Documents you'll need

Navigating city driving
Split has coastal roads, narrow old-town lanes, and busy harbor routes.

Tolls, emissions zones, and charges

Parking your car in Split
Parking is busiest near the harbor and old town.
Street spaces fill quickly in peak months. Parking lots near the waterfront and ferry terminal are reliable. Hotels may offer limited parking, so check availability if staying close to the center.
Finding fuel or charging points

Gas stations are located along main coastal routes. Charging points are expanding, especially near shopping areas. Apps like PlugShare help you check real-time availability.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers move slowly in the center but quicker on open roads.
Expect tight turns near the old town and steady traffic along the coast. Scooters are common in summer, so stay alert when merging or turning. Give extra room in tourist hotspots.
