Travelling in Split with a Rental Car

Inhabited since prehistoric times, Split saw great growth in the fourth century when the great Diocletian palace was built for the retiring Roman emperor. To this day the palace is a focal point of the city, one of the best preserved Roman palaces still standing. To visit the site, park your rental car near the harbour, and head within the walls to where among sites such as the 12th century Cathedral of St Duje, you will now also find restaurants and shops in the most historic of settings.

To visit another great historic site, drive your hire car a short distance northeast of Split to the ruins of the ancient Roman town of Salona. Complete with the remains such as the amphitheatre, churches and baths, Salona is a great place to explore Roman ruins without having to put up with the crowds you'd find at more famous locations.

Due to its convenient location, a holiday in Split with a rental car offers you great options for daytrips. You can head out to one of the many picture perfect beaches in the area, or tour the countryside and stop off in cosy little towns and villages.

One daytrip destination that is highly recommended is Trogir, which is a short drive west along the coast. Trogir is a remarkably well preserved medieval town, located mainly on an island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Featuring medieval walls which still surround much of the town, along with a well preserved church and cathedral, Trogir is well worth a visit, and while here be sure to check out Kamerlengo Fortress, which dates back to the 15th century.
