Ein großes Reise-Highlight ist eine Fahrt mit der Seilbahn auf den Berg Srđ, von wo aus man ein Panoramablick auf die gesamte Stadt und die umliegende Küste genießen kann.

The city of Split impressively combines history and modernity. The absolute travel highlight of this vibrant Croatian coastal city is Diocletian's Palace: built for the Roman emperor of the same name in the 4th century, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the narrow streets of the palace complex, visit the Cathedral of St. Domnius, and enjoy views of the bustling harbor. In addition to its historical heritage, Split also offers a variety of restaurants, stores and lively markets. It's just perfect for strolling and exploring.
