Peristil is Split's main square, the former entry hall in Diocletian's Palace.
There are six columns on both the east and west sides, and four more at the south end, which mark the monumental entrance to the Vestibul. The Vestibul is a cavernous open dome above the ground floor passageway; a foyer that leads you into the emperor's residential quarters. The Vestibul provides great acoustics allowing "klapa" bands to perform traditional a capella songs there in the mornings.
St. Dominus Cathedral is on Peristil, and from Peristil you should take the stairs to Podrumi (The Diocletian Palace Substructures) - also Game of Thrones filming location.

Riva is one of the most famous places in Split, and you should definitely take a walk on Riva. Enjoy the sun and if you want to act like locals do - drink some coffee on the edge of Riva, on the small wall right next to the sea and enjoy the view ("kava na zidiću"). And... be sure to wear sunglasses - in Split everyone wears sunglasess :)

One of the most popular sand beach with lots of beach bars. Also visit Bačvice (right next to it). If you visit one of these you would see some people playing with a small ball at the beach. They are in the sea (at least their feet are) but they are in the shallow sand and they are playing PICIGIN - our famous "sport".
