Enjoy wholly in Split

Split

(1)Split

Get a dose of complete pleasure while visiting the beaming destination that harmoniously combines the young, modern vibe and the fancy past found in this beautiful city.

The mix of modern structures in the form of bars and restaurants situated just within the radius of some of Split’s historic sites is a great representation of how this city copes well with the progress of time while not ignoring the importance of looking back.

The city has a longstanding history due to the early rise of civilization that flourished in this place. 

The beautiful destination is situated on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, and is considered as the largest city in the Dalmatia region.

Not only it is huge, but it is also considered as the oldest city with an estimated foundation date in 305 CE. The city itself measures 22. 12 square kilometers and has an estimated population of around 180,000.

Climate

Marmont street leads to the sea and was the western boundary of the Venetian town. Wide and adorned with elegant residences, the street is named after the general who decided the town was safe enough to destroy the Venetian walls. Once removed, parks and esplanades such as this sprung up and opened Split to its glimmering seascape.This vision was that of Auguste Frédéric Louis Viesse de Marmont, Napoleon's aide-de-camp and most stalwart supporter/traitor. Dubrovnik invited the French to help defend their city against the Russian fleet -- but they stayed and Marmont became Duke of Ragusa.  Viewed with disdain by the French, Marmont is well remembered in Dalmatia for being a good governor and for creating public works such as this street. (You may recall that about this time, Paris was tearing down its city walls and creating those lovely boulevards.  "Boulevard," of course, is the French word for bastion.) With its lack of cars and sea views, Rue Marmont is easily as pleasant as most Parisian streets.

Split’s climate borders between humid subtropical and Mediterranean. Those who want to experience the allure of this place can ideally travel between the months of May until September because these months have nice average climate.

The downpour of rain usually occurs from October to December. While the charm of the city is undeniable, those who want to travel to the area should stay away from the said months in order to avoid the hassle of the wet surroundings.

Transportation

The city can be reached through other major cities in Europe. Unlike other destinations though, airports that offer direct flights to Split do not schedule daily trips for the city.

The good thing about going to Split though, is that most airports situated in key cities in Europe offer flights to and from the place, which is why reaching the place isn’t too much of a hassle.

Those coming from Italy can resort to a ferry ride while buses and trains are also available from Munich and Zagreb.

Attractions

Known to be the main attraction in Split, the astounding palace serves as a reminder of the famous Roman era in the Adriatic coast.

The place isn’t all about the palace. The buildings surrounding it served their own purposes, especially in tourism, because they were turned into restaurants and bars that are specifically intended for those who visit this interesting spot.

This is the villa that contains the studio of Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. See the master’s art pieces of sculptures in marbles, bronze, wood and gypsum that were derived from the artist’s creative mind until 1946.

The place is rich in various forms of art that mostly exhibit impressionism, art nouveau and art deco. The place was donated by Mestrovic to the government of Croatia and became an exquisite destination for art enthusiasts since then.

It would be unlikely not to enjoy the seas surrounding Split while going on a trip to this beautiful city.
Cruising is one of the major activities here, especially for those who seek tranquility and relaxation through the course of nature.

There are small cruise ships that can be rented and enjoyed by small groups of tourists.
