About

Amazing atmosphere guaranteed :))

Solo traveler? No problem. Our cozy, social vibe makes it easy to meet people from day one — whether you’re hanging out on the balcony, joining dinner plans or just chatting in the common room.

We’re only 5 minutes from Bačvice beach, the Old Town, ferry port and main bus/train station, so everything important is within walking distance — from morning swims to late night bars and parties. The hostel is located on the second floor (no elevator).

We run regular activities like free/tip-based walking tours, workshops, group dinners, pub crawls and spontaneous hangouts — and if you feel like exploring further, you can book trips with us to Krka waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon, island hopping and more.

Come experience Split with us and become part of the Split Backpackers family.

Please note the building does not have an elevator.

Summary of traveller reviews

Split Backpackers in Split offers a fantastic location, close to the bus station and old town. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the hostel is noted for its cleanliness. While the common areas and kitchen facilities are compact, and bathroom wait times can occur, it's a great choice for solo travellers and those seeking a social atmosphere.
