"A city known for its nearly 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, proximity to four of Croatia's eight national parks, and a car-free old town perfect for exploring on foot. It boasts a picturesque waterfront promenade, cobblestone streets with charming cafés, boutique shops, and historic landmarks like Diocletian's Palace." - Taryn White

"A stone’s throw from downtown Split, Marjan is a hilltop park about the same size asNew York City’s Central Park. Known as “the lungs of the city,” it’s the ideal urban escape, offering places to run, bike, swim, and even rock-climb. A serene path through fragrant pine forests leads up to Telegrin Peak, revealing charming chapels and sweeping sea views. Along the park’s waterfront, there are also several popular beaches, Kašjuni Cove being the favorite."

An absolute must-do while in Split if you’re able to walk up hundreds of steps! Loved the gorgeous trees while hiking up to the top of this mountain! Early June was quite hot, however there’s plenty of shade from the trees and a fountain for fresh water at the chapel (half way point) and there’s a lovely beach on the other side to cool you down.
There seemed to be a road for those wanting to drive up as well. summer

What a place. Very steep slopes and many, many steps leading up. We were very presently surprised by a ditto train at the peak waiting to take people down to the old town. We hopped on that for the decent, saved a fair walk.
If able, it's wonderful lots of nature, plants, and birds to see topped off with a stunning view at the top.plenty of stop breaks and places in the shade. Take a bottle of water with you.

A park worth to walk. Olease reserve drinking water and some snacks. Dista nces are not far, but You'll have up and downhill and it's demanding in heat of the sun. There are some water posts (at the old zoo etc.) and the water ia drinkable. There was a modern sightseeing tower and it was free to visit up! And there is a lift You can use, so it' s accessible by wheelchair and baby trolleys! Worth to visit!

Gorgeous place on the peninsula absolutely teeming with butterflies, birds and insects, wild flowers and views over the city - watch out for mountain bikers and don't fall into a spiky bush like I did.

Marjan Park is an ecological reserve, reached through a long and winding staircase. On the way is the Church of Saint Nicholas, from the 13th century. A trail leads to the peninsula, with its woods, from which there are beautiful views of the sea, with the islands of Solta, Brac, and Hvar clearly visible. This pleasant area is also home to Split's best beaches and has some fabulous viewpoints.

Without a doubt, it is one of the most special places in Split. If you want to connect with nature and exercise, this is the perfect place. I love it and always go for a walk there.

Easy walk from Old Town Split (20 minutes) and great views. Plenty of cats around as well, so bring treats, lol!
