Split

Split is a scenic and generally affordable place to stay, offering a mix of Roman ruins, seaside activities, and island access. English is widely spoken, making it easy for travelers to get around. Internet quality is good overall, especially in cafes and coworking spaces outside the Old Town, although Airbnb speeds can vary. The cost of living is manageable, especially when living more like a local. Most travelers agree the city is pleasant and compact, ideal for stays of a few weeks to a few months. It’s popular during late summer through early fall, with September and early October being considered the best time to visit due to milder crowds and good weather. Split is also noted as a great place for dates and making short-term connections with other nomads or backpackers, though the city can start to feel small quickly. Some mention the lack of a strong digital nomad infrastructure—there isn’t a central cowork space or vibrant community scene. Outside the Old Town, the city loses some of its charm, with areas described as run-down. While it’s not a hub for long-term remote work lifestyles yet, Split serves well for a scenic and productive short-term stay.
