The Singapore Riverfront is a vibrant stretch along the Singapore River where you can get the best of both worlds: historic charm and modern vibes. It stretches through various districts, offering picturesque views of the river, iconic landmarks, and a blend of old and new architecture.
What to do at the Riverfront
Go for a walk
The Riverfront Walk is perfect place to wander. You’ll get to enjoy cool views of the river, the skyline, and some really neat old and new buildings. It’s great for a casual day out or a romantic evening walk.
Hop on a River Cruise
For a different perspective, hop on a river cruise. It’s a fun way to see the city from the water and learn a bit about its history with some interesting commentary.
Grab a Bite or a Drink
The Riverfront is packed with places to eat and drink. Whether you’re in the mood for some street food, a fancy meal, or just a chill coffee, you’ve got options. Boat Quay and Clarke Quay are especially great for finding a spot with a view and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
Chill at Robertson Quay
If you’re looking for something a bit more laid-back, Robertson Quay is the spot. It’s a quieter area with cozy cafes and chic boutiques. Perfect for a some relaxing time.
Clarke Quay
This place is buzzing with energy! The old warehouses are now full of trendy bars, restaurants, and clubs. There’s always something happening here, from street performers to cool events.

Marina Bay
As the Singapore River opens up into Marina Bay, the Riverfront Walk continues into this iconic district. The Marina Bay area is home to some of Singapore’s most famous landmarks. The waterfront promenade here offers stunning views, especially at night when the area is beautifully lit.
