About this tour
This session climbs Marjan Hill, the forested peninsula above Split, stop by stop from the shaded lower paths to the main viewpoint at the top. You see small chapels tucked among the pines on the way up, a clearing where the rooftops first come into view, and finally the whole peninsula spread out with the islands offshore. It is the clearest way to understand Split's shape from above.
We move up the paths stop by stop, checking the connection as the trees thin out, and take questions at each stop rather than only at the end. A short list of the viewpoints follows once we reach the top.
It suits anyone who wants Split's geography explained properly rather than glimpsed from the Riva. It also suits an early or late booking, when the light over the islands is at its best.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Split before heading out.
-
The lower paths 21 min
The camera follows the pine-shaded paths at the base of Marjan, and I point out the small chapels tucked among the trees along the way.
-
Mid-climb clearing 21 min
We stop at a clearing partway up, and I show the view opening up over Split's rooftops and harbour below.
-
The main viewpoint 21 min
At the top I turn the camera across the whole peninsula, the islands offshore and the mountains behind the city.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Split: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Crni rižot (black risotto) and Diocletian's Palace, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
