The Singapore River stretch comprises three sections: near the mouth is Boat Quay, a kilometre upstream is Clarke Quay and further beyond, Robertson Quay.

With its recent revamp, Clarke Quay today is one of the biggest entertainment zones of Singapore. It is taking centre-stage with many new operators with funky styles, daring attitudes and intriguing concepts to transform it into a world-class destination.
Now, a favourite with the tourists, Clarke Quay is known to be the party place for the beautiful, the hip and the insomniacs. However, it has still retained its historical value through its shophouses which each have their own colourful history. You are also spoiled for choice in Clarke Quay. With the many restaurants there, you’re up for an endless gastronomical feast. Indian, Chinese, Fusion and Spanish, are some of the options lined up for you along the riverside. Throw in one or two coffee houses and you will have your exercise regime cut out for you, walking up and down the quay.
