♫ Friday, October 30th, 2009The nightlife is Croatia is fast-paced and exciting. There are all manner of nightspots to frequent, right from traditional Irish pubs to cocktail bars and rock clubs.

The Upper Town draws the glamorous crowd to places like Peperoncino and the Oliver Twist pub. The Lower Town provides night time entertainment in Bogoviceve, which has Skola and Bulldog; and the Branimir Centre, which has the Boom Bar.
Split is also a great city to party in, with summer nights spent in a Mediterranean style. Beach fronted hotspots like Diocletian’s Palace may a bit of a distance from town, but is worth the journey altogether. The Palace has a plethora of nightclubs, bars and pubs, all attracting the mercurial student populace. Some of the places to check out are Po Bota, Ghetto Club and Red Room. Another beach fronted extravaganza is the Bacvice complex, which contains a host of clubs and restaurants which overlook the glorious beaches in the area.
