Tampa Riverwalk

The Riverwalk hugs the Hillsborough River from Armature Works food hall down past Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, the Tampa Museum of Art, the Glazer Children's Museum, and the Straz Center, ending near the aquarium and Sparkman Wharf. Rent a swan-shaped paddleboat or an electric Pirate Water Taxi, or just stroll it at sunset when the bridges light up in changing colors. It's free, flat, stroller-friendly, and the easiest way to see downtown without a car.

Why our team sends guests here

Start with coffee at Armature Works and walk south — the water taxi back means you never retrace your steps.
