Treat Yourself To A Wellness Retreat In Thailand

BY  Sibashree Feb 16, 2026

Split is a port city on the beautiful Adriatic Sea. It has delightful beaches in Croatia and a vibrant nightlife. However, it is the ancient heart of the city that attracts me the most.  It’s great that I reached Split in November and spent weeks getting to know the Dalmatian region and the city’s history.  The Mediterranean climate of Split is blissful, and that’s what makes it a year-round attraction. However, it is one of the best family vacation spots if you are planning something for the summer.  Also, if you are a history buff like me, you can plan an off-season trip and avoid the crowd.  As I chose November for my Split Croatia trip, I got the chance to soak up the never-ending stories.  Did you know that Split was the place where Emperor Diocletian retired from his throne? He was the only Roman emperor who voluntarily retired from his throne. Also, Split was the place where Julius Nepos, another Roman Emperor, was killed by his soldiers in 480 AD. Thus, Split saw the final nail in the coffin of the Western Roman Empire.  Nikola Tesla, the legendary inventor, studied in Split.  Split has been used as the backdrop of many Hollywood movies and TV series, including the magnanimous Game of Thrones. Split is the actual place where Daenerys kept her three dragons.  So, overall, Split has history, intrigue, natural abundance, and a happening nightlife. Here is more about the best things to do in Split Croatia, in 2026, and exploring the old and new Dalmatian regions.  How Many Days Are Enough To Explore Split?  If you only want to explore the city of Split, a budget of 2-4 days will be enough for you. However, Split opens your path to the vast Dalmatian coast area.  So, if you are planning to also explore the Dalmatian area, it will take at least 3-4 days more.  Then, spend a day or two getting to know about the local culture, food, and history. Overall, 6-7 days is a reasonable duration to spend in Split, Croatia.  Also, Split Croatia is just a ferry ride away from Dubrovnik. There are many exciting things to do in Dubrovnik.  Also, Dubrovnik is the Croatian gateway to the beautiful Kotor, Montenegro. If you want to explore all of it together, you will need at least 10-15 days. Having said that, let’s get into the discussion on the things to do in Split Croatia.  What Are The Best Things To Do In Split Croatia?  Do you want to get lost in the Old Town, or do you want to just eat, drink, and party? Split is the place that caters to all types of travelers.  However, if you want to try the best things do in Split Croatia as the locals do, here is your ultimate checklist.  1. Exploring The Dalmatian Coast And Even Beyond  Dubrovnik, Split, Sibenik, and Zadar. These are the four major cities that make the Dalmatian Coast what it is.  There are many smaller towns in between. However, these are the most populous and accessible. Split, again, has the highest population among them. Also, I used Split as the base for my journey on the Dalmatian Coast. The city airport has modern amenities, and it gets many connecting flights to other Dalmatian cities. So, this is the best way to enjoy a day, cherishing the Adriatic region. However, you can also choose Zagreb, the inland capital of Croatia, as your base, and then take a bus to Split and the Dalmatian coast.  2. Visiting Diocletian’s Palace  Diocletian, an enlightened Roman emperor, ruled from 284 to 305 AD. The seat of his voluntary retirement or abdication was his palace in Split.  Diocletian’s Palace is an intriguing combination of a military fortress, an imperial accommodation, a fortified town, and gardens.  You can still listen to the cry of the while marble palace for the retired emperor.  A DIY tour of the palace is free. However, you can also be a part of a small group tour and have an in-depth idea about the past of the palace and Split.  Also, if you want, you can plan a stay at the Diocletian’s Palace. However, there is always a large queue of tourists who want to stay here. So, book in advance.  Moreover, here are the most noteworthy spots I visited in the Diocletian’s Palace Complex.  • The Cybele Temple Or The Cathedral Treasury Split I came across the Cybele Temple or the Cathedral Treasury as I just entered the complex. This complex also functions as a museum.  Inside the museum, I saw some really intriguing Catholic relics and artifacts from the Roman era. So, the museum at the entrance sets the perfect mood for the things you can expect throughout the tour of the palace.  It is also the time when you will choose the tours you want to take. The amount you pay will depend on the number of tours you take.  • Saint Dominus Bell Tower Now, this part is a little difficult as I had to climb almost 200 steep steps to reach the top of the bell tower. The narrow passageways once again reminded me why I needed to take my fitness sessions more seriously.  Finally, after climbing upward through a tight space, the tower culminates in an “open-air metal staircase.”  The view from here is amazing.  • Saint Dominus Cathedral The Saint Dominus Cathedral is just below the cathedral. It is the second-oldest among the Catholic cathedrals that are still being used.  Furthermore, the Catholic iconography and the soaring dome inside really humbled me. The building may not be massive, but it has an impressive architecture.  • The Temple Of Jupiter I love Greco-Roman architecture and always look for historical things to do whenever I visit a new destination. So, I had to stop by the Temple of Jupiter.  Dedicated to the Greek God, Jupiter, the temple also tells the tales of human resilience. It was destroyed three times and then reconstructed.  The final version was built during 81-96, in the time of Emperor Domitian.  Furthermore, the granite sphinx outside the temple is headless and this is a 3000-year-old statue, which was beheaded in the 4th century by the enraged local Christians. After the temple visit, I took the Pusti Me Da Prodjem or the Let Me Pass alley. 3. Exploring The Old Town  The Diocletian’s Palace is in a fortified town. The alleys here still exude the old-world charm.  The only modern elements are the internet cafes, stray cats, and ice cream shops here. I especially loved walking the alleyways at night with the moonlight bathing the streets.  The activity was simple, but the sense of adventure and romance I had was matchless. It was the perfect TheLowDownUnder Travel vibe.  4. Walking The Riva The harbor and the Riva are just outside the Old Town and temple walls. This section is very wakable, and it is the place to explore the shops, local restaurants, and cafes.  You can call it the living room of the city, and it is the most prominent place in Split. Moreover, you can have all types of seafood and cuisine at the restaurants here.  I loved the English-only menus and authentic Croatian cuisine here. You can also try the seafood, fresh burgers, and pizzas.  Moreover, I loved watching people here and how they got involved in animated conversations after a dose of cigarettes, booze, or just good food.  Overall, with music playing in the background, Riva is all about camaraderie, great energy, and sharing vibes.  5. Eating, Drinking, And Partying In Split  Do you love authentic Croatian food? Try the top-rated restaurants in Split, such as Duje, DeListes or Konoba Matejusta.  Furthermore, I loved the cuttlefish risotto at DeListes and black truffle carbonara. The best thing about these restaurants is that the menus change regularly because the dishes are made using fresh and locally-sourced ingredients only.  Also, they always do not accept reservations, and you may have to pay only in cash.  Moreover, I came across many excellent bars in the Old Town. O’Hara’s Irish Pub was a discovery there, and a local lady advised me to pay a visit to Trogir.  Also, Marvlvs Libray Jazz Bar, Charlie’s Bar, and Crew Bar are some of the places to enjoy the party vibe of Croatia.  6. Visiting A Museum With such a rich culture, Split has no dearth of options when it comes to museums. I visited the following museums here.  • Mestrovic Gallery This museum celebrates Mestrovic, the famous Croatian artist and sculptor. It is a place to learn about his life and work.  • Split Ethnographic Museum It is a wonderful display of the Croatian home objects and clothing.  • Game Of Thrones Museum  This museum has the most authentic costumes and props used in the iconic TV series. Also, some parts of the TV series were shot here. 7. Getting Aerobic At Marjan Park The Marjan Park, with its network of forested trails, extends into the ocean. It was an experience to climb the Telegrin Peak, the highest point of the park.  From the peak, I loved the views in the surroundings. If you don’t want to walk, you can also take a bike to reach the peak.  In fact, you walk for four hours and still do not see every corner of the park. So, getting the rental immediately after reaching the park is the best thing you can do.  Moreover, I don’t want you to repeat the mistake I made. So, you must bring your swimsuit here as you will find the Kasjuni Beach, Plaza Jezinak, and Kupaliste Bene here. 8. A Day Trip In The Dalmatia Historic Region Split is more alluring for the quintessential Croatian experience because of its accessibility and central location.  Furthermore, you can start exploring the historic region of Dalmatia from Split. So, take a short bus ride and explore the following regions.  • Trogir I took the Flix bus and reached Trogir to soak in its medieval vibe. Time stands still here, and it feels like a journey to the fairyland.  • Kills Fortress Visiting the Kills Fortress feels nothing short of an investigation project. In Game of Thrones, it was the Meeren.  The views from the fortress are breathtaking.  • Solin And Salona  You can experience Solin, which is a modern city, and it surrounds Salona. Salona is the place where Emperor Diocletian was born.  Furthermore, it is an ancient Roman City, probably even older than Pompeii. It has a large cemetery, a large bathhouse, and a massive amphitheater.  Other places you can visit during the day trip are the Plitvice Lakes National Park, Krka National Park, or the Blue Cave. Even Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be a part of your Split Croatia itinerary.  9. Hopping A Ferry Croatia has more than a thousand islands. Some of them are unpopulated. However, you can explore the other islands by ferry.  I used the ferryhopper.com app to plan my ferry route and schedule the ride. I took a ticket for a visit to Hvar.  You can even take a ferry ride to Mediterranean islands such as Korkula and Vis.  However, when planning a ferry ride, you have to check the weather conditions first. Adriatic is unpredictable.  10. Making Good Memories In Split Croatia Split Croatia harbors most of the historical wonders and flows here. So, I listened to endless stories and learned many lessons here.  Furthermore, the Mediterranean climate here is very seductive, and in every nook of Split, there is a sense of discovery.  People are warm, the beaches are gorgeous, and the food is great.  So, plan a visit to this city of Roman history and culture soon!

Rome is unlike any other place. Here are some of the best things to do in Rome, as recommended by locals, whether this is your first or 20th visit. This is a city where narrow streets lead to stunning temples, the mound serves pasta, and there are endless opportunities to people-watch. There's a reason it's one of the most well-known cities in the world, but you can only truly appreciate its allure if you visit. Things To Do In Rome It’s important to have a plan because Rome is much larger than you may have imagined. Archaeological finds, famous art collections, and an abundance of culture make Rome special.  But don't worry, you still have plenty of time to enjoy an aperitif outside in the warm sunshine and digest your lunchtime pasta. Vatican Museums And Sistine Chapel Across 54 galleries, courtyards, and hallways, the Vatican Museums, established by Pope Julius II in the sixteenth century, are home to one of the greatest and most significant art collections in the world. The Sistine Chapel is home to thousands of prehistoric sculptures, Raphael pieces, and, of course, Michelangelo's frescoes. Get tickets to explore the Vatican Gardens, which are home to fountains, plants, and a recreation of the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto, as well as the Vatican Necropolis, which is beneath St. Peter's Basilica, if you have the time and can arrange well in advance. The Colosseum The Colosseum is a must-see when visiting Rome, of course. Rome's crown jewel is this magnificent building—you know, the kind of thing you see on postcards—and it's even more amazing in person than you could have imagined. It is the world's largest amphitheater, with a capacity of 80,000 people, and was constructed between 72 and 80 AD. This used to be much more peaceful, with local Romans coming to watch animal hunts or bloody gladiator fights. Because of the sometimes insane lines, we advise purchasing tickets in advance. However, the 360-degree view over the theater on the fifth level makes it well worth the climb. Castel Sant’Angelo Hadrian, the Roman Emperor, constructed the striking cylindrical fortification known as Castel Sant’Angelo, or “The Castle of Angels.”  It is on the banks of the Tiber River. The popes used it as a castle and fortress after it was first inaugurated as a mausoleum for Hadrian and his family. It even has a hidden escape route connecting the building to Vatican City. These days, it’s a museum featuring rooms with frescoes, a display of medieval weapons, and expansive views of Rome and the neighboring St. Peter’s Basilica.  Inside is a small cafe where you can have a drink or some snacks while taking in views of the Vatican. The Pantheon One of the best-preserved ancient structures is the Pantheon, which was constructed by Emperor Hadrian in 125 AD. With a diameter of 142 feet, its dome is the biggest in the entire globe. This is a must-see in Rome, and if you're visiting the city over Pentecost weekend, you're in for a treat. This tops every tourist's list of things to do in Rome. To commemorate the occasion, tons of rose petals are dropped from the oculus during Sunday Mass. It's quite a sight. The Pantheon is free to enter as of the time of publishing (May 2023), but there are plans to charge visitors an admission fee of €5. Galleria Borghese Cardinal Scipione Borghese showcased his extensive art collection under its roof.  Built in the 16th century, it is still one of the top museums in Rome.  The Cardinal was an ardent art collector. He was also a big fan of Caravaggio’s works and an early patron of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Highlights of the museum include Caravaggio’s Boy with a Basket of Fruit, Canova’s Paolina Bonaparte, and Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne. Take a stroll through the park after your visit to the “pleasure palace.” It was once a suburban villa submerged in the vast gardens of Villa Borghese. Domus Aurea The opulent Domus Aurea (Golden House) of Emperor Nero is a rare window into Rome’s underground world.  Also, it is one of the most magnificent homes of its era. It was earlier an opulent amusement venue close to the Colosseum between 64 and 68 AD, covering numerous historic hills in Rome. It was then devastated by the city’s destructive fire in 64 AD. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, guests can participate in guided tours. A virtual reality tour is also available, which helps recreate the villa’s former splendor. Read Also: Eternal Elegance: A Guide To The Best Hotels In Rome Capitoline Museums The Capitoline Museums are in three buildings on the trapezoidal Piazza del Campidoglio, which Michelangelo created in the sixteenth century.  Known as the world’s first public museums, they hold Renaissance marble statues and Roman bronzes, including the Capitoline Wolf, a symbol of Rome’s founding, and the Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. An underground tunnel through the Galleria Lapidaria connects the two buildings of the museum. Visitors can also enjoy a superb view of the Roman Forum.  Make time to spend a few hours perusing the collection. Also, don’t forget to pay a visit to Piazzale Caffarelli’s hidden garden, right behind the square. Gianicolo Rome, sometimes referred to as the “city of seven hills,” is renowned for its picturesque viewpoints and abundance of terraces that provide breathtaking views of the cityscape.  Gianicolo is the highest point in Rome with a panoramic view over the Eternal City.  It is worth the trek even though it isn’t technically one of the fabled hills. It is above the Trastevere neighborhood. Nearby is the magnificent Fontana dell’Acqua Paola. It featured in La Grande Bellezza’s opening scene. Its majesty will astound you. Testaccio Market The Testaccio neighborhood is the epicenter of Rome’s culinary traditions. So, it is a must-visit destination for foodies and daring diners alike. The region was once home to the biggest slaughterhouse in Europe.  Workers there typically got compensation for the leftover animal parts. They called it the “quinto quarto,” or fifth quarter. The Testaccio Market, a bright and modern structure, is full of enticing stalls. It serves everything from freshly made pasta and craft beers to tripe stews and artichoke sandwiches.  Trastevere: The Heart Of Roman Nightlife While Testaccio owns the culinary history, Trastevere owns the evening.  This medieval neighborhood, located just across the Tiber, is a labyrinth of ivy-clad lanes and cobblestones.  Start at the Piazza di Santa Maria, home to one of Rome's oldest churches, and let the sounds of street performers lead you into the backstreets.  Local favorites like Freni e Frizioni offer a vibrant aperitivo scene, while hole-in-the-wall spots serve supplì (fried rice balls) that define Roman comfort food. The Appian Way And Catacombs For those who want to escape the city bustle, the Via Appia Antica offers a hauntingly beautiful walk through history.  Known as the "Queen of Roads," this ancient highway is lined with towering pine trees and the ruins of Roman tombs.  Beneath the surface lie the Catacombs of San Callisto, a vast underground cemetery where early Christians were buried.  Cycling down the original Roman basalt stones on a Sunday, when the road is closed to traffic, is perhaps the most serene experience the city offers. Rome In 2026: The Jubilee Transformation If you are visiting now, you will notice the city is glowing with a renewed energy.  Rome has recently undergone massive renovations for the 2025-2026 Jubilee, resulting in cleaned monuments and improved pedestrian zones.  A highlight is the newly accessible Largo di Torre Argentina, where you can walk among the ruins of the temples where Julius Caesar was assassinated. It is now home to Rome’s most famous cat sanctuary. This blend of high-stakes history and quirky modern life is precisely why Rome remains eternal.

Aside from viewing the pictographs and petroglyphs, visitors can go hiking, camping, bird watching, as well as rock climbing. However, certain areas of the park are only accessible via guided tour, and self-guided activities (such as hiking) may require reservations. Also, only 70 people can enter the self-guided portion of the park at one time. To make the most of your time at the site, make your reservations well in advance. A Visit To Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo Cultural Center When you visit this museum, you will learn about more than 14,000 years of regional prehistory.   The museum’s permanent collection includes ancient and modern artifacts.  It also has art from Native American cultures in the Southwest and Mexico, such as wood carvings, textiles, and pottery.  After touring the museum, hike the nature trails that wind through 15 acres of gardens with 250 different types of native plants, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the Franklin Mountains.  Meeting Wildlife At El Paso Zoo  Explore the world’s wildlife at the El Paso Zoo, a sprawling 35-acre green space near Downtown El Paso.   The zoo is home to tigers, leopards, lions, giraffes, and other exotic animals from Africa, Asia, as well as the Americas.  See these incredible animals.  Then, visit family-friendly attractions like the African Star Train and the Hunt Family Desert Spring water feature before enjoying a delicious burger at one of the on-site eateries.  Watching A Performance At Plaza Theatre  At the historic Plaza Theatre, you can see famous musicians, classic films, magic shows, Broadway musicals, and much more.   The theatre has been a hub of entertainment in El Paso since it first opened its doors in 1930.  This is probably one of the best things to do in El Paso.   It is now one of the city’s top venues as well as the home of the Plaza Classic Film Festival, the world’s largest classic film festival.   More information about upcoming shows can be found on the theatre’s website.  A Visit To The United States Border Patrol Museum This one-of-a-kind museum traces the history of the United States Border Patrol from the Old West to the present.   The National Border Patrol Museum displays weapons, paintings, equipment, artifacts, photos, and even vehicles.   Admission is free, and guided tours can be scheduled ahead of time.  In Company Of Nature And History At El Paso Desert Botanical Gardens  The El Paso Desert Botanical Gardens are part of Keystone Heritage Park, which includes an archaeological site.  This archaeological site has a 4,500-year-old village, one of the oldest in the United States.   The park includes wetlands that provide habitat for up to 200 different bird species.

Here is what to know before you map out your visit.  Weather By Season  El Paso sits in the Chihuahuan Desert.  So summers (June through August) regularly climb past 95°F, which makes midday hikes at Franklin Mountains State Park or Hueco Tanks uncomfortable.  Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are the sweet spot.  Daytime highs in the 70s and 80s, cool evenings, and clear skies are ideal for the outdoor stops on this list.   Winter is mild by most standards, with daytime temperatures often in the 50s and 60s, though nights can dip close to freezing.  So, layers matter if you are planning an evening at the Plaza Theatre or a sunset visit to the botanical gardens.   Whatever the season, outdoor sites like Hueco Tanks and the Franklin Mountains trails are best tackled in the early morning, both for the light and for the temperature.  Getting Around The City  A car is by far the easiest way to see everything on this list.  The attractions range from downtown (Plaza Theatre, near the Mission Trail's southern end) to the northeast edge of the city (El Paso Zoo, Ascarate Park) and out to Hueco Tanks, which sits about 30 miles east of downtown with no public transit connection.   Sun Metro, the city's bus network, covers the urban core reasonably well and can get you between downtown sights and the zoo.  However, it won't reach Hueco Tanks or most of Franklin Mountains State Park's trailheads.   Rideshare services operate throughout the city and are a practical option for downtown-only itineraries.  However, for a full day covering the Mission Trail sites, the Desert Botanical Gardens at Keystone Heritage Park, and anything east of the city, renting a car remains the most flexible choice.   If Hueco Tanks is on your list, remember reservations are required, and only 70 people are allowed into the self-guided area at a time.  So, plan that stop for the start of your day.  Things To Do In El Paso: There Is Something For Every Type Of Traveler  El Paso offers something for everyone, whether your preference is to explore the trails or immerse yourself in history.   The El Paso Mission Trail and Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Sites are two locations where you can learn more about the region’s 5,000-year history.  Visit the Centennial Museum or the Magoffin Home State Historic Site to gain a deeper understanding of the area’s past.   Franklin Mountains State Park has some of the best trails for when the weather is right for outdoor activities.   Enjoy the local arts scene at the Plaza Theatre or the El Paso Museum of Art to cap off your trip.  Overall, it is perfect for a family tour or multigenerational trip where everyone enjoys different experiences.   If you want to know all the cool things to do in El Paso, we hope this article helps.   If you have thoughts to share or questions to ask, please leave a comment below.
