Riva Harbor in Split is undeniably picturesque, offering a pleasant waterfront promenade that allows you to soak in the coastal beauty of the city. The harbor is bustling with activity, from the colorful boats bobbing in the clear waters to the charming cafes and shops that line the promenade. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll, people-watching, and taking in the stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. However, I found that the crowds can be quite overwhelming during peak hours, making it challenging to fully enjoy the experience. Additionally, the prices at some of the waterfront establishments can be on the higher side. Nevertheless, Riva Harbor remains a must-visit in Split, offering a taste of the city's maritime charm and vibrant atmosphere.

We stayed in Split for 3 nights on our trip before we went to Brac & Hvar. We loved the Riva promenade with all the hustle and bustle and great bars and restaurants. It was lovely sitting there enjoying the food and drink with great views over the harbour and old town. The is so much to do and see we will need to return as we didnt have enough time to do everything. We walked to The Marjan hills , all of the beaches as the weather was fabulous , the Bell tower , the old town and harbour and then the Diocletian palace and all the fabulous squares. Looking forward to returning to finish off seeing the rest of Split

Beautiful place to people watch, enjoy the scenery and atmosphere and generally relax. The restaurants across the front are varied and can suit any budget. There are various stalls selling all kinds of boat trips on the quayside and I'd be clear on what your going to get from them. The party sunset trips looked great for the youngsters and I'm sure many of them are fantastic. I wouldn't get too excited about 'The Blue Lagoon' though. We did a '3 Islands boat and Blue Lagoon' trip on The Rizana and it was bang average at best.
