Downtown Riverside is an oasis of
authenticity. It’s a real place, with real
history, real culture, real cuisine, and
real discoveries. Stroll, shop, dine, and
be pampered. Riverside is the urban
getaway right next door.
“In a sea of southern
California sameness,
Riverside is the genuine
article – 150 years of history
concentrated in a walkable,
livable downtown.”
