If you're looking for a cheap ticket to Split, UK airports still generally offer a good choice of flights in early autumn. Often more affordable than travelling in the summer, September and October offer pleasant temperatures, thinner crowds and warm seas.

If you fly to Split in the winter months, you'll find the weather a little hit and miss. Although the lower temperatures may make a dip in the Adriatic pretty unappealing, you will find that cheap flights are easier to find.

How to get around Split

If you're staying in the centre of the city, you'll find Split very easy to navigate on foot. Most of the area around Diocletian's Palace is pedestrianised so walking is often quicker than getting a cab if you're only travelling short distances.

For longer journeys, buses are your best option. The city's bus network is cheap, extensive and fairly easy to navigate, even if you don't speak Croatian. Buses run from early in the morning until late at night but services can be very limited on Sundays.

Taxis are available throughout central Split and fares are generally affordable. If you'd rather drive yourself around, you'll find a number of car rental services across the city.

Must-see attractions in Split

The main attraction in Split is Diocletian's Palace. As it takes up the majority of the historic centre, it's virtually impossible to miss during your stay in the city.

Spend a few hours exploring its winding streets and soaking up the atmosphere of this unique building.

Once you've had your fill of history, head to the coast to experience life in modern Split. As well as a choice of small city beaches, there are also regular ferries departing from Split to nearby islands where you'll find some truly outstanding places to swim.
