Split: Marjan Park Electric Bike Tour & City Views

Summary

Electric biking in Split with hilltop views and seaside stops

You’ll ride an electric bike through Split’s winding streets with a local guide, cruise up Marjan Park for sea views and pine-scented air, pause at Bene Beach to watch daily life unfold, and stand above Kasuni Bay with all of Split spread out beneath you. It’s not just sightseeing—it’s feeling part of this city for a few hours.

What’s the experience like?

"You sure you know how to use the turbo?" our guide Luka grinned at me before we set off from the shop in Split. I laughed, maybe a little too confidently, and fiddled with the buttons on my electric bike. The city was already buzzing that morning—locals balancing coffee cups as they hurried along the Riva Promenade, sea air mixing with the smell of bakeries opening up. We got a quick rundown on safety (I always forget which brake is which) and then rolled out into the maze of old streets, Luka pointing out where his grandma used to buy sardines near the market.

The climb up Marjan Park was easier than I expected—thank you, turbo mode—but I still felt my heart going as we passed pine trees and patches of wildflowers. The sun flickered through the branches, and somewhere I caught a whiff of rosemary. We stopped at Bene Beach for a breather; there were kids splashing in the shallows and an old man doing slow laps like he had all day. Luka told us about Saint Jeronimus Church hidden nearby, carved right into the rock. It was quieter than I thought it’d be up there—just us, some birds, and that wide blue Adriatic stretching out below.

At the top by Kasuni Bay, Luka let us catch our breath again (I pretended not to be winded). The view really does something to you—terracotta roofs tumbling down to meet the sea, ferries coming and going like tiny toys. On Matejuska Pier later, we watched fishermen untangling nets while teenagers argued over who’d jump in first. My hands smelled faintly of pine from gripping the handlebars. I kept thinking how Split feels both ancient and alive all at once—you know?
