Guesthouse Imperator
A great place located just next to Split’s Old Town with walking access to Croatia’s unique heritage, including Diocletian’s Palace and St. Domnius Cathedral. Visitors will also find excellent shopping and dining nearby.
Emilana’s Gelato
“Gelateria Emiliana is a small ice cream shop selling Italian-style gelato, both denser and richer than the usual run-of-the-mill ice cream on sale in the generic ice cream shops. The interior is pretty, the location even more so, but what really sets Emiliana apart is its palette of tastes dominated by fresh and nuanced tastes of their gelato. Whether you are in for something fruity, something nutty or just or classic chocolate,, Gelateria Emiliana has it all. Don’t forget to drop by and give them a taste while you roam the mazy streets of Split’s Old Town.”
Bokeria Kitchen & Wine Restaurant
“Evoking by name the spirit of Barcelona’s world famous La Boqueria market, Bokeria is one of the first establishments in the city that had combined the experience of a restaurant together with that of a wine-bar. It boasts of a spectacular interior design that makes it one of the most recognizable places in the city. The food at offer is seasonal, best described as Bokeria’s own modern take on the pan-Mediterranean cuisine. The extensive wine lists promises a good time even if you just visit the place for some fine Dalmatian wine and tapas.”
