Coffee culture has reached unimaginable heigts in Split in terms of how much time people in Split are capable to spend on "coffee drinking". Real "coffee drinkers" in Split will never have a coffee while they are walking, known also as the "coffee to go", because that is "against" their nature and culture. Not just a "coffee culture" is important here but also the things which you will have a chance to find out from the real source, from the local. Local food, restaurants, pastry shops, bakeries, bars, wines, beaches, places to visit, tour operators, local shops, trip plans or who knows what else your local could know! Even if you just want to listen what secrets your local will reveal you about the city or you just want to ask your own questions about everything what interests you, be convinced that most of that information you will hardly find elswhere. On the other hand locals of Split are also often opened for the discussions as well, moreover most of them "live" for it so be careful about starting the discussion with your locals otherwise, if they don`t have plans for later you could spend all of your stay in Split on that Coffee with a local. On the coffee with a local you will be able to find out what stays behind words "pomalo", "fjaka", "uvik kontra", "ajmo na kavu" ("let`s go for a coffee"), "ćut`ćemo se za kavu" ("we will arrange a coffee") as well as what Split`s unique "state of mind" is and maybe you will get the answer on always actual question made by foreigns visiting Split: why so many people are sitting in the coffee bars on their working hours? After your "coffee with a local" your local will continue with their daily routine such as: visiti the fishmarket, green market, a walk through the city, shopping, another coffee or maybe, but just maybe for a work while you will probably leave with a smile knowing that now you know much more about Split than any other "avarage" tourist!
