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

Petrol stations sit along main coastal routes. Charging points are expanding, especially near shopping areas. Apps like PlugShare help you check real-time availability.

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.
