The air smells of salt and celebration in downtown Tampa, and this time, it’s not just the usual breeze off the bay. The Tampa Riverwalk, a 2.6-mile stretch of charm and culture, has just been named the second-best riverwalk in the country by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Beating out 18 other iconic U.S. walkways, it stands tall in the shadow of only one—Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky. For a city that breathes nightlife, art, and ocean air, this win isn’t just a feather in Tampa’s cap—it’s a crown.

Nestled in the heart of the city, the Tampa Riverwalk has become the beating heart of downtown. With over 2 million visitors a year, it’s not just a path—it’s a parade of life. “The Tampa Riverwalk was created to connect the businesses, parks, and museums along the riverfront in Tampa, Florida,” notes USA Today, and boy, has it delivered. The Riverwalk stitches together more than just scenery; it binds the city’s soul, parks, and people into a living mosaic.
