Getting around Split Buses are cheap and frequent, though often crowded. The number 12 bus is particularly useful to tourists; it runs along the coast from Sv Frane (the church at the west end of the Riva) to the Bene recreation ground on the tip of the Marjan peninsula, passing the Meštrovic Gallery en route.

Getting around Split, Croatia, is primarily a mix of walking, busing, and boating. The historic core, including Diocletian's Palace, is a pedestrian-only zone, making walking the essential way to explore the city's heart. For longer distances within the city or to reach suburbs, the Promet Split bus network is efficient and affordable, with tickets available via an app or at local kiosks. If you are looking to visit nearby islands like Hvar, Brač, or Vis, the Split Ferry Port is the main hub for Jadrolinija ferries and high-speed catamarans. Uber and local taxis are widely available for point-to-point travel, though traffic in the summer can be heavy. For a scenic experience, many tourists rent bikes or electric scooters to ride along the Marjan Hill coastline. In 2026, the city remains very compact, so a combination of "foot power" for the old town and the occasional ferry for island hopping is the gold standard for visitors.
