A day of relaxation at Robertson Quay in Singapore

Robertson Quay is one of the three largest wharfs of Singapore. Located along the bank of the Singapore River, it has a different lifestyle compared to Clarke Quay located on the same riverside. If Clarke Quay is famous for its vibrant nightlife culture such as bars and discos, Robertson Quay is the place where tourists choose to chill.

Robertson Quay’s main attractions are its picturesque cafes, specialty restaurants and village-style squares. Besides, this is considered an ideal tourist destination for families with children as there are some big malls and relaxed activities on the river which they can see families of otters frolicking around the boat.

What to visit?

The Alkaff Bridge is a very unique bridge. Painted in a variety of vibrant colors, it is also known as the Art Bridge and was the first bridge in Singapore to be inspired by art. It’s great to soak into the scenery and snap some Insta-worthy photos!

Singapore Tyler Print Institute, a free display of paper art installations and printed materials. If you are into theatre, Theater Works, the theater company and Singapore Repertory Theatre, known for acclaimed classics like Shakespeare’s Hamlet, definitely will not let you down.

Lau Pat Sat Market is a very popular place where you get to enjoy delicious authentic hawker food. In Hokkien, Lau Pat Sat means “ancient market”. It was one of Singapore’s earliest wet marketplaces over 150 years ago, and was originally known as Telok Ayer Market in 1825.

If you are a fan of adventure, you should not miss G-Max Reverse Bungee. The normal bungee is a challenge but the reverse one is sure to make you howl. It is refreshing to have a bird’s eye view of the Singapore River from here. Of course, this is not a game for faint-hearted people.
