About LGBTQ+ Split
Croatia introduced same-sex life partnerships in 2014 and expanded adoption rights in 2022. Split, the Dalmatian coast's largest city, built around the Roman walls of Diocletian's Palace, has a small but growing scene and a generally relaxed attitude, though discretion is still wise late at night.
X Club, which opened in 2023, is the city's first official gay club, running Friday and Saturday nights.
