The city of Split is the second largest in Croatia. Choosing a vacation in this place, tourists besides a beach holiday, will be able to visit the most interesting places of the city within walking distance, and there are not enough in Split. Given the fact that Split is called the city-open-air museum, he has a rich story, which is already 1,700 years old.
Options to examine everything in Split the mass, you can purchase a sightseeing tour, choose the most interesting program and for 30-50 euros will be shown to you and will tell you about 3 hours about everything. However, in my opinion, it is much more interesting to inspect everything yourself, not even from the point of view of saving money, but with the calculation in order to study everything in more detail everything is rich in this unique city of Split.
