Travel insurance is so important as it will help you with emergencies and unexpected costs on your trip. Make sure that you declare any pre-existing health conditions so that you are covered for those. Check your cover for accidents and medical care and also lost baggage or getting things stolen. Remember to report as soon as something goes wrong on your trip because some travel insurance companies require you to report something that you want to claim for within 24 hours. Read the fine print carefully when you sign up. I always use ad recommend World Nomads. You can get a free quote here:

One thought on “Things to do in Split Croatia”

  1. I stayed at the Lux hotel in Split for 2 weeks this year and the experience was good.

    The nightlife was awesome but can’t go in more details ha-ha.

    Anyway, what I was really excited about was the Croatian culture and the people. Not sure if that was the case with you but all the people were so kind. Maybe they only wanted to sell me something 😛

    All in all, Split is a very beautiful city and everyone coming to Croatia should visit Split at least for a day.

    Thank you for such a great article and good luck 🙂
