The easiest and most affordable way to get from Bol Brac Island to Split is by ferry. Be mindful that during the busy season in the summer, there are six transports per day, but the rest of the year there are far less. Once in Split, take advantage of the boat tours, relax on the beach, visit Diocletian’s Palace, or hike up Marjan Hill. The best time to take advantage of the weather while crowds are still thin is September and October.

Luckily for you, the journey from Bol, on Brac Island, to Split is like going from paradise to paradise.
A high-speed ferry ride is your best choice for making the connection. It’s affordable, convenient, and extremely relaxing. Get your camera ready because you will want to capture the beauty of the Croatian coastline as you pull into port.
Do you like architecture? Maybe you’re a history buff? Perhaps you’re the adventurous type and like to hike for hours. Split offers a little bit of everything, so you will never be bored.
As you journey across the city, you’ll run into ancient ruins, open-air flea markets, towering cathedrals, and cobblestoned streets.
Exploring the city is one intriguing aspect of Split, but equally as captivating is the turquoise-blue water right out of a postcard. If you make your way here in July and August, the water will be warm enough to dip your toes in and take a summertime swim.
Split isn’t without its fair share of activities and attractions.
If you’re interested in learning about the Romans’ influence on this area, the historic Diocletian’s Palace is a sight. This third-century landmark commemorates the Roman emperor Diocletian and makes up half the old town.
Afterward, climb Marjan Hill, a 314-step journey to its highest point, where you can capture Split’s astonishing beauty from high above.
Strolling along the picture-perfect Riva Promenade is a relaxing and surprisingly entertaining thing to do. You can take in the lively activity flowing from the bars and restaurants that line the promenade.
Krka National Park is under an hour's drive from Split. Its iconic waterfalls have become a famous image for Croatia. Go hiking and admire the powerful cascades, and then once you’ve built up a sweat, go for a refreshing swim in one of the turquoise pools.
Klis Fortress is over 2,000 years old and is now home to several museums scattered throughout its rooms. You’ll find artifacts, information on battles, and the Game of Thrones scenes filmed here.
