A variety of Byzantine, Gothic & - at the end of the square - a Habsberg influenced building, create a range of photo opportunities. The Piazza Heritage Hotel stands out not only because of its colorful facade but also its new Viennese architecture calling on the Habsberg empire, regardless of the Piazza dating from 1906. The Clock Tower, Town Hall, Statue of Marko Marulic are all on this beautiful square, along with some bars & restaurants & retail shops. A definite MUST VISIT spot.

Riva Harbor

Reviewed By Temer2 - Horley, United Kingdom

Split harbour is absolutely beautiful - the stunning turquoise Adriatic sea on one side, a fabulous promenade and restaurants and cafes all along. We only had a day in Split but could easily have spent all the time just wandering along Riva Harbour... We didn't though as Split is such a beautiful place we wanted to see as much as possible. Relaxing and enjoyable location.

Green Market

Reviewed By MPMKM - Ridgeland, United States

This is a fantastic market. Surrounded by butcher shops the green market has all of the fresh veg and fruits from the surrounding countryside along with artisan made olive oil, cheese and honey. Almost all speak English. I am staying here a month and for a weeks worth of food, fruit veg and meat (beef, chicken and pork) I paid roughly $12.00. That's for 6 days of dinners and lunches. AMAZING.
