Riva Promenade, Split
Riva / Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda
A palm-lined promenade hugging the south wall of Diocletian's Palace, with cafés lined up along it, serving as Split's living room for strolling, boat-watching and sunsets.
Riva Promenade, Split is a seafront walkway outside the south wall of Diocletian's Palace, about 250 m long. Redone in 2007, it has white stone slabs and two rows of palm trees. On one side are the palace walls and café terraces; on the other are the ferry terminal and yachts. The palace's south gate in the basement leads directly here, making it suitable for morning coffee or evening sunsets. At the western end, Republic Square (Prokurative) is a three-sided arcaded square modelled on Venice, which often hosts summer concerts. It is free to visit all day, though coffee is pricey. The ferry terminal and long-distance bus station are a five-minute walk to the east.
