Marjan viewpoint

Viewpoints · Europe › Croatia › Split › Marjan viewpoint

Worth the climb for this. The whole of Split is laid out below you - the old town under its terracotta roofs, the Riva curving round to the harbour, and the islands sitting out across the water. There was a cruise ship in when I was up there, which gives you the scale of the place better than anything else does.

I went up twice, once in the evening and once in the middle of the day, and it was worth both. Pines and cypresses frame the view so you get a slightly different picture depending on where along the path you stop.

It is a proper set of steps up rather than a stroll, so take water in summer. Would go back!
