With its fantastic climate and beautiful beaches, Split is a popular summer destination but has a great deal to offer at any time of year. Highlights of any visit to the city include a trip to Diocietian's Palace, a designated UNESCO heritage site. Beautifully preserved despite dating back to Roman times, the palace provides a fascinating glimpse into times gone by. Other highlights include St Duje's cathedral and the Getski vrtal - the only park within the city walls. The historic centre of the city is relatively small and easy to get around on foot but arranging car rental in Split from Sixt makes it easy to get to outlying attractions and beyond. More Roman history can be found at Salona, a pleasant 10-minute drive away. With a car rental from Split you can also escape the crowds and reach the stunning beaches of Makarska, a popular resort town, in less than an hour. You can also visit the Krka National Park which features numerous waterfalls and a historic monastery.
