There are many coworking spaces in Split, as the city itself has become one of the favourite locations of digital nomads in Croatia.

When to go on a working vacation in Split?

Whenever! The weather is almost always nice and there are a lot of things to see and do in Split. The only thing you might find somewhat difficult is finding a place to stay or a quiet beach area during the summer, when the city is full of tourists.

You can enjoy the beautiful beaches and sea all year round. Because of the mild Mediterranean climate, the air and sea temperatures can be pleasant even in winter. It is no surprise to see people bathing and doing water sports any time of the year, particularly on the Bačvice beach, where the sea is shallow and therefore warmer. So much so that the locals traditionally play a game called picigin there on the New Year’s day!

What to do in Split?

If you are an art fan, you must go to the Meštrović Gallery. The unique museum holds hundreds of works of the most prominent Croatian sculptor, Ivan Meštrović, in a building he designed himself!

Before or after the cultural sites, have a meal at one of the many restaurants or go for drinks at bars filled with lively music. The parties are at their peak during the summer, especially around the  famous Ultra Europe Music Festival that is held in Split in the beginning of July, but they hardly ever stop.
