Best Area To Stay in Split for Nightlife
If you really want to enjoy Split's nightlife, you should look into staying in the Old Town or Bacvice. The first one is a bit more relaxed, filled with bars and cultural offerings. On the other hand, the second is your regular Mediterranean beach party area, with some of the most popular and craziest nightclubs running along its shore. However, be aware that there are no hostels in Bacvice, only hotels, which makes it a more expensive option.
