Why Marjan Hill matters
A short walk from the old town lies a green peninsula that locals call the lungs of the city. Steps lead up through pines to a viewpoint over rooftops and islands. Quiet paths, small chapels and beaches below the hill make it a perfect half-day. It is where Split goes jogging, swimming and picnicking.
Talking points
- It rises just west of the old town.
- Paths lead to viewpoints and quiet beaches.
- Locals use it for running and Sunday strolls.
