Getting there

Walking

If you are in the Old Town of Split, head towards the Riva by walking through the narrow streets. Look for the signs pointing towards the waterfront. You will exit through the Golden Gate (Zlatna vrata) of Diocletian's Palace. Once you step out, continue straight until you reach the waterfront promenade. The Riva will be directly in front of you. Enjoy the beautiful views of the harbor!

Public Transport

If you are further away, you can take a bus to the city center. Find the nearest bus station and catch a bus heading towards 'Splitska Riva' or 'Gradska Luka.' Once you arrive at the main bus station in the city center (autobusni kolodvor), exit and walk towards the waterfront. The Riva is just a short walk from there, following the promenade along the water.

Bicycle

For those who prefer cycling, rent a bike from one of the many rental shops around Split. Start at the Marjan Hill area and cycle downhill towards the city. Follow the signs directing you to the waterfront. You can park your bike near the Riva and enjoy the scenic views of the coastline.
