About

Developed in stages and completed in the 2010s, the Riverwalk turned an industrial river edge into a public space. It runs beneath the bridges past cafés, floating gardens and terraces. It is also the starting point for many of the popular architecture boat tours.

Best time to go: Stroll it on a warm evening, stopping at a riverside café, and watch the architecture boats glide past.
