Split Maps and Orientation

(Split, Central Dalmatia, Croatia)



Split is located on the Central Dalmatia coast, between Dubrovnik (further south) and Zadar. The city is a fair way south of the bulk of Croatia and is one of the country's major gateways, having an airport as well as good rail and bus access, together with a sizeable port.

Maps are needed for getting about as there is an Old Town and a New Town, along with a harbour and port area that stretches along the shore a fair way. The centre in its entirety is about 5 km / 3 miles across and sits on a small peninsula, although from the point of view of tourists, the action is all up behind the harbour in a compact area.


Maps and Orientation of the City

The ferry port, to the south and east of the harbour proper and Old Town, forms the busiest part of Split, being just down from Riva promenade - the main thoroughfare. Further back again is the rambling Diocletian's Palace, showing as behind the harbour on Split maps.

The Diocletian Palace functions as the historic core and is bounded by city walls and major streets. You will also need maps to get around this ancient centre, as it consists of a network of close-knit alleys. If you haven't previously picked up maps online, then look to the principal tourist information office, on the Peristyle (square) of Diocletian's Palace.
