What you gain in February

  • Budget-best prices: the cheapest month alongside January for accommodation
  • 5 sunshine hours: slightly more light than January — occasional pleasant afternoons on the Riva
  • Diocletian's Palace vaults and Peristyle entirely explorable without a queue

What you sacrifice

  • Limited dining and bar options: many seasonal restaurants still closed
  • 11°C max: cool enough to make the Riva and beaches purely scenic rather than usable
  • Little happening: Croatia Carnival exists but Split's version is minimal
