By Deanna Marie June 5th
We all know that there has been a lot of work recently done in downtown Wilmington. It's pretty cool to see the Wilmington Riverfront Named One Of The Best In The USA.

We can’t say it enough, the Wilmington Riverfront seems to get more and more beautiful every year. It’s gaining attention from travelers and out of towners with each passing season. And now, it has been named in Fodor’s 15 Best Riverwalks In The Country.

There has been a lot of work recently done in downtown Wilmington. It’s pretty cool to see the Wilmington Riverfront Named One Of The Best In The USA.

Fodor’s Travel

Fodor’sTravel covers the best of the best all over the world. They recently curated their list of the top 15 Riverfronts in the USA. You can see the FULL LIST here.  The focus here is on fine dining, open-air concerts, beautiful landscapes and more.

San Antonio, Chicago, Louisville and Cincinnati took the top 4 spots. Detroit, Breckenridge, Tampa Bay and Reno all fell in line. Chattanooga and then our very own Wilmington made the list. Greenville, South Carolina and Alexandria, Virginia also made the cut. Both of which aren’t that far of a trip from Delaware.

Chattanooga, Napa, Providence and Portland rounded out the list to complete the 15 best Riverfronts in the USA.

Wilmington was recognized for its many outdoor activities, including outdoor dining, art attractions, and shopping.

Wilmington Riverfront Restaurants

A few of our favorite local spots were highlighted as well including Constitution Yards Beer Garden, Iron Hill Brewery, Taco Grande and Riverwalk Mini Golf.

With a Riverfront that appeals to all ages, it’s easy to see why Wilmington made the cut on this respected list.

Not to mention, you can visit Old Swedes Church and the Rocks where Peter Minuit and the Kalmar Nyckel first landed.
