Private Jet to Split

Split has long been renowned for its stunning architecture and rich, checkered history. This history is epitomized by the breathtaking Diocletian’s Palace, a vast complex of buildings originally constructed in the 4th century. The city's dramatic natural landscapes and beaches have always been a major draw for visitors. In recent years, tourists have also flocked to Split to visit filming locations for the hit series Game of Thrones, adding a modern twist to its historical allure.

Beyond its cultural richness, Split is also one of Croatia’s most sought-after sailing hubs. Its strategic location on the Adriatic makes it an ideal starting point for island-hopping adventures, coastal sailing routes, and discovering the region through luxury Yacht Charters in Croatia, allowing travelers to explore the coast in style. From Split’s marina, visitors can easily embark on cruises to nearby islands like Hvar, Brač, Vis, or Korčula, making the city a hotspot for both seasoned sailors and first-time cruising enthusiasts.

As Dalmatia’s largest city and Croatia’s second-largest city after the capital, Zagreb, Split is a bustling hub of activity. Situated on a peninsula jutting into the Adriatic Sea, the city is home to 160,000 people and the University of Split, which boasts the biggest campus in Croatia. The city's vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by its unique blend of ancient and contemporary influences.

While in Split, visitors should explore the famous Pazar market to buy local produce such as olive oil or dine at a traditional restaurant. Local dishes like pašticada, a beef dish in a sweet and sour red wine sauce with gnocchi, and brodet/brudet, a fish stew, offer a delicious taste of the region's culinary heritage. Split's seafront, primarily a harbor, offers two main beaches: the central and often bustling Bacvice, and the quieter Kastelet, located just 20 minutes from the city center.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Split offers numerous recreational opportunities. Marjan Hill, a forested park, provides amazing views from its peak-top viewpoint, accessible via a steep staircase or a gentler forest path. It’s ideal for cycling, climbing, and hiking, as are the nearby Mosor Mountains, known as the 'Split Alps.' A ferry ride to the island of Brač, part of the ‘Croatian Camino’ walking route, is another great option. For a more leisurely experience, stroll along the Riva, a seafront promenade adjacent to Diocletian’s Palace, or relax in Republic Square, with its red walls and green shutters. In the evening, consider sunset yoga at Sustipan Park or night-time stand-up paddleboarding sessions, followed by a visit to one of Split's many jazz, cocktail, and wine bars.

Split's cultural and historical attractions are abundant and not to be missed. Key sites include the Ethnographic Museum, Archaeological Museum, Maritime Museum, and Museum of Fine Arts. Fans of Game of Thrones will enjoy the dedicated museum and themed city tours. The UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, the Belltower and Cathedral of St. Dominus, the medieval Klis fortress, and the ancient ruins of Saloma (Solin) dating from 119 BCE, offer deep dives into the city's past. Before booking your private jet to Split, it's helpful to know that the city enjoys 2,600 hours of sunshine annually, with hot, dry summers, warm falls, and wet winters.
