Itinerary

1. Port Tampa Bay Cruise Terminal - 2
The largest port in all of Florida is on your left as you make your way to the Tampa Riverwalk.
2. Sparkman Wharf
If you’re looking for family fun, music or good food, Sparkman Wharf will not disappoint!
3. WHV2+993
THE RIVER WALL. The medley comes together to create an abstract design that, at a distant glance, is intended to give the impression of actually being a river.
4. Cotanchobee Fort Brooke Park
Cotanchobee … where the river meets the big land!
5. Heroes Plaza
This memorial park stands in quiet and humble recognition of those brave souls who have given their lives in the name of freedom, safety and community service.
6. Tampa Riverwalk
HISTORIC MONUMENT TRAIL. As you continue walking along the riverwalk trail, you’re going to see some pretty spectacular marble and bronze statues scattered along the way.
7. Benchmark International Arena
We don’t really need to point this one out.. It's pretty obvious! Welcome to Amalie Arena, home to over 670,000 square feet of excitement!
8. The Sail Pavilion on the Riverwalk
An incredibly unique 360-degree open-air, waterfront bar! A beautiful place to take a break, sit for a moment and simply enjoy all the excitement and action that’s taking place along the Riverwalk!
9. 333 S Franklin St
What if instead of going for a swim, paddling your canoe or kayak or hopping on a boat, you went for a bike ride down the river instead? We'll tell you all about it and you can decide!
10. Tampa Convention Center
Not only is the building itself very impressive, but as you can probably see, the location is pretty fantastic as well offering guests a beautiful walk and lot’s of things to do.
11. University of South Florida Park on the Riverwalk
This park is dedicated to the contributions the university, better known as USF, makes to the city of Tampa Bay. We'll tell you a bit about it and the university itself.
12. Tampa Bay
There’s no denying, as we take in the spectacular skyline of downtown Tampa Bay, that this Riverwalk is breathtaking. But, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, Tampa’s natural beauty is pretty breathtaking, too!
13. MacDill Park on the Riverwalk
This park was established to honour MacDill Air Force Base’s contributions to Tampa. It may seem pretty small, but its intention is big! We'll tell you why.
14. WGWR+C2X
HILLSBOROUGH RIVER....the snaking, twisting, curvy waterway we’ve been walking alongside flows through Florida from Green Swamp right into Tampa Bay.
15. Rivergate Tower Garage
Although designed to resemble a lighthouse, it’s become affectionately known throughout Tampa as.... we'll tell you!
16. Kiley Gardens
The 4.5 acre garden originally showcased 5 separate pools, each with an island & palm tree.. how idyllic! Thanks to the “Friends of Kiley Gardens”, as of 2022, it’s being worked on to bring it more in line with the original vision.
17. The University of Tampa
The University of Tamps really is quite an interesting place with a very interesting history! If you want to explore the campus, you can cross the river at either of the bridges and take a look.
18. Plant Hall
Ghosts of Plant Hall. Spooky footsteps echoing up and down vacant corridors, spectres gliding seamlessly through walls, sightings of the shadowy figure of a distinguished gentleman in a brown suit, the stories of hauntings are plenty!
19. Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park
Stretching out to greet the Hillsborough River, like much of the Riverwalk, it uses Tampa’s breath-taking skyline as a dramatic backdrop to family fun and festivities.
20. Ybor City
Ybor, in historic downtown Tampa, just across the river from here, was established pretty much entirely by cigar manufacturers. We'll tell you about the Cuban influence still seen in this area today.
21. Water Works Park
Welcome to the latest addition to the Tampa River Walk as of 2022. Hey if it’s a bit hot out, you can always head over to that giant yellow bucket full of water ... that should keep you refreshed and cool!
22. Armature Works
Take a step back in time to 1910, when streetcars were a familiar sight on Tampa streets. Perhaps you can imagine a little of the community’s excitement as this building first opened its doors. We'll give you just a bit of it's history and evolution to today.
