The largest city on the
Adriatic Coast, Split is not only a hub with road and sea
connections to numerous summer resorts, but also has its own
long tradition as a tourist destination. The town’s first
tourist guide was published in 1894. The 1700 years of tradition
are apparent in a variety of archaeological, historical and
cultural monuments, not least of which is the Palace of
Diocletian, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage. The city’s
historic significance can be followed through Split’s many
museums, and its art galleries make for a rewarding visit. Split
is also a major sports centre, offering numerous opportunities
for almost all types of water and other sports. Pleasures of the
palate are plentiful with restaurants and wine cellars offering
local specialities. The city's coves hold several beautiful
beaches, including Bacvice, a sandy beach set almost in the
heart of the city.
