8 Reasons You Should Visit Split; Croatia's Coolest Student City
If you're planning on going interrailing this summer or even just looking for a week away, you should seriously consider Split. Split is a city on the southern tip of Croatia that boasts crystal blue water, water sports galore and of course, deadly nightlife.
It's one of the most overlooked cities for Irish student's interrailing, and we're here to stop that. If you're looking for an international location full of like-minded travellers, Split should be ticked off your list.
Here's just a few reason why we love it so.
