Split
Croatia · Eastern Europe & Central Asia
Split blends Mediterranean lifestyle, dramatic coastline, and a compact historic center that makes it appealing for high-income English speakers seeking a relaxed urban base with good seasonal tourism infrastructure. The city’s amenities—waterfront dining, marinas, reliable domestic transport and an international airport—support an upscale lifestyle while overall living costs remain well below those of the most expensive global cities; Navigator Data indicates a moderate cost tier for relocation planning.
Practically, the moderate cost tier means you can expect comfortable rental options, private services, and dining out to be attainable without the price pressure of top-tier global hubs. Safety is generally high across central and residential neighborhoods; normal urban awareness and standard precautions are advised. Healthcare access is solid in the city with private clinics commonly used by expats; consider international insurance for comprehensive coverage.
Split suits professionals and retirees who prioritize sea access, outdoor living, a walkable historic core and a quieter pace outside peak tourist months. It is less ideal for those needing a nonstop global finance scene or very large international schooling options; for specialized services, Zagreb and other regional centers are reachable when required.
