Makarska Promenade is a wonderful place for a walk by the sea, especially in the evening. Take a seat in one of the many restaurants, cafes or pastry shops and enjoy the lively atmosphere by the sea.

Just a few steps away from the promenade, you will find the Main Square.

St. Mark’s Cathedral dominates the square. It was built in a baroque style and boasts a beautiful facade and interior. Mediterranean stone buildings with many souvenir shops, bars and restaurants encircle the square.

One of the interesting sights in Makarska is Franciscan Monastery, established in the 16th century. It houses a Malacological Museum which boasts a collection of shells from all over the world.

Makarska is sheltered with two small peninsulas. Saint Peter's Peninsula and Osejava, each of them proclaimed as park forest. Near the main beach you will find the Astronomical Observatory. It often hosts public viewings and educational events.

Skywalk Biokovo

On Biokovo, at 1228 meters above sea level, there is the most famous viewpoint in Croatia, Skywalk Biokovo. This horseshoe-shaped glass platform extends 12 meters from the cliff, offering breathtaking views. Accessible by mountain road, the Skywalk requires careful driving due to its narrow and winding path. We recommend the Skywalk Biokovo Tour from Makarska, with one of the experienced local drivers.
