Evening golden hour in Split runs for roughly 44 minutes at the height of summer, 38 minutes around the March equinox and 47 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 304° NW in late June and toward 238° WSW in late December, a shift of about 67° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Split, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
