Venice is not possible on a day trip from Split, for getting to Venice you will have to go to Istria, which is +5 hours from Split. - what about visiting Mostar?

A one day trip to Hvar is quite a bit of traveling as you would have to take car ferry (2.5 hours) to Stari grad and then travel with bus to town Hvar which in total is abot 3.5 - 4 hours traveling, you then have 3-4 hours in Hvar (which is not much) before last catamaran leaves back to Split, better option is to go with catamaran in the afternoon from Split, stay one night in Hvar and then return next day with catamaran. Regardless if you choose Split or Hvar you will for sure enjoy. - if you should choose to stay in Split, you could consider take the Buraline (small boat) to Trogir, which is a very beatiful UNESCO site.

My husband and I are planning a 1 week trip to Croatia and Montenegro in September. We are thinking about staying 2 nights in Split, in the Old Town. Can you recommend an itinerary of sights and activities in Split? Do you suggest taking a ferry out to spend the day in Hvar or is it better to stay a night in Hvar? Considering we only have 2 days in the area, do you recommend visiting one of the other islands instead of Hvar? We are going crazy trying to fit everything in but of course we realize we cannot see it all. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Melissa Dear Morten:

Best advice would be to browse the net and find a few hotels which have ok Rates, i can then give you my opinion on them. Best, Morten Hi Nicole,

Trip to Island, you mean organized or on your own? you can "make" your own day trip to either Island Brac or Island Hvar, Brac is 45 minutes, Hvar +2 Hours with the ferry, must admit didnt have time to update all ferry schedules so I cant tell you exactly how you could arrange it, if you do your own trip, you can do return trip for less then 100 kn, if you join organized trip if will be 300 - 400 kuna (my guess). Dubrovnik, well the city is very beatiful and the view on the drive along the coast is stunning, so if you have the time i would for sure recommend you doing a day trip to Dubrovnik. be aware that you have 4-5 hours drive in each direction so you will have to leave early to have time to see wall and other sights in Dubrovnik. Brgds, Morten Hi Nic, thanks :)

We fly out to Croatia in a week, to Split. staying at Hotel Sandra, do you know of it? Also wondered what a day trip to the islands cost approximately? and is it worth hiring a car to see Dubrovnik? Thanks so much. Will let everyone know my experiences here too. Nic Hi Morten,

I would recommend going in Spring e.g. April or May or of course in the summer months. brgds, Morten Hi Serhat,
