Split is the second-largest city in Croatia with a population of just under 250,000 people. It is also a very popular tourist destination for lovers of culture, architecture, city and beach living alike. There are many wonderful options when it comes to accommodation; serviced apartments in Split being one of the best.

It is the fact that Split is located on the Mediterranean coast that draws many tourists looking for sun and sand during the day and nightlife and clubs in the evening. The most popular beach to tourists is Bacvice Beach as it is the most easily reached from the city centre. There are a few Split holiday apartments to be found right next to the beach, which is also right next to the Bacvice complex of restaurants and nightclubs.

Since about the year 2000, Split as being redeveloped from a tourism point of view. Many new hotels and serviced flats in Split have been built in the last decade, giving visitors to the city more accommodation options. Previous to this redevelopment, Split was known as more of a transportation hub and is still a great city to base yourself in for day trips to other parts of Croatia.

One of the most popular day trips from Split is a visit to Brac Island, one of the largest islands in central Dalmatia and an interesting place to look around. Companies arranging day trips will often pick you up from your Split apartment rental and take you straight to the ferry.

Back in the city itself and a trip to Diocletian's Palace is first on many people's list of things to do. This magnificent palace is over 1700 years old and was built by former Roman emperor Diocletian as his retirement home. A Split city centre (center) apartment may not be a palace, but it is certainly a great choice as far as beginning your day's sightseeing is concerned.

Another wonderful example of historical architecture is the Cathedral of St Domnius. This Cathedral dates back to a similar period as the palace and was originally intended to be Diocletian's mausoleum.
