Holiday in Split-Dalmatië.

What to do in Split-Dalmatia?

Split, the main city of Split-Dalmatia, is a city where you can easily spend several days. There is a lot to do in the city and the atmosphere is nice. Split has a beautiful old town centre with a pleasant boulevard. The cosy feeling within the old centre is characterised by the many squares and narrow streets. When you walk down the main street, you will be enchanted by the beautiful marble stones. For those who do not mind walking, climbing the Marjan Hill is a fun activity. The reward is at the top: a beautiful view. But of course, this beautiful region offers more than just Split. There are plenty of nice villages/towns to visit. A well-known one is Primošten, which is a peninsula located in the sea about 60 kilometres from Split. The previously mentioned island of Brač is also highly recommended by Poolincluded. Brač is the third largest island in the Adriatic and is ideal for hiking. The highest point on the Adriatic, Mount Vidova gora, is also located on this island. From this mountain, you have a great view, and you can also see the island of Hvar. The most famous beach on Brač is Zlatni Rat, a pebble beach with a v-shape.
