Aventura extrema en Split: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en Split con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Split is an exuberant city full of life, where ancient history is not in a museum, but forms the streets and squares of your daily life. Its heart is the extraordinary Diocletian's Palace, a vast 4th-century Roman complex that is today a labyrinth of bars, restaurants, shops and apartments. At its feet stretches the Riva, an elegant promenade lined with palm trees and cafes that is the social soul of the city. As the gateway to the Dalmatian Islands, with the green Mount Marjan as a backdrop and a vibrant local culture defined by 'fjaka' (the art of relaxation), Split is a perfect blend of monumental heritage and Mediterranean hedonism.

Climb the bell tower of Saint Domnius
The climb is narrow and a little dizzying, but offers the best 360-degree view of the heart of the palace, the Riva and the port. It's better than any drone.
Look for the 'Žbirac' bar in Bačvice
Just above Bačvice beach, it is an unpretentious bar, very popular with locals, with a terrace offering one of the best views of the bay and the sunset. A perfect place for a cheap beer at the end of the day.
Learn the art of 'Fjaka'
It is not laziness, it is a sublime state of mind of relaxation and doing nothing. The coffee culture in the Riva is its maximum expression. Order a coffee and enjoy the moment without rushing.
Play (or watch) 'Picigin'
On Bačvice Beach, you'll see locals playing 'picigin': an acrobatic game that involves keeping a small ball out of the water. It is an amateur sport that is intangible cultural heritage of Croatia.
