (keep an eye out for dolphins) and the fresh sea air!

#14 See the Frogs at Froggyland

Perhaps the most quirky and unusual thing to do in Split, Froggyland is a creative taxidermists dream (yep, it’s that weird). There are more than 20 exhibits of stuffed frogs doing ‘human things.’ Find out more and buy your ticket in advance . 

#15 Go to the Top of Golden Gate

Arranged through the Split City Museum, visitors can now ascend to the top of Golden Gate to walk the Medieval military patrol path along the northern wall. The experience offers a unique vantage point of Diocletian’s Palace and the Split Old Town.

#16 Peek in on Wild Peacocks

One of the little-known facts about Split, Croatia is that there is a flock of wild peacocks living in the city. We didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true! Seeking them out is one of the oddly cool things to do in Split.

Vidilica Park – which is just a short walk from the center – is where to go in Split to see the peacocks. Just keep in mind that it is best to give them some space…and please don’t feed them!

#17 Search for Hidden Churches

There are many churches in Split – standing in squares or along quiet lanes. However, there are two that are completely hidden from plain sight. Finding them is one of the unique things to do in Split, Croatia.

St. Martin’s Church is a tiny chapel tucked into walls of Diocletian’s Palace near the Golden Gate. The narrow church was once a Roman soldier guardhouse.

The Temple of Saint Sava is another hidden church in Split, and it’s a project that was never completed. The half-built church stands in ruins and is completely encircled by shops and restaurants. The Chapel of Saint Sava – an Orthodox church – can be found up the stairs on the right side of the entry hallway to the unfinished church.

Two other interesting and somewhat hidden religious complexes in the city are the synagogue and the mosque. Both are featured on our Split Walking Tour !

#18 Test Your Skills at the Illusion Museum

An interactive space for adults, kids and groups of friends, the Museum of Illusions is one of the fun Split things to do. Visitors can easily spend a couple of hours deciphering mind tricks and testing their senses. The top-rated museum features puzzling games, challenging tasks and fantastic photo ops! 

#19 Get On Set at the Game of Thrones Museum

A Split must see for GOT fans, the Game of Thrones Museum features props and information from the series’ filming in Croatia. While small, visitors can get an up-close view of some of the recognizable items from scenes in the show.

In the adjacent Game of Thrones Gift Shop, visitors can sit on the (replica) Iron Throne. GOT enthusiasts can also go on a guided Game of Thrones Tour .

#20 Slip into an Alternate Reality at Diocletian’s Dream

Like never seen before, Diocletian’s Dream invites guests to view the palace in 3D virtual reality. Participants step into the year 305 AD to witness the palace as it appeared when it was first built.

#21 See Artifacts at the Archaeological Museum

The Archaeological Museum in Split located just a short walk north of the Old Town is an interesting place to see ancient artifacts. The space features special indoor exhibits and a permanent outdoor collection – such as stone engravings, sculptures, sarcophagi and mosaics. The sphinx sculpture near the entrance dates to 1400 BC.

Note : The Split Archaeological Museum should not to be confused with the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in the Marjan Peninsula neighborhood of Meje.

#22 Learn History at the Split City Museum

Housed in a former residence within the palace, the Split City Museum details the city from its origins until modern times. Situated over multiple floors – starting with information about Diocletian and the building of the palace on the ground floor – the museum offers insight into the lengthy history of Split.

#23 Ponder Paintings at the Emanual Vidovic Gallery

Dedicated to the works of Croatian painter Emanual Vidovic, the gallery features his works of art in a contemporary space. The paintings are presented in chronological order so that visitors can appreciate and understand Vidovic’s evolution as an artist.

#24 Contemplate Works at the Fine Art Museum

Displaying a range of pieces, from ancient times to modern creations, the Split Museum of Fine Art is a highly rated cultural institution. Housed in a former hospital, the museum exhibits a permanent and rotating collection of art.

#25 Catch a Free Ride to the Mall of Split

When it’s raining or just too hot, catching a ride to the Mall of Split is one of the best free things to do. The 4-level mall hosts a variety of shops – from international brand fashion stores to a Croatian craft beer shop. The free Mall of Split bus departs from the east end of the Riva several times daily.

#26 Enjoy a Coffee on the Riva

The coffee culture in Croatia is outstanding – and the busy cafes along the beautiful Riva is just the place to enjoy it. Buzzing cafes also ring People’s Square and are tucked down the narrow lanes of Diocletian’s Palace. When you need a rest from sightseeing in Split, find an open table at one of the outdoor venues and rest your feet while watching the passersby!

#27 Eat at the Best Split Restaurants

Eating in Split covers a range of delectable fare. From street food specialties to epic dining affairs and everything in between.

Burek – a seasoned meat pie that is popular throughout the region – is our favorite thing to eat in Split when we are on the go, and ST Burek is the best place to get it. That said, it’s difficult to resist sitting down at one of the excellent seafood restaurants in Split.

Where To Stay in Split, Croatia

When it comes to places to stay in Split, visitors have ample options in a range of prices. We typically like to stay in Airbnb Apartments – as they usually offer more comfort than hotels with the added benefit of a kitchen where we can make simple meals. That said, for shorter stays in Split, a hotel could be a better option.

Top-Rated Hotels in Split, Croatia

We recommend visitors start their search on Booking.com for the best Split hotels – but these hotels get high ratings from fellow travelers.

• Palace Judita Heritage Hotel
• Piazza Heritage Split Hotel
• Heritage Hotel 19

Before booking, read our tips for finding the Best Rates on Hotels !

Getting to Split, Croatia

Split is an excellent transportation hub for a vacation in Croatia; as it can be reached by plane, ferry, train, bus or car.

Flights to Split

Travelers flying to Split will find year-round and seasonal flights from top European hubs (such as London , Munich , Frankfurt and Amsterdam ). Unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Split from the United States.

We recommend using a site like Skyscanner to find deals on airline tickets – but first, read our guide to Finding the Best Cheap Flights .

Travel to Split by Ferry

Travelers can arrive to Split via ferry from other Croatian Destinations or from Ancona, Italy. The two main ferry companies in Split are Jadrolinija and Krilo .  

Train to Split, Croatia

There is a train from Zagreb to Split, but it is not the most convenient way to travel in the country. Routes are both infrequent and time-consuming.

Bus to Split

Most cities in Croatia are well-connected by bus. It’s an affordable and fairly easy way to travel to Split. Our preferred bus company is FlixBus – as it is economical, clean and comfortable. However, Bus Croatia can be used to find routes serviced by Croatian bus companies.

Driving to Split

We aren’t keen on driving abroad, but renting a car can often save time and sometimes money. Having a car rental also allows for greater discovery of the region. However, once in the city, a car is not necessary. Almost everything can be reached on foot – and parking in Split is notoriously difficult.

What Else Do I Need to Visit Split, Croatia?

Before you set off sightseeing Split attractions, you will want to make sure you pack a few necessary items . You can find all of our hacks  and advice on our Travel Packing page. 

Comfortable Travel Shoes

One of the best things to do in Split, Croatia is walk through the UNESCO-listed Palace and Old Town. Although mostly flat (unlike Dubrovnik ), some stones are uneven and slick.

Wearing a pair of good travel shoes will help in navigating your way to the top attractions in Split. I wear my favorite trainers and Kris prefers Merrell shoes.

Travel Camera 

If you are anything like us, we are certain you will be snapping pictures of beautiful Split, Croatia! Rather than relying on your phone, we recommend upgrading to an actual camera so that you can truly capture the sights.

We use a Canon Rebel with a versatile lens ( 18-135mm ). This Canon is a great beginner budget camera for travelers because it is easy to use, takes quality photos and comes with loads of accessories!

Sun Protection and Weather Gear

Most of our recommended places to visit in Split are outdoors, which means you will be exposed to the elements. The sun is strong in Croatia – make sure to apply sunscreen before you set off. A wide-brimmed travel hat can also be useful…and don’t forget your sunglasses !

If your trip to Split coincides with foul weather, don’t let a little rain ruin your time. Be ready with a raincoat and travel umbrella .

Of course, you will want to carry a good day bag to stow all of your valuables and other everyday items . We carry these backpacks when exploring – but you read our reviews to help find the Best Day Bag for You .

Croatia Travel Insurance

20 Incredible Things to do in Split, Croatia

By: Author Taylor Lorenz

Posted on Last updated: 10/28/2022

Split is an obvious must-visit on any Croatia itinerary, and while I didn’t love the city I have to admit that there are a ton of things to do in Split (it is the second-largest city in Croatia), making it the ideal destination for any type of traveller and well worth a visit.

Not only is Split the main jumping-off point for some of Croatia’s top islands to visit but it’s a city that has literally everything within its city walls.

You can choose to spend your days on one of the beaches, to explore the history of the Split Old Town, to visit nearby islands as a day trip, go chasing waterfalls in national parks or get adventurous at the Cetina River.

You will have no problem finding fun things to do in Split or epic day trips from Split, trust me on this one. You may even want to extend your stay.

Table of Contents

Forgot travel insurance? No worries!

It’s still possible to get affordable travel insurance when travelling.

SafetyWing can be purchased in 180 countries and provides coverage for medical, travel delays, luggage, emergency response plus other perks for a third of the price compared to the biggest competitor for similar coverage.

Things to do in Split

Discover what to do in Split for every type of traveller. I promise these Split attractions won’t disappoint.

Explore Diocletian’s Palace

Split sightseeing is not complete without visiting Diocletian’s Palace, as it’s what Split has grown around. It was built in 305 A.D for a Roman Emperor, Diocletian. Now the palace still stands and is open for you to explore the ancient architecture that remains largely intact.

The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site and parts of it have been used for scenes in GOT. The cellar is where Daenerys kept her dragons.

Some of the main sites to check out within the palace are:

• Split Cathedral
• Gregory of Nin statue (Grgur Ninski)
• Egyptian sphinxes
• Temple of Jupiter
• Golden Gate
• Diocletian’s Mausoleum

The palace is quite a complex, for an emperor’s retirement home, so taking a tour will help you spot all of the best areas and understand what each area was.

See the views from Marjan Hill

Marjan Hill is one of the best things to see in Split because of its views that don’t require too much effort to get to. The hill is 174 metres high and there are low, easy stairs that will guide you to the top.

The hill is popular with locals who use the number of trails for walking and jogging away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. If being active isn’t your thing there’s always a cafe and bar, Vidilica, at the top so you can recoup from your mini-hike.

A tour of the trails is available, it will take you to some of the churches that are on the hill and explain the hermit settlements that have been built on Marjan Hill.

Hit the beach

One of the must go to places to visit in Split is Bracvice beach. This beach in Split is the only sandy beach in the city (most beaches in Croatia are pebble beaches), has lots of trendy cafes and bars around and has blue flag status. You’ll find a mix of locals and visitors here.

There are chairs with umbrellas that can rent and you’ll probably spot some locals playing a favourite game of theirs, picigin in the waters of the Adriatic Sea. It’s quite entertaining to watch.

There are other less popular beaches for those who want to be away from the crowds at the base of Marjan Hill.

Take a walking tour

I always suggest taking a walking tour of any city when you first get there. It’s such a good way to get to know the history and get familiar with what’s in town. Plus guides always give you great tips on where to eat, what to see after and more.

Especially in Split, a walking tour of the Old Town would be very beneficial because there is just so much to see and know, there is an abundance of history that you could walk past without even knowing!

Climb to the top of the Bell Tower of St. Domnius Cathedral

Another great option for a viewpoint of the city is to climb the Bell Tower of the Cathedral of St. Domnius which is the oldest cathedral in the world.

You’ll get views from the centre of town and of Marjan Hill. The architecture of the tower, such as the arches, really add to your shots as well.

Take time in the Old Town

When you visit Split you must know that the heart of the Old Town is Diocletian’s Palace but there is more to the city than just an emperor’s retirement home.

Venture past the core and you’ll find markets and an abundance of restaurants with homemade pasta and delicious Croatian wine.

Plus the charming streets are beautiful to roam through and are great for photography lovers.

Stroll along the Riva Promenade

Split is blessed with being a coastal city so one of the top things to do in Split is to be by the water of the beautiful Adriatic Sea. There is no better place to see local life and to be close to the ocean than along the Riva Promenade.

Here you can stroll down the street with views of the ocean and stop to grab a coffee, a meal, hit up a bar or indulge in a cool ice cream.

Coffee culture is huge is Croatia and locals will nurse a small cup for hours. They have perfected the enjoyment of a cup of coffee and people watching, and the Riva Promenade is the best place to do so in Split.

Check out Klis Fortress

Klis Fortress is outside of the city, but not far, only 15km or so. The fortress is an obvious area of history where battles against the Knights Templar, Ottomans and Mongols were fought.

Today the fortress offers panoramic views around Split and where Meereen from Game of Thrones was filmed.

The fortress sits on a cliff but it doesn’t require much hiking. It can be visited as a part of a Game of Thrones tour , a historical tour or on a self-guided tour.

Take a mini trip to Trogir

A great place for a day trip is Trogir, a charming city all on its own just 30 km from Split that is one of the top Split excursions. The layout of the city is gorgeous, the old town is located on a small island with winding cobblestone streets.

The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been ruled by a number of nations including the Romans, French, Italians and Venetians since it was first founded in the 3rd century by the Greeks.

The main sites such as St. Lawrence Church, Kamerlango Fortress, the clock tower and more can be visited in just an hour or two. A walking tour will show you all of the highlights and history.

The island of  Drvenik Veli is close by, just an hour by boat, and is a popular spot known for its prime snorkelling. On the island the most popular attraction is the Blue Lagoon, with beautiful, obviously blue, water.

Check out the variety of museums

Split has a few museums, some of which are rather interesting, some are the typical museums that you would expect in any city. Some of the best to visit include:

• Archeological Museum
• Gallery of Fine Arts
• Mestrovic Gallery
• Froggyland (yes, it’s a museum of frogs placed in human scenarios)

You can find more Split museums in this article .

Go sea kayaking

For water sports don’t overlook kayaking, Dubrovnik and Split are the best cities in Croatia to do so. Their coastal locations with islands not far off make them both hot spots for getting into the water and exploring. You can take kayaking day trips, sunset trips and even kayak through the Marjan Forest Park.

Here are a few options:

• Split Morning Kayak Tour
• Marjan Forest Kayaking
• Sea Kayak Sunset Tour

Join in on the nightlife

Split has a reputation for its nightlife as being very good. There are a ton of bars and restaurants and the city really comes alive at night as locals and tourists alike take to the streets to enjoy the cool night air.

There is a Split pub crawl which is quite popular amongst backpackers or you can hit up the best places to dance on your own.

Visit Croatia’s best islands

Split is the most popular place in Croatia to go island hopping. Some of Croatia’s best islands are accessed from Split, some of which can be done as a day tour, others can be visited for days when you catch a ferry from Split.

The most popular island hopping tour from Split is the Hvar 5 Islands and Blue Cave Tour which takes visitors to 5 islands and the famous blue cave that looks like it glows.

A cruise to Brac island is also popular as Brac is a big island that has a lot to offer, including the best beach in Croatia, Zlatni Beach.

And lastly, another option is to visit Hvar, one of Croatia’s top islands and the Pakleni Islands for a day of swimming in stunning bays on the  Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar and Pakleni Islands tour .

Take a day trip

Day tours from Split are popular because the city is in a great location for exploring other parts of Croatia and even another country, Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The furthest option, but perfect if you’re not going any further north on the Dalmatian coast, is to visit Plitvice Lakes National Park which is full of waterfalls, hiking trails and beautiful scenery. Images from this park are often the postcard pictures for Croatia and it is easily one of the most popular places to visit in all of Croatia.

One of the best day trips from Split which is closer and still involves waterfalls but is much closer is Krka National Park . It’s possible to swim in the water here which is an added bonus and many of the tours also stop in Sibenik which is another charming city with an old town that I recommend visiting.

Lastly, you could tick off a new country while visiting Croatia. Day trips to Mostar and Medjugorje are doable. You can see the famous old bridge that crosses the river in Mostar and even visit waterfalls on the way at Kravica.

Explore Game of Thrones filming locations

A trip to Split is not complete for GOT fans from around the world without visiting the locations around Split that have become new cities in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Some of the sites are right in the city centre in Diocletian’s Palace, others are at Klis Fortress. If you’re a fan you’re going to want to join a tour!

Go canyoning

For those adventure lovers that need only a day (or less) in a city before craving the outdoors then Split is the city for you too. Not far from Split is the Cetina River that has a number of outdoor adventures for you to try.

One such activity is canyoning where you can jump from cliffs into pools of water, see a waterfall and swim through dramatic canyons.

Keep in mind it does get cold in Split so depending on the time of year you do it it could be totally refreshing or a bit of a shock.

Try river rafting

Other adventurous things to do near Split include river rafting which is not quite as intense as canyoning but is still a thrill. You’ll have the chance to raft through level 2 and 3 rapids and take in the beautiful wilderness surrounding you.

Zipline over the Cetina River

Last but not least for adventure activities in Split is the thrill of zip lining over the Cetina River. You’ll get the best views of the gorgeous blue water as you soar across the canyon.

Between ziplines, you’ll walk along nature trails with your guide for a relaxing and scenic break before continuing to zipline down to the bottom of the canyon.

Enjoy wine tasting

Croatia makes a lot of wine and you simply have to do a wine tasting at some point while in Croatia. They grow grapes on the islands, along the coast and inland as well so you’ll have a chance to taste wines from a variety of places throughout the country.

The tour I’ve linked to below also includes delicious Dalmatian snacks and a professional Sommelier who will explain the history of wine heritage and production in Croatia. Did I mention that it’s in the 1700-year-old Diocletian Palace?

Or try beer instead

Don’t worry beer lovers, I haven’t forgotten about you. You can visit a brewery in Split to taste test the local beers that are native to Split.

Afterwards, they’ll take you into town to enjoy another beer in a relaxing atmosphere with your new found friends on the tour.

Is was a very nice experience to eat with Alexander and his wife. The Russian food was good. And the explanation was very interesting. I enjoyed the evening fully and i wish Alexander and his wife all the best for the future!!!

Traditional Russian cuisine tour was great – food was delicious and the tour guide was able to throw in some history and neighbourhood references.

The benefit of a private guide is that he can tailor the experience to exactly what you want to see and take you to all local spots you won’t find on tripadvisor. Our guide was able to show us real Moscow!

Ukraine war latest: Putin says he will take Trump 'seriously' on ending war

Vladimir Putin has said Russia takes Donald Trump's declaration that he could end the war "completely seriously", although he doesn't know the details of the proposals. The US presidential candidate previously claimed he could create peace in 24 hours if he makes it to the White House.

Thursday 4 July 2024 20:10, UK

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping that he wants Turkey-China ties to continue improving.

He has also said steps taken to improve such ties would benefit both countries.

Both the Turkish and Chinese leaders met at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in the Kazakh capital Astana today and discussed the Russia-Ukraine war and the fighting in Gaza.

During the meeting, Mr Erdogan called for "effective measures" by the international community to prevent either conflict from spreading.

One civilian has been killed after a ballistic missile struck the southern port city of Odesa.

Governor Oleh Kiper said at least seven others had been injured after the attack on the region and houses and port facilities had been damaged.

"The civilian port infrastructure is under attack," Mr Kiper said on Telegram .

Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian forces in the war, with many attacks aimed at the city's port facilities. 

Russia denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure.

The Hungarian prime minister will meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow tomorrow, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) . 

Viktor Orban will be accompanied by Hungary's foreign minister Peter Szijjarto, the outlet reports, citing an unnamed Hungarian government source.

The reported visit comes days after Mr Orban urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to consider a ceasefire to accelerate an end to the war with Russia.

Mr Orban, who is an outspoken critic of Western military aid to Ukraine and has the warmest relations of any EU leader with Mr Putin, held talks with Mr Zelenskyy during his first trip to Kyiv in more than a decade yesterday.

Mr Orban said he asked the Ukrainian leader to think about a ceasefire before the follow-up international summit Kyiv hopes to hold later this year.

Apple has removed 25 VPN mobile apps from its AppStore in Russia, following a request by Russia's state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, Interfax reports.

Demand for VPN services soared in Russia after Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in 2022 and the authorities restricted access to some Western social media.

Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor has already blocked access to some large VPNs, but others remained available.

Images are emerging of the damage inflicted on Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after months of Russian assault.

The Ukrainian army said today they had retreated from an area on the outskirts of the strategically important city in the Donetsk region after a 10-month battle there.

Months of relentless Russian artillery strikes have devastated Chasiv Yar, leaving homes charred.

Ukrainian commanders in the area say their resources remain stretched, largely due to a months-long gap in military assistance from the US which threw Ukraine's military onto the defensive.

Around 190,000 recruits have signed contracts to join the Russian military so far in 2024, the state-run RIA news agency reports, quoting former president Dmitry Medvedev.

Mr Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said the current average recruitment rate was about 1,000 people a day.

For context : Russia is encouraging people to sign up for the war in Ukraine by paying them above average wages. 

Vladimir Putin has said Moscow has no need to enforce a new round of compulsory mobilisation because so many men are signing up on voluntary contracts.

A duo of Russian pranksters who often target and compromise people the Russian state is interested in have been given a top state award in the Kremlin, the RIA state news agency reports.

Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, who use the aliases "Vovan and Lexus", were presented with the award by the Kremlin at a ceremony yesterday.

The award is given to Russian and foreign nationals for strengthening peace, friendship, cooperation and understanding between Moscow and other nations, among other criteria.

There was no immediate word from the Russian pranksters, who last month released footage of a video call they had with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron after tricking him into thinking he was speaking to a former Ukrainian president.

During the hoax call, Lord Cameron thought he was speaking with former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko.

The duo are well-known inside Russia, having duped a string of politicians over the years, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and, in 2022, Britain's then-defence minister, Ben Wallace.

Vladimir Putin has said his preference for Joe Biden remains unchanged after watching fragments of the debate between the US president and Donald Trump.

Asked by a state television reporter if Mr Biden or Trump was better, if his publicly stated preference for Biden had changed after the debate, and if he had seen it, Mr Putin said: "Nothing has changed."

"Did we not know what could come? We knew," the Russian president added.

Mr Putin has several times said he feels Joe Biden is preferable as the future US president to Trump, even after Mr Biden cast the Kremlin chief as a "crazy SOB".

Mr Putin said he had seen parts of the debate between both Mr Biden and Trump but he had other things to attend to.

"I saw some fragments," Mr Putin said. "But I have enough to do."

Asked about Trump's statements that he could end the Ukraine war swiftly if he won the presidential election, Mr Putin said Russia took him seriously but had no sense of the details of any of Trump's peace proposals.

"The fact that Mr Trump, as a presidential candidate, declares that he is ready and wants to stop the war in Ukraine, we take this completely seriously," he said.

What else did Putin say today?

The Russian leader also reiterated that Moscow would not declare a ceasefire in Ukraine until Kyiv takes steps that are "irreversible" and acceptable to the Kremlin.

He said it was pointless for Russia to attempt to appeal to the Ukrainian parliament when it came to Moscow's ideas to end the conflict between the two countries.

Mr Putin said last month that Russia would end the war in Ukraine only if Kyiv agreed to drop its NATO ambitions and hand over the entirety of four provinces claimed by Moscow, demands Kyiv swiftly rejected as tantamount to surrender.

Drones allegedly struck the vicinity of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant yesterday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said, citing the administration of the occupied facility.

Russian officials yesterday claimed three drones struck an area near the plant. 

The UN nuclear watchdog has now said it received reports of several drone strikes in vicinity of the site, injuring workers at Enerhodar electrical sub-station and starting fires in forest area near the plant.

IAEA experts stationed at the plant reported seeing thick smoke rising near the facility and heard explosions after they were told about an alleged drone attack by the representatives of the plant. 

Director-general Rafael Grossi said: "It is extremely concerning that these drone attacks are continuing, despite the very clear dangers they present to people in Enerhodar as well as to safety at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. 

"They must stop, immediately."

The IAEA also said that before yesterday's strikes, their team had heard of military activities near the plant on most days over the past week.

What has been happening at the plant?

The nuclear facility has been under Russian control since 4 March 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Since then there have been major concerns about the safety of the plant - not least of all because heavy weapons, including shells and rockets, have hit the buildings.

Both sides blame each other. 

Since Russian forces occupied the site there have been multiple power outages, which has increased fears of a nuclear disaster.

Russia's ambassador to the US has said his assignment is coming to an end, a move that would pave the way for Moscow to send a new envoy to Washington at a time when relations are at their worst in decades.

Anatoly Antonov's exit was flagged by Russia's Kommersant newspaper, which spotted a handwritten note that Mr Antonov had sent to congratulate a Moscow thinktank on its 30th anniversary.

"My assignment is coming to an end. I hope that together we will continue to defend the interests of our Fatherland!" Mr Antonov wrote in the congratulatory letter.

When asked about the matter today, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was cited by the Interfax news agency as telling reporters: "There is no reason to comment here. Everyone can have their own personal plans. 

"Decisions on the appointment and change of ambassadors are made by the president."

Mr Antonov took up his role in Washington in September 2017. 

Before that, he served as a deputy defence minister and as a deputy foreign minister.
