Split in November: Off-Season Charm and What to Expect

International classical guitar festival held in early November (November 1–10), dates TBC, with recitals, workshops, and masterclasses across Split venues. It lands in low season, so accommodation is easier. Check which concerts are ticketed, some events can have limited seating.

Experimental sound art festival in early November (November 1–10), dates TBC, built around interactive installations, residencies, and workshops across multiple Split venues. It’s one of the city’s more adventurous autumn events. Expect venue-hopping and small audiences, so check schedules closely.

Late November (November 25–30), dates TBC, marks the start of Advent u Splitu as lights, food stalls, and concerts return to Prokurative and other squares. It kicks off the winter travel season. Weekends draw the biggest crowds, and weather can be wet, bring a waterproof layer.

Split’s city-wide Advent season runs from late November through early January (November 25 to January 10), dates TBC, centred on Prokurative, the Peristyle, and the Riva. Expect markets, concerts, and Saturday children’s events. Book hotels early for Christmas week and New Year.

On 2 November, Lovrinac Cemetery becomes the focus of a city-wide candle-lighting tradition, one of the most attended civic gatherings of the autumn. It is respectful and local, not staged for tourism. Arrive after 6 pm for the strongest atmosphere, and keep behaviour quiet and considerate on paths and near graves.

November is prime time for Split konobas to serve hearty Dalmatian dishes like peka, pašticada, and brudet with fewer reservations needed than in summer. It’s one of the best months to eat well on short notice. Service is unhurried, do not rush the bill. If you want peka, still book 24 hours ahead.

November walking on Marjan is quiet and accessible, with panoramic views of the Adriatic and offshore islands and low trail traffic. It is a strong alternative when island ferries reduce and beach facilities close. Choose clear, cold days for the sharpest visibility. Bring a waterproof jacket, rain is likely in this month.
