The best bars and cafés Split

Away from the hustle and bustle of the historic city and yet within the city walls, this café-bar is located in an alleyway where Marcvs Marvlvs, father of Croatian literature (15th century) was born. A somewhat mythical place that also serves as a library, with books everywhere and a soothing atmosphere. We order hot or cold drinks, with or without alcohol (wine by the glass, local and international beers, cocktails), we chat with friends, we read, we come to the show. Regularly, reading evenings alternate with concerts of acoustic music.

A Croatian version of a pub with a good atmosphere, smiling and dynamic staff. At the counter, you will be served home-made beers, which are brewed locally (drafts and bottles). The liqueurs and syrups are homemade, concocted from traditional ingredients and the cocktails are inventive. The restaurant also offers a snack bar, brunches (Dalmatian or international), cold and hot non-alcoholic drinks.

In the store corner, among the Daltonist products to take away, spirits, beers and cocktail recipes.

With its leather armchairs and teak wood decoration, the café-bar is rather frequented by locals, expats and well-informed tourists. If you feel like speaking French in Split, you shouldn't have too much trouble meeting French speakers at Teak. But for news, it's in English. Many newspapers and magazines are available inside. The terrace has been extended on the other side of the square. Free wifi. Nice place for a cold drink, with or without alcohol, at any time of the day.

From the neighborhood of Veli Varoš, you can reach the first platform of Mount Marjan. This is where you will find this café-restaurant, which makes you want to stop and enjoy the most beautiful panoramic view of the city and the sea. So, if there is room, don't miss it! You can take a break here, watch the incessant ballet of the ferries in rotation in the port, sip a cold or hot drink (tea, coffee, chocolate), with or without alcohol, a glass of wine, a beer or a cocktail, in moderation. Small restoration less amazing than the sight!

This is the café-bar of the Backpakers hostel, near the sea promenade (riva). A must for those who love a festive aperitif. You can meet up with friends or travellers, and there's always a good deal to be found in the mass of flyers delivered to the place. The bar offers Internet connection, a locker for backpacks, hence the name, and second-hand books. During the day, it is also a snack bar, where you can have breakfast, order a pizza with a beer, an iced tea or a small Pipi, that sweet soda megapopular in Split.

Much less concreted than the east coast (around Bačvice beach), the Sustipan district is after the ACI marina. The beach bar at the Jadran Hotel is open to all. While consuming here, you can enjoy the sunbeds (for a fee). Located next to a swimming area, it presents itself as a comfortable place to sunbathe, swim and relax with a drink. The atmosphere is pleasant. Good cakes, cocktails but no food. The place is very popular in the early evening, at sunset. Good selection of music.

2 as the couple formed by Ivana and Marko, two photographers who travelled the world to film weddings. In love with coffee(kava in Croatian), they went in search of multiple flavors.
