Enjoy a calm waterfront break on Split's promenade with easy seating, sea views, and a classic couple-friendly pace.
Take in Split's green side with a gentle nature stop on Marjan, the city's best accessible escape for fresh air and photos.
Build in a low-effort swim or seaside rest at Bačvice, giving you the required beach time without leaving the city.
Sample Dalmatian flavors at a central konoba and keep meals close to the day's sightseeing for maximum comfort.

Old Town Timing
Do Diocletian's Palace and the Green Market early, then shift to the waterfront and beach after lunch when the pace naturally slows. This keeps the day comfortable, photogenic, and easier for limited walking.
Accessibility Check
Before entering any restaurant or site, confirm step-free access, accessible restrooms, and whether there is an elevator or ramp; Split's historic center can include uneven stone surfaces even when a place is otherwise convenient.
