Split Riva

This is a sea facings promenade in Split. Located closer to the Split castle and the harbour. Taking a walk along this walking path is a must do in Split. The stairs for Split view point in located on one end of this promenade. If you arrive by car, there's public car park next to this and it is very convenient to spend some time here.

Visiting Split felt like stepping into a living museum! The Riva Promenade offers romantic walks with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. Surrounded by palm trees and historic architecture, it’s hard not to feel enchanted. The city, founded in the 4th century, is built around the UNESCO-listed Diocletian's Palace, the world's best-preserved Roman monument. The blend of ancient architecture and vibrant modern life is truly unique.

The Promenade (Riva) in Split is one of the city’s most visited spots, and if you’re in Split, you’ll almost inevitably end up here. Lined with towering palm trees and facing the busy piers where tourist ships dock, it’s a lively and picturesque stretch—but also one that comes with its fair share of downsides. Expect crowds. Lots of them. The Riva is always bustling, which can make strolling a bit of a challenge, especially under the blazing Dalmatian sun. And while the waterfront views are pleasant, the promenade itself doesn’t offer much beyond a place to walk, sit, and people-watch. Pickpockets can be an issue, so stay aware. However, the real magic happens when you step away from the Riva and venture into Split’s Old Town. Here, you’ll find ancient Roman ruins, charming alleys, and even costumed Roman soldiers for an extra bit of fun. The deeper you go into the historic center, the richer the experience becomes. Final verdict? The Riva is a nice place for a quick stroll, but it’s not the highlight of Split. If you want history, beauty, and a truly memorable experience, step into the Old City. That’s where Split truly shines.

It is a great place to take a stroll and people watch. They have plenty of seats to just sit and watch the water, boats, and people walking by. They have small market stalls to check out, and you also have several places for a meal or just to get an ice cream. Recommend for a casual afternoon.

Second best atraction in Split: the Promenade! Very large walkway that is lively with people, music and all in all relaxing and enjoying. You can either walk along the walkway surrounded by palm trees, sit on the white benches overlooking the sea or sit in a cafe. All in all, you must visit it!

I love this city ❤️ you can find everything you like here! Something for everyone! City, culture, food, beer, Seaview, sightseeing... etc.
