Split in March — Full Picture
March in Split is the start of spring and a quiet, good-value window before the season ramps up. It averages 14°C/7°C with brightening days and moderate rain.
The city wakes up: more sunshine, café terraces fill on warm afternoons, and from late March the islands start adding ferry sailings as the season approaches. It's an excellent month for the palace, Marjan Hill, and day trips to Trogir or Krka without crowds, and prices are still low.
The sea remains too cold to swim (around 14°C), so this is sightseeing rather than beach time. Weather is changeable — sunny one day, showery and breezy the next — so pack layers and an umbrella.
If Easter falls in late March, expect a short bump in prices and visitors. Overall, March suits travelers who want spring light, low prices, and an uncrowded Roman city.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Early spring — around 14°C/7°C, warming and brighter. Layers: a light jacket and sweater, with a cardigan for cool evenings. An umbrella for spring showers. The sea is still too cold to swim.
