Your week in Split
Training ends at 13:00 every day, which leaves the afternoons for Croatia’s second city: a Roman palace still lived in, a wooded hill above the sea, and islands on the horizon.
Getting here
- By air. Split Airport (SPU) is west of the city, near Kaštela, with direct flights from many European cities; there are more in spring and summer than in winter. An airport shuttle bus and taxis run to the city.
- Overland. Long-distance buses connect Split with Zagreb, Ljubljana and other cities, and trains run to Zagreb.
- By sea. Ferries link Split with Ancona in Italy, with more sailings in the warmer months. If you want the Erasmus+ green travel rate, check with your national agency whether your train-and-ferry journey qualifies.
The course takes place at our school, Poljička cesta 26A, Split. City buses and taxis reach it easily from the centre.

Where to stay
Accommodation is not part of the course fee; it is usually paid from the individual support in your Erasmus+ grant. Split has hotels, apartments and private rooms for every budget.
- Staying in or near the centre is practical: city buses and taxis reach the school; check the journey to Poljička cesta 26A when you book.
- In July and August, book early: it is the busiest time of the year.
Good to know
- Croatia uses the euro and is in the Schengen area.
- Cards are accepted almost everywhere; keep some cash for small cafés and markets.
- English is widely spoken in Split.
