From Plitvice We took a 4.5 hr bus to Split..We saw this amazing view! It looked like a giant waterfall on top of the mountain

On the way we passed by Zadar, another large city in Croatia

Zadar bus station

This 4.5 hrs bus journey was considered to be one of the shortest... We had another toilet break at a gas station near Sibenik, where Krka national park is

That was our bus, run by a Pltvicika-based bus company (hence you see the advertisement of Pltivice Lakes National Park on the bus

Finally we arrived at the Split Main Bus Station. It was a lot smaller than I expected

This is the plan for the old historic city of Split, the old city itself is not too big to explore on foot

If you don't understand a map, here is a better representation of the city... reminds me of the opening scene of the Game of the Thrones!

This is an old illustration of Split under Diocletian's time, basically the whole city was his palace

This is the modern day Split (taken from the ferry pier)

Walking from the bus station to the old city you could walk along the seafront or take the shortcut to go through the more busy streets inland

The seafront promenade 'RIVA' was renovated to make you feel like in any of the Mediterranean coastal town
