What Travelers Say

I joined a Marjan hike group through Nomax and ended the day watching the sunset from Bačvice with new friends—such an easy way to meet people. We later shared a seafood dinner in the Old Town.

A Nomax day trip to Brač turned into a full island adventure—we rented bikes in Bol and visited Zlatni Rat together, then grabbed fresh grilled fish back in Split. Great crew and smooth planning via the app.

I found a small museum crawl group and we explored Muzej grada Splita and the Arheološki Muzej Salona, finishing with coffee on Marmontova—made lasting travel friends in just a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I meet other solo travelers in Split?

Popular meetup spots include the Riva promenade by the ferry port, the Peristyle inside Diocletian's Palace, and Bačvice beach for swims and sunset gatherings. Local markets like Pazar and cafes along Marmontova are also social hubs where Nomax groups often arrange to meet.

Is Split safe for solo travelers?

Yes—Split is generally safe, with friendly locals and a busy, well-lit Old Town; usual precautions apply in crowded areas such as the Riva and bus or ferry terminals. Keep an eye on belongings around popular tourist sites and use well-trafficked streets at night—for emergencies dial 112.

How can Nomax help me find travel companions in Split?

Nomax connects you with verified profiles and city-specific groups that plan activities like Marjan hikes, seafood dinners near Diocletian's Palace, and island day trips departing from the Riva. Use the app's city chat and event RSVPs to organize meetups at clear public points such as the ferry terminal or Bačvice beach.

Where can I find coworking spaces and free WiFi in Split?

Free WiFi is common in cafés along the Riva, on Marmontova street, and inside many hostels and hotels near the Old Town. For dedicated coworking, look for spaces and hubs clustered near the port and university area; otherwise the Old Town and waterfront cafés provide reliable connectivity for remote work.

What is the nightlife like in Split for solo travelers?

Nightlife ranges from casual bars on the Riva and wine bars in the Old Town to lively beach bars and clubs around Bačvice that host summer parties. Solo travelers can join Nomax meetups for a relaxed bar crawl on Marmontova or a group heading to a beach party, making it easy to socialize safely.

What day trips can I take from Split?

Easy day trips include island hops to Brač (Bol and the Zlatni Rat beach) and Hvar via catamaran, the UNESCO town of Trogir a short drive away, the archaeological site of Salona just outside town, and the waterfalls at Krka National Park. Ferries and regional buses depart regularly from Split's port and bus station for these excursions.

How much does it cost to travel in Split per day?

A mid-range traveler can expect to spend around €60–€120 per day, covering a comfortable guesthouse or mid-range hotel, meals at konobas and cafes, local buses, and occasional paid activities or island ferries. Costs rise in peak summer months and if you take private boat trips or upscale dining.

What cultural experiences should I not miss in Split?

Don't miss walking the Peristyle and cellars of Diocletian's Palace, visiting the Muzej grada Splita and the Arheološki Muzej Salona, and exploring Stara gradska vijećnica and the Etnografski muzej. Catch a klapa performance or local concert near the Riva, and shop for olive oil, cheeses and pršut at the Pazar market to taste Dalmatian culture.

How do I get around Split using public transport?

Split is served by an extensive local bus network operated from the main bus terminal; buses connect neighborhoods like Veli Varoš and Firule as well as surrounding towns. The ferry port on the Riva provides catamarans and car ferries to islands and nearby coastal cities, while the Old Town is compact and best explored on foot.
