Thoroughly recommended to get an idea of Tampa. Nice accessible wide walkway, with a pleasant atmosphere. Nice way to learn about the area, and see it for the first time Our only piece of feedback is that is could be nice to include a few more pieces of information about Tampa - eg what you’re walking near etc.

The Tampa Riverwalk doesn't resemble the Riverwalk in Chicago or San Antonio. But it certainly accomplishes the purpose it was built to do, enhance the image of Tamp as a beautiful and unique destination and highlight Tampa's waterfront. Stretching 2.6 miles along the Hillsborough River, the Tampa Riverwalk has been named one of the top 15 riverwalks in the United States. It extends along most of the downtown Tampa waterfront from the Channelside District on the eastern terminus to the mouth of the Hillsborough River and then north along the riverside to Tampa Heights, forming a continuous path that connects a multitude of parks, attractions, public spaces, hotels and restaurants. Established in 1989, it allows tourists to visit many of the city's notable points of interest, including the Tampa Bay History Center, Amalie Arena, the Tampa Convention Center, Rivergate Tower, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, Water Works Park and the Waterfront Arts District which includes the Tampa Museum of Art, Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Glazer Children's Museum and the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. The most spectacular view on the Tampa Riverwalk is the Sail, a 360-degree waterfront bar located near the Tampa Convention Center, which affords unparalleled views of the water and is a great place to watch the sunset.

We started at the beginning, at the water works park. Lots of restaurants there and just a very pleasant atmosphere. Found some interesting head statues of important and accomplished people in Tampa's history. Lots of joggers plus leashed dogs.

The hotel location is fabulous ! Great views , right on the river walk near University of Tampa! They have a nice pool with music playing all day . The staff is the absolute best! Very friendly , genuine and helpful! Above and beyond service, especially the housekeeping staff!! Never made you feel bad for requesting anything! I highly recommend this hotel and will continue coming back!

During a recent business trip, I needed a place to run. I saw the Riverwalk on Strava and the heat map proved promising. The entire riverwalk is 2.2 miles one way (4.4 miles with return). The entire segment is well lit, paved, and fully marked. There is a singular road crossing; otherwise, you go under the perpendicular roads. I was absolutely amazed that I saw no homeless people or panhandlers. During the early AM hours (05:00) there were at least a dozen other walkers, runners, and cyclists. If you need a safe place to run that is well marked, well-lit, and beautiful views...this is it. P.S. there were public water fountains, but in early March they were disabled. Bring your own water.

A nice riverside walk through central Tampa, lots of art, places to stop for a drink, and great views. We visited in the late morning, early afternoon and stopped for lunch at Uléle restaurant. A nice way to explore downtownTampa on foot.
