Split is great for sleeping in a sleeping bag or even pitching a tent. You can go from the center over the west coast and pass through the park "Zvoncac". After that just keep going along the coast until you come to the beach "Obojena svjetlost" and just after the main beach you come to some stairs that go up and down along the coast. After that there is a flat concrete surface by a small shed. The place is perfectly safe for sleeping bags, maybe you can even pitch a tent there but you have to leave early in the morning because (elderly) locals always come there in the morning. They are however quite friendly usually. :) Note that there is no shelter on this place.

If you want even more privacy you can try and find a place anywhere in the Marjan hill/forrest. You can take a bus from sv.

Split is the largest Dalmatian city and the second-largest urban centre in Croatia.

Hitchhiking out

South-East towards Dubrovnik

To hitch a ride out of Split direction Dubrovnik take bus #25 direction Stobrec. The road Magistrala leads all the way out of town, so the best option is just to stand on the side, watch out for a good spot and wait until somebody stops.

In 2009 14 teams took the same way during the Viva con Agua hitchhike race at the same time and stood every 100m sticking out their thumbs.Worked out, so there shouldn't be any problems in getting out of town =)

You can also go on Bus #60 to "Omis" (City Bus). Omis is a small town 18 km out of Split on the road to dubrovnik. Get out at the last station, up a small hill after omis. There is a good spot there, cars coming up the hill and out of the town go quite slow.

  • I took bus 60 tıll the end of the lıne. There are some facılıtıes and shade. Waıtıng tıme 20 mıutes. Good Luck. May 2012. Len

North towards Rijeka and Zagreb

Take a bus to Dugopolje (about 2 euros) and ask to be dropped near the toll station from there you can get a ride to any town north and even to Slovenia or Italy. There's a sign saying "No Autostop" but it's very unlikely that you will have any problem. Bus number 35 (August 2014) should bring you close to it if you need a number but others might work as well.

Public Transport

Bus cost in Split is 12 Kuna per Ride (July 2011) The drivers will only let you enter on the front door and there are now controllors on the stations so you can forget about blackriding.

Sleeping

There are older people at the bus station who will ask you if you need a room, they usually cost about 200-300kn, hostels are cheaper than that.

Stealth camping

Split is great for sleeping in a sleeping bag or even pitching a tent. You can go from the center over the west coast and pass through the park "Zvoncac". After that just keep going along the coast until you come to the beach "Obojena svjetlost" and just after the main beach you come to some stairs that go up and down along the coast. After that there is a flat concrete surface by a small shed. The place is perfectly safe for sleeping bags, maybe you can even pitch a tent there but you have to leave early in the morning because (elderly) locals always come there in the morning. They are however quite friendly usually. :) Note that there is no shelter on this place. Also it's nice if you climb a bit up, there is really nice place on the "roof" of small building here. I slept there few days and it was fantastic!

If you want even more privacy you can try and find a place anywhere in the Marjan hill/forrest. You can take a bus from sv. Franje church at the end of Riva to station "Institut" or "Bene" (the last stop), and then see from there. There should be good spots near the sea or up in the forrest. sholky 3 August 2012


Busking

There is few nice places to perform something on the streets. Possibly you'll meet here other local buskers doing music and so on. I had not any troubles here with law. So find your place and try, it's possible.
