- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €35 - €45. Take the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Meter or fixed fare around 35 to 45 EUR daytime. Refuse offers from drivers approaching you inside the terminal, who typically quote double. Ride-hail apps like Bolt are usually cheaper from the airport.
- Best alternative: Airport shuttle bus line 37 operated by Promet Split, from outside the terminal to the main bus station near the port and old town. (€5)
- Buy your ticket at a kiosk or via the official app before boarding. Validate it in the yellow validator inside the bus as soon as you get on. Tickets bought on the bus are more expensive. Day passes are available for trips across multiple zones. Fine without a valid ticket: €53.
- Round up or leave 5 to 10 percent in restaurants when service is good. Service is sometimes included in the bill. Tip taxi drivers and tour guides a little if happy, but tipping is not expected in casual spots.
- No typical cover charge in Split. Check the menu for service included before assuming. Ask for a menu with prices before ordering at Diocletian's Palace area cafes, where terrace seating can add a hefty surcharge not always shown upfront.
- Always choose to be charged in EUR and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks. Independent machines on the Riva and near the ferry port often advertise no fee but add a charge to your transaction.
