Why Riva Promenade matters
The Riva is Split's living room. Palm trees, cafe terraces and the harbour backdrop make it the place to meet, linger and people-watch. In the evening families, couples and tourists stroll side by side while ferries glide in and out. It runs right along the southern wall of the old palace, so ancient stone and modern life meet in one view.
Talking points
- The promenade runs along the south wall of the palace.
- Evening is when locals traditionally stroll.
- Ferries to the islands depart nearby.
