On the ground, including accommodation and everyday spending, allow about £45 a day at the budget end, around £85 a day mid-range and £245+ for high-end travel. A seven-night mid-range trip, including estimated return travel from London, is best treated as a planning range of £600 to £830 per person. Return travel is modelled at about £70 off-peak, £100 typically and £165 in busy UK travel periods. These are planning estimates rather than live quotes. Available accommodation spans cheap & cheerful, simple, comfortable, premium and luxury. The quiz prices the highest available tier that fits your selected minimum and total budget.

What kind of holiday is Split?

Split is strongest for city breaks, beaches and coastal time, history and culture, and nightlife. The main settings are coastal scenery and urban settings, and the pace is balanced.

How flexible is it? Split can credibly be planned with a relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to buzzing evenings and mixed to hotspot crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has balanced days, lively evenings and a popular setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
