Marjan Hill
Marjan
A pine-clad peninsula hill west of the Old Town; climb the steps to viewpoints overlooking the old town and islands, with clear beaches such as Kašjuni at its foot.
Marjan Hill is a Mediterranean pine-covered peninsular hill on the west side of Split. Its highest point, Telegrin, rises 178 m and is nicknamed the 'lungs of the city'. From the Varoš old quarter on the western edge of the Old Town, climb the steps for about 15 minutes to the Vidilica café viewpoint, which overlooks the red-tiled Old Town, the harbour and islands such as Brač and Šolta, especially beautiful at sunset. Continuing uphill to the summit, you will find a cross, a national flag and a medieval chapel. The loop road is good for cycling and running, and the south-facing Kašjuni and Bene beaches have clear water and few crowds. Free to visit; in summer, protect yourself from the sun and carry water.
