Time to Split
Split is Croatia’s second largest city and the main transport hub to the country’s popular islands in the Adriatic. Although overshadowed in popularity by its southern neighbor Dubrovnik, Split is a very beautiful city in its own right with a lovely old town.
During the war in the 90s it escaped any major fighting, although it does bear the odd distinction of being the only city in history to have been shelled by a military vessel bearing its own name (the Yugoslav light frigate Split). Thankfully, damage and casualties were light.
