Notes on Split – The historic hub city of the Dalmatian Coast
Split is a city on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and it’s the second-largest city in the country after Zagreb.

Notes on Zagreb – Croatia’s cool capital
Croatia is popular for its islands and beaches, so the inland capital of Zagreb doesn’t get as much consideration from European holidaymakers. After all, it’s just another European city.
