Where to stay in Split for nightlife

Where to stay in the historic center of Split

The historic center of Split can be easily covered in one day, and even if you get into the rhythm in half a day. Its stone buildings, bell tower, small terraces and shops stand out in the place.

Sleeping in the historic center of Split has the advantage of being meters away from all the attractions surrounded by spectacular beauty, but you have to consider that in summer there is a lot of bustle at all hours, prices are higher and if you go by car parking is impossible.

Our recommendations for sleeping in the historic center of Splitare as follows:

  • Malena Palace: run by its owners, it is a simple accommodation with an excellent location, less than five minutes walk from the Diocletian’s Palace.
  • Ćiri Biri Bela boutique: for young people or tourists traveling on a budget, it is a hostel with modern facilities, shared rooms and lockers for storing belongings.
  • Guest House Maris : is located in an old stone house typical of Split and next to the historical center. Very nicely decorated rooms, excellent cleanliness and good service. Ideal for couples.
  • Hotel Slavija: very good value for money for being in the center of Split. Spacious rooms for both couples and families, restaurant with delicious food and good breakfast.

The Varos area is located between Marjan Park and the sea, next to the historical center, which can be reached on foot in a few minutes. This is an excellent place to relax, eat in restaurants overlooking the sea, enjoy some of the marina bars and watch the small yachts moored.

Other areas: Lovret, far from the chaos but close to the city center

More residential and with more tranquility, the Lovret neighborhood can be an excellent alternative if you go with your family or by car, as it is an area with many parks and parking is no longer as complicated as in the historic center.

Tourist apartments in Split and Sobes

Tourist apartments are an excellent option for accommodation in Split. The offer is very wide and even the local families themselves offer their apartments for tourists.

Also in Croatia are very common the sobes, where locals offer rooms in their own homes to receive tourists. You have to agree on the price beforehand, usually cheaper than a traditional hotel, and some include breakfast. We used it in Split and the experience was fantastic.
