YOUR DESTINATION, IN CONTEXT
Split has a published GLD City Score of 73/100, in the High range.
Split is both a living city inside Roman walls and a major gateway to the central Dalmatian islands. Its tourism intensity creates international visibility, while the local LGBTQ+ context remains more limited than in some larger European destinations.
