About Marjan Hill
Marjan is Split’s green lung, a hill of pine woods on the peninsula west of the city that locals call the holy hill, for its little chapels and sacred monuments. Climb straight up from the Riva and the Varoš steps to the Vidilica terrace for the classic view over the rooftops, then keep going to the summit for the islands. Paths and trim trails wind through the woods, and a new lookout tower at Sedlo, with a lift, offers fresh views. Or follow the shore down to the beaches below.
