The Riva Promenade is Split's iconic waterfront stretching along the southern wall of Diocletian's Palace on the Adriatic seafront. It is the social heart of the city, lined with palm trees, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Locals and tourists gather here for the daily ritual of coffee drinking, people-watching, and enjoying sunsets over the sea. The wide promenade paved with white marble provides a perfect Mediterranean atmosphere at any time of day. Boats to nearby islands depart from here, making it an ideal starting point for exploring both the palace and the surrounding archipelago. Evening brings live music and a vibrant dining scene along the waterfront
