👇 More information about the best things to do in Split, Croatia below👇
Split is Croatia’s second largest city. Founded as a Greek Colony way back in the 3rd century, and later the home of Roman emperor Diocletian. From there, waves of foreign control shifted throughout history as the Byzantine, Venitian, Austria-Hungary, French, German, Dothraki, and most recently, Yugoslavia, have all had their moment in time here.
Empires, Republics, and Kingdoms have all come and gone, but the walls of Diocletian's Palace have remained.
Here is my top 10 list of the best things to do in Split, Croatia in just one day!
1. Get Up Early
One of the absolute best things to do in Split, Croatia is to wake up early and go walk around the old town of Diocletian's Palace. Split gets very crowded with boat tours and tourists after about 8am, so if you want to enjoy Split and all of her beauty, I highly recommend an early start!
2. Bakery Breakfast
One of the most popular things to do in Split is to walk down along the Riva Promenade and this is where you can find a number of bakeries for breakfast.
3. Walk the Riva Promenade
The Riva promenade is where everyone comes and goes on their Croatia boat charters and there’s a ton of little stalls setup with local crafts and Croatian food.
4. Shop the Ribarnica (Fish Market) in Split
If you are up early enough you can visit the city’s fish market right in the heart of old town, where you can pick up a fresh catch straight from the Adriatic at a good price - perfect if you’re on a budget and want to cook Croatian food at home.
5. Explore the Green Market of Split
For fruits and veggies, the farmer’s market just outside the ancient palace walls is another great place to get a taste of something local. The Green Market is open every day.
6. Enjoy Bačvice Beach in downtown Split, Croatia
Now, most of you who come to visit Split will likely head out on a boat or yacht for more beautiful beaches and water, but if you have an extra day in the city like we do before we ship off to Hvar, this is a very convenient spot to cool off.
7. Play Picigin on Bačvice Beach
The must-play Croatian water game is called Picigin, and is said to have originated right here. Traditionally played with the interior of a tennis ball Picigin is a mix of volleyball and handball. There’s no formal rules, point or winners, but the goal is to pass around the ball with the most creative and spectacular rallies possible.
Honestly, this was probably my favorite thing to do in Split!
8. Hike Up Marjan
For a great view over Split, hike up Marjan to the viewpoint over the city.
9. Eat at Pizzeria Galija
Croatia has incredible Italian Food, and this is one of the best pizzas I've had! For more traditional Croatian food, Fife Restaurant in downtown Split is also very good!
10. Finish with Gelateria Emiliana
Every day of our Croatia Road Trip was pretty much capped off with gelato. It's one of the best things to do in Split, Croatia for sure!

TRY RIZOTTO NERO, THAT IS TRUE CROATIAN DELICACY AND PASTICADA WITH NJOKI. TRY CROATIAN PROSECCO, PROSHEK, TOTALY DIFFERENT FROM ITALIAN. IT IS SWEET, THICK, VINO, IT IS NOTHING LIKE ITALIAN PROSECCO. AND IN BOBIS CAKES CALLED BRESKVICE, THEN SCAMPI ON BUZAR, GIRICE. THAT GORAN IS NOT SHOWING YOU MUCH. THEN I DALMATIAN DELI, DELICATESEN SHOP YOU CAN TRY ALL DALMATIAN SHPECK, DALMATIAN CHESSES AND DRY MEATS.
That food... 🤤
I’m so Sold on going to Croatia… it’s so Beautiful and the food just looks Amazeballs !!!!
Smart move Mike, smart move! 👊
You might just never leave because of the food.😂
@@DailyHistoryBuff lmao… your probably right brother… I’m such a foodie and I get weak around good food…👊🏼💯💙
@@GarethLeonard Bro… I’ve been dying to go since the first video I saw on this place. I think it’s stunning and the food… dude I get weak for good food… it all just looks amazing… 💯👊🏼💙
Croatia is lovely. Not sure how u ended up on my recommendations list but glad u did! Been playing catch-up on all ur videos. Do more!❤️🙏🏾
I don't know how you got here, but I'm glad you're here. 😊🙏
ANDREAS Kalcker and Jim Humble for help on infection
That Dothraki segue was so smooth. 😆 That Marjan hike is so worth the views, reminds me of hikes to get to Namsan Tower and Mt. Tapyas.
Haha, I was wondering if people would catch that! 🐉
@@GarethLeonard for sure a lot of us did. 😆
Khaleeesi
This is fantastic! I was literally in Split last week and left on Friday. Now back in San Diego and reminiscing of Split through this video. Bummer, must've just missed ya out there! Awesome video!
Ha, you'll have these videos ready for next year! 😅
Such a beautiful City. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks for coming along with us! 🙏
Lovely and interesting split.
Great vid!
Considering you’re a bball guy, I hope they told you Kukoc and Radja are from Split. Would’ve been nice to see Gripe bball arena from which those two ruled European basketball for many years.
Great work!
I actually tried to reach out to Kukoc to connect while I was in Croatia. I would have LOVED to get there but it was closed for the season 🤦🏻♂️
It’s a beautiful place the food looks great I loved the view from high air shot over the terracotta roof tiles,beach nearby ❤️🐨🦘
It is such a magical and historical place! 😊🇭🇷
Hey Gareth, I've told you this before, but your advice about waking up super early in tourist heavy places is the best advice ever! It made my 3 days in Kyoto so incredible; I had some of the most famous attractions all to myself!
I am so happy to hear that man!! 👊
Great video as always! Had a great time with Split!🇭🇷🙌🏻 Hope your camera survives the rest of the trip after your daily ice cream!😂
If you guys want to see more behind-the-scenes, check out the interviews with Gareth and Tyler about their journey as creators!🤩🙌🏻⚡️
Check out this great interview Goran did with Tyler (the man behind the lens in this series) 👉 ruclips.net/video/SK_HpTdwqf8/видео.html
Split looks amazing. Looks like a beautiful and charming city I'd love to explore. Hahaha I'm amazed that your camera can handle that much ice cream. And, speaking of ice cream, the kid who tried to scare you learned a valuable lesson that day 🤣
Haha, my microphone is still crusted with dried ice cream. It has been through many dairy battles 😂
I think that game is really close to Hacky Sack…. Of course we use our feet… but the same exact concept… no rules… just be clever tossing it… that’s what I grew up playing at the beach… which transcended into playing it every where… just great fun… 💙💙💙
PS: I WANT THAT BREAD WITH THE GARLIC !!!!
What a beautiful place. Love the out takes too😊
Thank you!! I'm happy all of my mis-adventures make these episodes fun 😂
Another excellent video.
Thank you David! 👊
Yeah, I caught the Dothraki mention... haha! Little GOT reference. Then when the dove flew over I'm like "Ahhhh! Dragon! Run!!!!" lol
Haha, I was wondering how many people would catch that 🐉
Great video and greetings from Slavonia region, just one tip- he called Kulen salami, ufff for us who making Kulen thants insult xD Kulen is one of Slavonian tipe of sausage.. also lots of great food to try in Slavonia :)
Kroasia sangat indah...

Kenya🇰🇪, in the building bro, full support.

@@GarethLeonard 👍💪
Hooray for Pipi!!! 😂
Haha, so tasty 😂🍊
Funny, because in German Pipi means pee.. but not the thing to do but basically the fluid...
🤨😳🥴
Excellent vlog as always!! Being a long-term fan of yours I have to compliment how rested and healthy you look!😉 I have a question how do you maintain that while you travel? Also what is the longest time you been awake while traveling! Keep up the great work, Gareth!❤
Thank you so much Toney, I really appreciate it! My two biggest tips are - I try to sleep whenever I can (7 hours minimum) and I drink a TON of water! Also, I try to swim whenever we get a chance too 😀
Heart of Dalmatia ❤🏛
i visited croatia in november 2021 and this video was published more than 9 months after i visited croatia
As a dalmatian, i really need to try Soparnik, im embarrassed i never tried 🤦🏼♀️
Brale sta cekas
@@duba1950 🤣, a nije bas ode di živim to obicaj radit, ode vise riba, morat cu do Splita ocito potegnit 🤣👍🏻
u dalmatinskoj zagori niti jedna festa ne moze proc bez zeljenika(soparnika) ja zivim u Poljicima odakle i potjece zeljenik to je nesto sto morate probat
@@Th-ee3ff obavezno 👍🏻, ode kod nas u Rogoznici bude samo liti kad je neki sajam al nikad ne odem 🤣
Haha, we just so happened to stumble upon it, so I guess I was lucky 😅
thanks for showing all this interesting places and yummy foods, because many tourists think before visiting croatia that croats eat all day cevapi and burek only :-))
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving the series! Are you heading to Montenegro or Macedonia by any chance? Also, if you ever get to Norway, you must try the “Soft Is med Krokan” or soft serve ice cream rolled in crushed toffee. Amazing! Safe travels :)
Oh man, that sounds so good! How did I miss that when I was in Norway!? No time for other countries on this trip, but I will most definitely be back again soon!! 🙏
Haha...you are such a goof!!...(LOVE it...fun to watch along..😆)...
Haha, more and more trying to show my truest self on camera 🤪
@@GarethLeonard have you been holding out on us??🧐🤔🥸🤓😱
Hey Handsome ,I l love all of your wonderful and interesting adventures!
Thank you Alex, I appreciate it. 🙏
Wow! Your so BLESSED to be able to try all that amazing food. I have so many food allergies that I’m restricted to what I can eat.
I love ALL your videos 💕
PeaceAndLove
Lori
Nice video.
Many many thanks 🙌
I can't stop laughing after that pipi scene XD
original TV commercial for Pipi from the early 80s
ruclips.net/video/oZzwRi7jXsg/видео.html
I can't shake the thought that Gareth must have known what a pipi really means in slang when he said he wanted a pipi..
The Dothraki lmao mmen ohh men thats good. That made me subscribe now.
Will you go to Vukovar? Touch base with history there with early 90s History. The world needs to know bro.
Za dom!
Unfortunately, we didn't have time on this trip to make it up that way, but I will most definitely be back to learn more and visit Vukovar!! 🙏
@@GarethLeonard Sounds good. Thanks for showing us your trips. Also Bosnia is good too. Good people there also.
Croatia is so beautiful. Planning a trip for next year. Thank you..
Love to hear that! 4 more episodes from Croatia still to come!! 🙌
You forgot to mention most inportant thing Hajduk Split😅
I wish they were in-season when we were there. I would have loved to make a video about going to a match!! Next time!! ⚽️🙌
This _is_ Swiss chard. We like collard greens, too, and other bitter-ish greens I don't know English names of.
Correct. I explain this in the Pula scene of the Istria episode as well. 👍
Ohhh wow very nice place,, you can visit my country also, which is the Philippines it's a small country but people here very kind and humble,, a you should try also filipino dish my friend.., 💓💓💓
Thank you very much! 🙏
The girls is beautiful bro omg like they are really cute 😊
Yes, Croatian women are very beautiful - as are the women who come to visit Croatia 🙌
Yummylicious foodie😋😋🥰🥰🇵🇭
So good!! 😁
Incoming swazy at 12:56:)
loool. the nipple bit was tmi. cant stop laughing 🤣
Did you see any extremely tall men? I hear Croatians are huge ?
Not abnormally tall to be honest. They were about as average as Americans.
@@GarethLeonard They're tallest around Zadar and Šibenik area (NBA basketball players abound), getting shorter the further south you go. Island population is generally shorter than coastal.
Serbian concentration camp for Children:
- Rakovica manastir near belgrade.
During War in Kosovo 1999, Serbs rpd over 20.000 albanian women (many of them under 14 years old) in condentration camps.
And serbs did the only genocide on european ground after ww2 (srebrenica), and startet 4 wars.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@NekoImeniserbian is proud of his children camps...
Nothing spezialisiert...
‘My nipples always tell the story’. 😂🤣
Haha, they are my guiding light 😂
idk how to explain to english speaking ppl difference between višnja and trešnja. any1 can help?
sour cherry - višnja, sweet cherry - trešnja
Thanks for the help! 👊
Wow Amazing Thanks for sharing
BIG LOVE FROM IRAN
Thanks for watching!! 🙏
I love pipi too. 😉
Haha, the flavor is fantastic 😂
@@GarethLeonard you are telling me, buddy! 😂
LEONARD TMI!!! loool
😂
figs are not eaten whole, but the skin should be peeled off😄
in Dalmatia deepend of the sort of figs and no washing
Yugoslavia !
What a world!
no, this is croatia, since croats arrived there, in the 6th century.
so around 1300 years.
yugoslavia was only a few decades.
What exactly do you want to convey to us, here at this point, with this term "Yugoslavia"?
HA HA HA HA
YOUR FUNNY AT THE END TRYING TO REMEMBER YOUR LINES ,, JUST BE NATUREAL --- SPELLING ,, SEE ?? WE ARE NOT PERFECT .. BE YOUUUUU!!!!!
Haha, easier said then done when you're trying to be entertaining, informative, energetic, and charismatic on camera... "just be you" is very funny advice that we should all listen to, but is so hard to actually do when you're filming. 😂
You missed the Ottoman lol
Haha, I'm sure I missed a lot of history in these 10 seconds 😂
@@GarethLeonard Haha but I really like the way you do travel vlogs in general! Travel deep!
@@liamli5593 Split and Dalmatia were NEVER under ottoman occupation.
??? The Ottoman? In Split?
That Gotran Andijašević is a bad choice. He is not a real Croat. He doesn't even know the real date of Thanksgiving which is August 5th, not the 6th as he blathers on. He also took you swimming at the CETINA SPRING! There is a source of drinking water for half of Dalmatia. Terrible!!!
You actually played picigin with someone who don't even know to play it. Next time ask someone who to watch and then you will see what is that sport about. Lot more running. Not all can play it.
DOBRO JUTRO not dobar dan!
Still learning 🤦🏻♂️
Serbian concentration camp for children:
- Rakovica manastir near belgrade
Serbian rp camps during the 1990s:
- Omarska camp

Not the Gestapo but the whole world was disgusted
they come to Croatia and eat pizza?
Omg did i read that right!!! #onlyfans!! #foodporn
That pizza looked good. Spicy is always good. Also the Swiss Chard, oil and garlic dough, looked fantastic
Amazing video! I‘m so happy you had a good time in Croatia. Hope you will come
again!
Thank you very much, Denis! 🙏
My recommendation is the island of Šolta! Although I think this one will drag you to Brač.
Enjoyed the leprechaun kick 😂. What a beautiful country.
Haha, I was hoping someone would catch that! 🤾🏻♂️
The most likable American youtuber so far :)
Haha, I appreciate that. 👊
So much delicious food to check out in Split, plus a Top Gun: Travel Deeper sports montage. Landing there next Thursday. Can’t wait. 🤴🏼😂🦊
Haha, make sure you recreate this scene while you're there! Enjoy the trip, Chris!
I m Croatian broo this is nice video ❤️🇭🇷
I appreciate it Toni, thanks for watching
I was in Split last year for the month of May. Loved it. I did all your recommendations! I liked the other beach on side of town. More pebbly and quiet but more picturesque!

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 🙏
Hii I'm from India.... But i love to watch English videos...
Thanks for watching. I hope to visit India one day soon 🙏
As I local I would suggest everyone to take a city tour of Split. For a relatively small city it has such a rich and interesting history that it is almost unbelievable. Explore the story behind all those ancient stone walls, temples and buildings. You will not regret it 😉✌🏻
I completely agree, thanks Frano! 🍻
I am going to Croatia on sept 20. How many more videos do you have for Croatia?
4 more episodes 😁
@@GarethLeonard Hurry up and post them! 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Great video love seeing the old city it is very special. And what a big bite you put on that cherry strudel. Enjoy
Haha, thanks Mark! I've never been accused of taking small bites 😅
@@GarethLeonard It demonstrates your zest for life. Enjoy

Hey Gareth, just curious where this fella was stationed on the Riva? My friend and I are looking for this man to try it.
Nice Guitar playing as a background.
I LOVE PIPI haha
🔥🥂
nice video.
THE BEST. Thank you.
I'm going in May, I can't wait I was fixated on Dubrovnik for awhile, but after much research, I think Split is more my vibe, and what I'm looking for when visiting Croatia of all the cities will definitely visit Dubrovnik while there and other areas but will stay in Split looks beautiful.
Dubrovnik became part of Croatia only in ww2.....when Hitler actually created Croatia.
@@NekoImeni actually Dubrovnik was always croatian Since history begining...While serbia was created by turks in 1851 and never Existed before
Wow this is amazing I really want to go to Croatia it sounds fun
All nations have dark moments......
.....but only Croats had children concentration camps.

Split = croatia

@@jonomobono3223 “Already in the third century before Christ, did the Romans, then at war with the Carthaginians, understand how necessary it was to them to rule the Adriatic, and that in order to do so they needed to dominate its Eastern Coast. It was thus that after the end of the first Punic War they started in 229 B. C. the first of these ten Illyrian wars which in the year 78 B.C. brought the entire region East of the Adriatic under their rule.
The whole of Dalmatia belonged to Rome for nearly six centuries without interruption: it went then to the Italian Kingdom of Odoacre and to the Italian Kingdom of the Ostrogoths: and finally to the Empire of the East when Italy was reconquered. Venice had possession of the whole of it from the end of the XV century to the end of the XVIII century except for such temporary and partial losses which occurred in her struggles with the Turcs. Venice never gave up the islands and the towns on the Dalmatian coast not even during those short periods during which Dalmatia was partially Croat or Hungarian.
Only at the end of the XVIII century Dalmatia came under the rule of the Austrian Monarchy and only in as much as it was made an heir to the territory of the Venetian Republic. Dalmatia remained therefore even then all one with Italy. It was included in Napoleon's ephemeral Kingdom of Italy, from which it was only temporarily severed to form the provinces of Illyria. It then was restored unto Austria together with Venice and it is only from 1866 until today that it has existed politically severed from the Italian peninsula.
Therefore not only by nature art and civilisation, but also through its history, Dalmatia essentially pertains to Italy.”
