Galija
12 Tončićeva ul.pizza and sea food, used to be best pizza in the city
Go here, take čevapi (chevapi) with onion and chese OR ajvar - pepper source. One of the oldest street food in these parts. It has I think turkish/bosnian roots, but its been here for so long it became our local food. Its meat - minced veal shaped like small sticks, I think they call them baby veal fingers :) Best for hungover :)

Забронировать до поездки
No need to book in advance for museums

Обычаи и культура
You can take photo anywhere
I personally am not aware of a single place in Split and Croatia where you cannot take photos
Обычаи и культура
Do not possess illegal substances
Croatian laws are serious about illegal substances including marihuana.
Обычаи и культура
Drinking alcohol on the streets - not recommended
- you may get fine if you drink in the streets (but probably you will not get fined if you move from the main streets)
Обычаи и культура
Smoking is allowed in almost all bars inside
- be ready if go inside a bar that smoking is probably allowed
Обычаи и культура
Smoking is not allowed in restaurants
- but it is in most of the bars
Обычаи и культура
Always have cash if you go for bars & clubs
- most places including restaurants will accept credit cards
- bars and clubs not really
Обычаи и культура
Bars and restaurants are different concepts
Restaurants - eating is a must, no smoking, seated on the tables, quiet atmosphere, booking is advisable
Bars - no food, just drinking, smoking allowed, load music, tables provided but also standing around is ok, no booking possible
Обычаи и культура
Driving bikes - be careful and be visible
No strict laws about these, BUT regular drivers in Split are not 100% used to see bikes on the road yet. I always:
- drive a bike on a pedestrian lane/zone rather then on roads (especially fast roads)
- do not drive a bicycle drunk (you can be fined)
- always safety first (wear helmets and have proper visibility)
