Can you visit Split without a car?

Yes. The old town is walkable, buses and taxis cover the city, and ferries connect you to the islands. A car is only useful for inland day trips to Krka or Plitvice.

Is Split walkable for tourists?

Very much so. The old town and Riva are entirely pedestrianised. Bačvice Beach is a 10-minute walk from the palace. Marjan Hill is a 20-minute walk from the western gate.

Which beach is best in Split?

Bačvice for the sandy bottom and local atmosphere. Kaštelet and Kašuni beaches on the Marjan peninsula are quieter and better for swimming in clear water. Both are free.

What food should I try in Croatia?

Grilled fish with olive oil and lemon, peka (slow-cooked meat under a bell), pasticada beef stew, and fresh seafood along the coast. For something quick, burek from any bakery.

Is Split safe for solo travellers?

Yes. Split is safe for solo travellers including solo women. The old town is busy until late, the streets are well-lit, and violent crime is rare. Normal urban awareness is all you need.
