Split is the second largest city in Croatia and hosts numerous attractions that will satisfy the various interests of visitors. This is another idea for you while you are staying at the Beach hotel Plaža, Drašnice Makarska.
Upon arrival in Split, the first thing you will notice is the famous Diocletian’s Palace, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For history lovers, a visit to Split museums such as the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of the City of Split will be a real treat. These museums preserve numerous artifacts and stories about the rich past of the city and region.
But Split is not only about history; it is also known for its beautiful beaches. Bačvice Beach is a popular beach located near the city center and is ideal for relaxing and swimming. You can engage in various water sports or simply lie in the sun.
In the evening, Split comes alive, especially during the summer. Many restaurants and bars offer live music and local artists. Take a walk along the Split waterfront and enjoy a walk by the sea while the sun sets.
