Split, Croatia

When you arrive in Split, you may feel for a second like you’re in Italy, with the Venetian squares and the ancient Roman palace that occupies much of the Old Town. Even Roman soldiers march through the streets in the summer months, dressed in full regalia, chanting and singing their way past curious spectators. 

Split is the largest city on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, making it a popular transportation hub and the point of entry for many visitors. This port city has a rich history – having been founded by the Greeks and then occupied by the Romans, the Venetians, the French, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There is a hodgepodge of cultures, which makes for a fascinating experience. Although you could easily spend a week in Split, three days are sufficient to get a taste of the place. This 3-day Split itinerary focuses on history and culture, with some culinary experiences and nightlife in the mix.

Who Is Somto Seeks?

Hi there, I’m Somtochukwu. Can you try pronouncing that? I've always gone by Somto (Sohm-toe). I'm a child of Nigerian immigrants who decided to pursue her dream of living an extraordinary life. In 2015, I chose faith over fear, packing my bags and moving to Spain with $1,000 in my pocket. This was after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused me to develop a giant bald patch in the middle of my scalp. Living in Spain and traveling around Europe for a year changed my life forever, allowing me to discover the freedom of solo travel and the freedom of working from anywhere. Today, I’m a full-time travel writer whose mission is to help you navigate this big, beautiful world with confidence and have those omg-pinch-me-moments you’ll remember for a lifetime.
