If you only have a few hours to spare in Split or want a quick and easy way of seeing some of the towns and areas nearby, then there are a number of guided tours of Split available. Take a look at the details below!
Tours of Split
To take in all the most important sights in the city, the Split Old Town and Diocletian Palace Walking Tour covers many of the most interesting places within the Diocletian’s Palace area of the city, which covers some amazingly historic gems.
A similar tour is the City Walking Tour with Game of Thrones Locations which obviously pays special attention to some of the key places that this famous TV show was filmed in the city. A must for fans!
Visiting Trogir is an easy and delightful option as the town is so close to Split. So why not include that as part of your tour on something like that Trogir Open Top Bus Trip + Free Split Walking Tour, which will see you spend the morning in Trogir before being returned to Split to join a walking tour of Diocletian’s Palace.
The 2-hour City Highlights Electric Tuk-Tuk Tour offers an enjoyable way of seeing some of the city’s highlights by using these small electric vehicles. It also includes a hop out at Diocletian’s Palace to see this gem.
If you want to see Split in a slightly more active way, there’s a 3-hour Split Bike Tour in which you can explore the Diocletian’s Palace area as well as covering a little further afield, including Marjan Hill. This tour comprises only small groups, so it never gets too crowded. (Electric bike options are available.)
Similarly active are tours that see you take to the sea! The 2.5-hour Illuminated Evening Guided Kayaking Tour doesn’t cover the main sights – of course – as you will be on the Adriatic, but it’s a great way of experiencing a relaxing side of the city.
Foodies will be keen to try out one of the food-based tours that are available. The Small Group Food Tour is a 1.5-hour that visits some iconic food-based locations in Split – including the main market and the fish market. You’ll also be able to try out a few delicacies at a local bakery, a chocolate store and more. For savouring gastro delights over a longer period of time, try the Historical & Gastro Treasures Tour with Green Market, which is a 3-hour that includes meat and cheese tastings at the market followed by a sit-down meal with a pasta or risotto main. A look at Split’s sights is also part of the tour.
Activities in and around Split
Split is so well located and offers and whole heap of interesting and exciting adventurous day trips right on its doorstep. From something adrenaline-filled such as white water rafting to joining a boat tour of local islands and sights, to exploring a historical sight inland. Here are some of the top tours in the region around Split.
The Cetina River, near the town of Omis, offers lots of activities for thrill-seekers. One of the best is white-water rafting, which you can experience (and then some!) on the Cetina River Rafting with Cliff Jumping Tour. A 4-6 hour activity, transportation from and back to Split is included. For something a bit more chilled in the same location, try the River Tubing on Cetina River Tour.
A classic tour from Split is visiting the Blue Lagoon, a stunningly beautiful part of the Adriatic that’s just off the coast of Drvenik Veli island. You’ll think you’re in paradise! Boat tours generally also include visiting some of the local islands, such as on the Blue Lagoon and 3 Islands Speedboat Tour.
Head to the hills of Podstrana on the Guided ATV Tour Gornja Podstrana & Horses Tour to get your fill of two types of horsepower – quad biking and real horse riding! The latter activity takes place in a stone quarry that was also used as a Game of Thrones filming location.
For more fun on quad bikes, the Dinara Nature Park ATV Quad Adventure Tour lets you explore this slice of nature in the Dalmatian hinterland.
