Split is a scenic and generally affordable place to stay, offering a mix of Roman ruins, seaside activities, and island access. English is widely spoken, making it easy for travelers to get around. Internet quality is good overall, especially in cafes and coworking spaces outside the Old Town, although Airbnb speeds can vary. The cost of living is manageable, especially when living more like a local. Most travelers agree the city is pleasant and compact, ideal for stays of a few weeks to a few months. It’s popular during late summer through early fall, with September and early October being considered the best time to visit due to milder crowds and good weather. Split is also noted as a great place for dates and making short-term connections with other nomads or backpackers, though the city can start to feel small quickly. Some mention the lack of a strong digital nomad infrastructure—there isn’t a central cowork space or vibrant community scene. Outside the Old Town, the city loses some of its charm, with areas described as run-down. While it’s not a hub for long-term remote work lifestyles yet, Split serves well for a scenic and productive short-term stay.

I could see the warmer months being very fun here (I was here in October and many activities were closed, although you could still get in a few beach days as the weather is turning to fall). If you based yourself out of Split you could do the islands every weekend. However, I found no nomad community, the Facebook page is mostly for apartment rentals, there isn't a vibey co-work in the city center either.

Beautiful old town and waterfront, but as soon as you leave them it becomes a post-Communist dump. I've had very good internet in airbnbs, and it's quite affordable if you live like a local.

Spent 3 weeks in Split during August/September timeframe and stayed on the edge of Old Town. I personally feel that Split would have been best end of September and into October when things calm down a bit. Easy to get around speaking english everywhere, and plenty to do in such a beautiful place. Met a lot of excellent nomads and backpackers while there. Food and Drinks are about standard price for Europe (which apparently is due to inflation and the approaching Euro integration). There are a few coffee shops that have enough space to work from and cowork spaces outside of Old Town which had download speeds ranging from 100mbps (cafe) and up. My apartment was a bit slower at 25-30 download tops, but that was manageable. I could see myself spending much longer in Split, but will say when it comes to knowing the locals and nomads, it feels like a small town very quickly. I will say I agree with a previous reviewer, it is an amazing place to take someone on a date... highly recommend.

Was in Split for September and early october. I went to spend time bouldering over the sea, swimming and having pleasant walks around Marjan Park, which i did. For that it was perfect. The city is also a great place for a nice date and to meet a handful of other nomads. End of summer i feel is probably the best time unless you really want the tourists and the busy nights

Split is a very pleasant town. You have Roman ruins, clear Adriatic waters, ferries to Hvar and other islands. Places to stay are affordable, food is medium priced. English is pretty commonly spoken. You can explore the town in about two days, but it seems a very pleasant place to live (I’ve been here 2 weeks & plan to stay for 2 months).

I spent a month in Split and really enjoyed it. The weather was excellent for 90% of my time there (September) and the city is beautiful, with easy access to much of the Adriatic portion of Croatia and the islands. It's not a huge city, which means that it's very walkable, but I did start getting a little bored and there's not a ton of restaurants that aren't overpriced and touristy. I'd say that it's a great base to explore Croatia, but that if you're planning on staying for more than a month or so it can start to feel a little slow. Also not as cheap as inland Croatia (e.g., Zagreb), but that shouldn't come as a surprise given its location and tourist volume. I had quality wifi in my apartment that was reliable and effective, and in general the city infrastructure is pretty strong. Definitely would recommend, especially during the warmer months.

Split is NOT lgbt friendly, it can be pretty dangerous at times.

Wonderful place, drinking a spritz while sitting on 2000 years olds stones is a wonderful experience.
Lot's of tourist, very crowded place in the summer.

Split is extremely affordable for European standards with fast internet and plenty of cafés with wifi. A beautiful coastal city with stunning architecture like Diocletian’s Palace and close proximity to the pine trees of Marjan. Split will suit digital nomads who need fast internet, enjoy different scenery, history, architecture and European culture.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
