Must-See Attractions in Split
Explore the vibrant city of Split, where ancient Roman history meets the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Wander through the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace, relax on sun-drenched beaches, and discover lively markets, charming squares, and breathtaking coastal views — all waiting to be explored.

Explore Diocletian’s Palace
This stunning UNESCO World Heritage site, built in the 4th century, is not just an architectural marvel but also a living part of the city, filled with shops, cafes, and local life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its rich history.

Stroll Along the Riva
Split’s lively waterfront promenade is the perfect place to take a leisurely walk. Lined with palm trees, it offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and is bustling with activity.

Visit the Cathedral of St. Domnius:
This impressive cathedral, originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Diocletian, features stunning Roman architecture. Climb its bell tower for breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding coastline—a photo opportunity you won’t want to miss.
When to Visit Split
The best time to visit Split is during the spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is warm and sunny, the Adriatic Sea is perfect for swimming, and the city is lively but not overcrowded. July and August are peak season, ideal if you love festivals and a bustling atmosphere, but be prepared for higher prices and busy attractions. For a quieter trip with mild weather, late September offers a perfect balance of sunshine and fewer crowds.
Don't Forget!
Treat yourself to authentic Croatian flavors at a konoba (traditional tavern), where you can savor local specialties like fresh seafood, grilled meats, and homemade pastas in a cozy, rustic atmosphere.
Try Peka, a beloved Dalmatian dish of meat or seafood slow-cooked under a bell-shaped lid, often prepared with vegetables and fragrant herbs.
Sip local wines and craft rakija (fruit brandy), especially varieties from the nearby islands and the Pelješac Peninsula.
Save room for dessert — sample rozata (Dalmatian custard pudding) or fresh figs and almonds from local markets.
Dine al fresco whenever possible, enjoying the sea breeze and beautiful sunsets while you eat.

We had a fantastic experience working with The Travel Byrds travel agency! From start to finish, everything was handled efficiently and thoughtfully. Krista made sure we had dinner reservations at a variety of restaurants, provided plenty of detailed information about excursions, and ensured every part of our trip was well organized. We experienced zero travel issues during our stay, which made the entire vacation completely stress-free. This ended up being one of our best family vacations yet, and we truly appreciate the care and attention Krista put into every detail.Posted on Joan NathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maggie with The Travel Byrds was amazing! She took great care to make sure every step of our international vacation was perfect. She sent several emails explaining the currency and customs of each country. Including tipping protocols. She made sure all of our documents were current and ready to go. I cringed about downloading another app for this trip. No regrets!! We checked the app every morning and every night while out of the country. Our itinerary was clearly outlined and so easy to navigate. We actually looked forward to checking the outline every day. Our international return flight was cancelled. It was Maggie who notified us immediately! (Not the airline company, not the excursion company!). She secured a return flight back to the U.S. before the other companies let us know about the cancellation! Top notch service from start to finish. I am excited and calm about our next out of country trip in August 2026. I know she will be monitoring all aspects of that holiday break. Thank you, Maggie!Posted on Justin WolfTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with this company and specifically with Haley. Organized an amazing NYE trip outside of the states quickly, cost effective and fun for the whole family. Will use again!Posted on Quinlyn SchultzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maggie made it so easy planning our Honeymoon!
