Walking Manus (Lucac) in Split
An older hillside neighborhood immediately above the center, close enough to reach the old town and Pazar market on foot despite the climb.
Why Manus (Lucac) sits inside a walkable city
Manus (Lucac) inherits the broader walkability conditions of Split, Croatia. Citywide factors that shape what walking here actually feels like:
- Diocletian's Palace and the old town are an entirely pedestrianized network of narrow stone streets with no through traffic
- The Riva, Split's palm-lined waterfront promenade, runs along the harbor and serves as the city's main walking spine
- Promenades extend west to the Sustipan and around the forested Marjan hill, giving walkable car-free access to trails and beaches
- Promet Split's compact bus network links the historic center to outer neighborhoods, the airport, and the main ferry port and rail station, which sit side by side at the harbor

Getting around from Manus (Lucac)
Promet Split operates the city and suburban bus network. Split is also served by the Split rail station, the main ferry port (Jadrolinija and other operators), and intercity coaches, all clustered at the harbor next to the old town.
What can pull walkability down in Split
- Split has no tram or metro, so all public transit relies on buses that can be slow and crowded, especially during the heavy summer tourist season
- Outside the flat coastal core the terrain is steep and the outer suburbs are spread out and car-dependent, with long climbs and fewer continuous sidewalks
