Iconic beach with an awesome view of the Walls of Dubrovnik! It’s super easy to get here, but just know it will be crowded since it’s popular

Krka National Park

One of my all time favorite national parks! My top tip is to get here early because when this place gets crowded (which it always does) it take a lot of the beauty away from it. It is a easy day trip from Split and there is a main bus terminal that you can take a coach bus to the national park. Public transportation here is never really on time so PLEASE remember to pay attention so that you don't miss it. Give yourself a whole day here though and not just a few hours. It is too pretty of a place to rush through

Diocletian's Palace

An ancient palace that was built for the Roman emperor. It’s a really cool historical site to visit

Zinfandel Food & Wine bar

Best restaurant we ate at in Croatia!! It’s a sit down place that’s a bit upscale, but worth every penny. 100% get the cheese board and the house made ravioli

Buza Bar

Known as the bar with great views! Best bar to watch the sunset at considering its a bar within a cliff overlooking the ocean 😍

Walls of Dubrovnik

You need to visit this place if you’re a game of thrones fan!! You’ll feel like you just walked into one of the scenes from the show. Really great views from the walls and a very historic place to visit

Dubrovnik

Highly recommend hiring a private boat for the day here to take you to see other islands and views of the walls/city from the outside. If you go with enough friends then the private boat will be a better deal than the arranged tours and you’ll get to visit any islands you’d like to without a set itinerary

This hotel is a 3 min walk from the beach and it’s a fully renovated 16-century property! Is walking distance from the old town center as well and prices start at $50 a night. Highly recommend this place for its convenience and price point

Split

It’s generally cheaper to fly into this city than the rest of Croatia (depending on where you are located) we stayed in an Airbnb while we were here and took buses from split to get to the rest of our destinations Zagreb Krka National Park Dubrovnik

Restaurant Panorama

This restaurant is actual goals I was in awe of the view the whole time and would go back here 20+ times if I could. You have to pay to take the cable car up the mountain to get here but it’s worth it!!! (Or you can hike haha) DONT FORGET TO MAKE A RESERVATION

Bellevue Beach

I really like this beach because it’s a lot less touristy than most of the other ones but just as beautiful if not more. Fewer people come here because without a car it’s about a 45 min walk from old town, but the walk is so scenic or paying for a car isn’t THAT experience if you’re with friends

Cave bar More

The legendary cave bar in Dubrovnik Upscale yet rustic design is perfect for escaping the heat and having a cocktail

Hvar Island

About an hour ferry ride from Split (or rent a private boat if you have enough friends with you because that’s better) Such a great day trip or if you have time to stay on the island overnight for a few days that’s even better!
