Croatia's second city and #1 Adriatic ferry hub grows organically inside the living 305 CE Roman walls of Emperor Diocletian's Palace—where marble peristyles buzz with espresso bars just steps from high-speed catamarans to Hvar, Brač, and Vis.
Just 60 minutes from Split by high-speed catamaran, the sun-drenched Dalmatian islands offer Hvar's Venetian piazza and Pakleni archipelago coves, Brač's shifting white-pebble horn at Zlatni Rat, and Vis's glowing Blue Cave and Stiniva Cove.
Occupying a Roman peninsula facing the 89 uninhabited islands of Kornati National Park, Zadar pairs 9th-century pre-Romanesque churches with Nikola Bašić's wave-powered Sea Organ and solar Greeting to the Sun.

Croatia's Austro-Hungarian capital charms with gas-lit cobblestones in the medieval Upper Town (Gornji Grad), the heraldic tiled roof of St. Mark's Church, red-umbrella stalls at Dolac Market, and lively Tkalčićeva Street café culture.
