While the summer is slowing down and we find the hot heat more bearable, there has always been something special about September: it is one of the best months for outdoor markets around the world.

When it comes to souvenir shopping in Croatia, there may not be a better place than Split to find just what you’re looking for. From liquors to wines, art to jewelry, and everything in between, Split is the epitome of gift shopping.

We all know about the pains of traveling: the constant waiting, possible delays, language barriers, and utter exhaustion. In Split, being the port city that it is, we see a lot of transportation done by boats and ferries, taking our tourists to the islands of Hvar, Brač, and Šolta, and to cities such as Trogir and Dubrovnik (just to name a few). We know that timing is everything, and sometimes things don’t always go our way, so we are here to give you some things to do if you’re stuck waiting, wishing, hoping and dreaming for your next form of transportation to depart from the port of Split.
