Tampa Riverwalk Is Ranked 2nd Best in the U.S.

It starts with a whisper along the Hillsborough River, a voice carried by the warm Floridian breeze. That whisper has turned into a roar of recognition: the Tampa Riverwalk has been ranked second-best in the entire United States by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Stretching its graceful fingers along 2.6 miles of waterfront, the Tampa Riverwalk connects the soul of the city — the vibrant Tampa Museum of Art, the iconic Straz Center for the Performing Arts, and the bustling Armature Works, all anchored by glimmering waterfront parks that hum with life and laughter. Here, each step pulls you deeper into a world where art, culture, and nature are sewn together by invisible threads.
