Free and highly recommended as a morning hike/walk - bring hat, water, and allow for 3 hours! We did in sandals and didn't have problems. There is also electric bus by the stairs at Info office to bring people up.

Recommend path:

1. Stairs to the first viewing platform ( best view is slightly up the pathway to St Nikole - where you are above the tree lines looking back at the old town).
2. Walk up the path to St Nikole
3. Walk up the stairs from St Nikole follow the signs to Zoo (shaded path and have more to see vs the alternative which is a 30 min bake in the sun uphills)
4. At the top of stairs you get a good view of the ocean and continue on the path past playgrounds follow the signs for view point
5. You will walk up some stairs to a gorgeous view point (Marjan Park Viewpoint - Telegrin) with Croatia flag and a big cross.
6. Continue the path toward the cross to the WW2 bunker/fort (this is a little stone path a bit hard to walk got to watch your steps - optional to skip and follow the car road)
7. Continue to the right and up the hill to the Observation Deck (at dead-end) - this is super windy and up a few flights of stairs. Not for those with great of heights. View is great!
8. Back-track down the hill and turn right to walk down to Sunset Viewpoint
9. From Sunset Viewpoint - walk down the stone path to St Jere - a super cute church and walk up to the stairs to Karepica's Tower (locked) but the view from there looking back at the church is great!
10. We then walked back, but this time along the cliff side of park following sign back to St Nikole - 30 min downhill on stone path mostly exposed to sun!. Then from St Nikole trace the rest of the steps back to first viewing platform and down the stairs.

Total trip - 3 hrs on a slow pace. Enjoy!
