The place where locals go to socialize and soak up the sun. The soul of Split (but more of a fashion runway nowadays). Taking a looong coffee on Riva is a must :) There are some nice restaurants as well!

Parks & Nature

Beautiful nature with waterfalls, like Plitvice but smaller, only 1h drive from Split. This is more of a half-day tour, but you can include visiting Šibenik or Primošten which are both close.

This is where locals go for jogging, walking, bicycling and swimming. Beaches have shade, but they're mostly rocky. Prve vode beach is the closest and it's a pebble beach, while Bene is 1.5 km from the Marjan gates with sand in the sea and a restaurant. Other than that it's mostly rocks, but (we) the locals love them. ☺️

Food Scene

We're really trying to keep our guidebook up to date, especially the food section, as we know that's a huge part of the travelling experience and getting to know a new culture. Therefore, we only add places that have survived for a number of years and are consistent in maintaining the level of quality, but even so, please check them online yourselves, don't take only our word for it! 🙂

This is the pizza place of our youth, it's been around forever and they haven't changed a thing inside for as long as I can remember. Which is kind of comforting in this quick-paced, ever-changing world. The pizza is really good, it has always been the best pizza in town before the age of gazillion of restaurants and pizza places.
