The best areas
🏛️ Old Town
Inside and around Diocletian’s Palace – the bars are on your doorstep, but rooms are small and streets are busy.
🏘️ Varoš
The old quarter west of the Riva – quieter, but still a short walk to everything.
🏖️ Bačvice
Next to the beach and the beach bars – ideal for a party weekend.
🌅 Žnjan
Further east by the long beach – more space and newer apartments, a taxi from the Old Town.
🌳 Meje
Leafy and quiet below Marjan hill – for groups that want to sleep.
