The 6-day plan, rearranged for 2 days: the best-ranked places stay, and each day keeps to one part of town.
From average weather, 2021 to 2025: warm, sunny days with little rain score highest (the air stands in for the sea, which is not included). Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A late Roman palace built for an emperor, whose walls and halls have become the center of Split, with homes, shops and lanes inside. Wander its streets and cellars early, before the heat and the crowds.
Go when Morning, before the heat and the crowds.
Local tip It is not a museum but a living quarter, so be quiet in the lanes. Walk down into the cellars, which are cool even on a hot day.
The polished limestone main street of the old town, running between the two gates and lined with stone houses and small side lanes. Come early, before the day visitors arrive.
Go when Morning, before the day groups arrive.
Local tip The stone is polished smooth and slick, especially when wet. Duck into a side lane when it gets crowded, since the quiet streets are a few steps away.
Black risotto, dark with cuttlefish ink, with a plate of local greens. A coastal classic and a cool lunch in the shade.
Local tip Black risotto stains the teeth, so order it with a smile.
The hill above Dubrovnik, with a wide view over the old town, the islands and the coast. A cable car climbs it, but check ahead on whether it is running, and walk down if you are fit. A museum in the fort tells of the siege of the city in 1991.
Go when Morning, when the air is clear and the light is soft.
Local tip The cable car may be closed in strong wind, and the road up is steep. Check ahead, bring a layer for the breeze and go down on foot only if you are used to steep paths.
A wooded island a short boat ride from the old port, with a botanical garden, the ruins of a monastery and peacocks that wander free. A good escape from the heat, and the boats run seasonally, so check ahead.
Go when Midday, to escape the heat of the town.
Local tip The last boat back leaves early, so check the timetable before you cross. Bring water, because there is little to buy, and take care on the rocks if you swim.
Stone walls that run all the way round the old town, with towers and views over red roofs and the sea. The walk is exposed and the steps are steep, so go late in the day, bring water and check ahead on timed entry.
Go when Late afternoon, when the heat eases and the light turns gold (about 8:26 PM).
Local tip There is almost no shade on the walk, so bring water and a hat. Tickets are often timed in summer, so check ahead.
Fresh fish grilled whole, with olive oil, garlic and blitva (chard with potatoes), at a table near the water.
Local tip Fish is sold by weight, so ask before you order.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A flat plain of stone walls, olive groves and vineyards, laid out by Greek settlers more than two thousand years ago and still farmed. Walk or cycle a short stretch between the walls.
Go when Morning, when the plain is cool and quiet.
Local tip The paths between the walls are flat and shaded in patches. It is farmland, so keep to the tracks and leave gates as you find them.
A cathedral on the main square of Hvar Town, beside the stone harbor, in a town of Venetian houses and narrow lanes. Arrive by morning boat and begin here, when the square is quiet.
Go when Morning, before the harbor wakes up.
Local tip The stone square is the heart of the town and is quiet early. Check ahead on opening for the cathedral.
A plate of fresh seafood or a simple pasta, eaten on the quay under a sunshade.
Local tip The harbor tables are for visitors, so walk a street back for the places locals use.
A fortress high above Hvar Town, with a steep path up and a wide view of the harbor and the islands beyond. Go before the heat, bring water and check ahead on opening.
Go when Morning, before the sun is high.
Local tip The climb is steep and open to the sun. Bring water, wear good shoes and check ahead on opening.
A traditional Hvar fish stew with potatoes and white wine, slow-cooked and rich. A classic of the island.
Local tip Ask if the stew is made fresh that day.
