The City of Split

Split – 1,700 Years of History at Your Fingertips

Split is Croatia's second-largest city and the beating heart of Dalmatia. With nearly 1,700 years of recorded history, Split is not just a tourist destination – it is a living museum that breathes, grows and never sleeps. The old town within the walls of Diocletian's Palace is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and everyday life – markets, cafés, and traditional taverns – unfolds exactly where Roman soldiers and emperors once lived.

Emperor Diocletian had the palace built between 295 and 305 AD as his summer residence. Today those same walls house restaurants, bars, galleries and private apartments. Nowhere else in Europe will you find anything quite like it – an active, buzzing urban life inside Roman walls that are nearly two millennia old.

Why Split Is the Perfect Base for Motorcyclists

Split's geographical position is ideal for every rider: the sea to the west, mountains to the east, the Adriatic Highway running south and the motorway heading north. In less than 30 minutes from the city centre you can be on the winding mountain roads above the fortress of Klis or cruising along the coastal road toward Omiš.

That's exactly why Moto Andro chose Split as its home base. As passionate riders ourselves, we know that Split isn't just a departure point – it's an experience in its own right. Rent a motorcycle from Moto Andro and discover Split the right way: freely, swiftly, and without compromise.

What to See in Split Before Hitting the Road

Before setting off on your moto route, it's worth spending at least half a day in Split itself. Diocletian's Palace, the Peristyle square, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the Riva waterfront promenade and the colourful Pazar market – all of it can be experienced on foot or on a light scooter weaving through the narrow lanes of the Veli Varoš neighbourhood.

Moto Andro also offers vehicle delivery to your address in Split, so you don't have to worry about logistics at all. Simply book online and we'll take care of everything else.
