Marjan Hill Stairs

The Marjan Hill Stairs are your gateway to one of Split’s most beloved natural escapes, offering a scenic ascent from the bustling city center to the tranquil heights of Marjan Hill. Starting just steps from the famous Riva waterfront, these well-maintained stone steps wind their way up through fragrant pine forests, leading visitors to a series of breathtaking lookout points with panoramic views over Split, the Adriatic Sea, and the distant islands.

Climbing the Marjan Hill Stairs is a favorite activity for both locals and travelers, whether you’re seeking a morning workout, a peaceful stroll, or simply the best vantage point for photos of the city’s red-tiled roofs and Diocletian’s Palace. Along the way, you’ll find benches for resting and soaking in the scenery, as well as shaded spots perfect for escaping the midday sun.

At the top, the highest peak—Telegrin—reaches 178 meters and rewards climbers with a sweeping vista that captures the essence of Split’s unique blend of urban life and natural beauty. Marjan Hill is also dotted with historic chapels, recreational trails, and picnic areas, making it an ideal destination for a half-day adventure.

There are no admission fees or set opening hours for the Marjan Hill Stairs, and the route is accessible year-round. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or a casual explorer, the Marjan Hill Stairs offer a memorable and invigorating way to experience Split’s iconic green oasis.
