Splitska je Riva svoj današnji oblik počela dobivati prije dva stoljeća, kada su Francuzi u vrijeme Napoleona vladali i ovim krajevima, rukom maršala Marmonta.
Do danas, ta je šetnica postala gradski dnevni boravak, najpopularniji i najvažniji javni prostor Splita. U međuvremenu je nekoliko puta promijenjen njen izgled, ali uvijek je bila obilježena spektakularnom scenografijom koju pružaju južna fasada Dioklecijanove palače, s ulazom u Podrume, pa kasnije podignute zgrade zapadno od Palače, potom franjevački samostan sa crkvom Svetog Frane, te palača Bajamonti Dešković i Lučka kapetanija na istočnom kraju.
Današnja Riva je pješački raj, kojega krasi neprekinuti niz kafića i restorana, idealno mjesto za ispijanje jutarnje ili popodnevne kave, ili za večernji izlazak i druženje s prijateljima uz piće.
To je pozornica splitskog gradskog života, na njoj se održavaju brojna kulturna i zabavna događanja, na njoj je Split dočekivao svoje sportaše nakon bezbroj velikih uspjeha, poput Gorana Ivaniševića, igrača Hajduka i Jugoplastike, olimpijaca... Riva je i politički forum, na njoj se desetljećima oslikavaju političke prilike u kojima Split obstoji kroz masovne skupove. Naravno, svoje najljepše ruho Riva dobija za Sudamje, svetkovine posvećene Svetom Dujmu, zaštitniku Splita.

Cycling along the sea was therapeutic and engaging. We enjoyed the sight of the great buildings and numerous restaurants a entertaining spots at the place. We resided at a comfortable and beautiful accommodation that offered awesome services and had exceptional facilities that are welcoming. The people at Riva are hospitable and have a rich cultural heritage. We also has evening and morning walks that we loved and took several pictures on different places and landmarks. The sunset views were magical to experience at the place.

I was honoured to join the locals in Sudamja festivals dedicated to Saint Dujam. The services offered at the restaurants are splendid and the staff were friendly ready to serve.We enjoyed the cool breeze and the sight of the sea as we cycled along the sea. In the afternoons, my friends and i went for boat riding and the feeling was exceptional. It was awesome learning the rich history of the Promenade.

I really enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise from the spot. Facing the adriatic sea, the palm trees offer a nice shade to just relax and enjoy the view. My friends and I really enjoyed the yacht ride. The place is quite busy during summer but I loved its serenity and beauty.
