What is the best time to visit Split?
May, June, and September offer the perfect balance of warm, swimmable weather and fewer crowds than the peak of July and August.
Is Split walkable for tourists?
The old town is entirely pedestrianised and very walkable, though comfortable shoes are essential for navigating the polished, slippery limestone streets.
