The crawl starts inside Diocletian's Palace, literally inside a Roman ruin, at Charlie's Bar on Nesimićeva 4. By midnight the group walks ten minutes east to Bacvice Beach, where Vanilla Club and Tropic Club run back to back on the sand. It is one of the few pub crawl routes anywhere that genuinely improves as the night progresses rather than running out of steam after the third stop.
Split's nightlife runs inside two distinct zones. The Riva promenade and the alleys inside Diocletian's Palace handle the first half of the night: outdoor bars, wine and Karlovacko beer, tables that stay out until midnight. The second half moves to Bacvice beach, ten minutes south, where the clubs sit directly on the sand and stay open until 4am or later in summer.
Bar drinks inside the Palace run 25 to 40 HRK for a beer, 50 to 70 HRK for cocktails. Club entry at Bacvice venues runs 50 to 100 HRK on Fridays and Saturdays; some nights are free before midnight. A full evening from 9pm including three bar stops and club entry lands at 200 to 350 HRK, roughly €26 to €46. Prices verified April 2026.
Saturday from June to September. The Bacvice clubs fill to capacity and the beach itself becomes part of the social space between venues. Outside high season, Friday edges ahead: the Palace bars are quieter, the crowd is more local, and the clubs do not charge peak-season door prices. Avoid Sunday: most venues close by 1am.
The most popular pub crawl in Split, Tower visits three bars and ends at a nightclub. The crawl starts with free welcome shots and includes VIP entry to the club. Guides are local and keep the energy high: expect drinking games and crowd singalongs. The crawl runs nightly, but weekends are busiest.

The Tower Pub Crawl is 150 HRK, around €20 at current rates, and runs every night at 9:30pm from Poljana stare gimnazije 1. That covers three bars, VIP entry to a club, and free welcome shots. Charlie's Bar does two beers for 50 HRK until 10pm if you want to warm up beforehand. The beach clubs at Bacvice charge 40–50 HRK entry independently, so the crawl pricing holds up. Hostels start at €14 at Split Backpackers (rated 9.4), which puts the whole night, bed, crawl, a few extra drinks, under €50 without much effort.
Saturday. The Bacvice clubs are at full capacity, the beach is warm enough to sit on, and the Palace alleys have enough foot traffic that getting lost between bars is half the fun.
