Robertson Quay - Stay

One of the most distinctive icon in Robertson Quay is the Alkaff Bridge. Built in 1997, as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority plan for a promenade, the steel truss Alkaff bridge improved pedestrian connectivity between the two river banks. Pacita Ahbad, a Filipino artist transformed the cold steel bridge into one that exudes cheer and happiness with 55 different colours. The Alkaff bridge is now the centrepiece of the promenade and Singapore’s first art bridge.

Roberston Quay - Parks and Gardens

Robertson Quay occupies roughly 50 hectares of Singapore River starting about 1.5 kilometres from the river mouth and ending near the Kim Seng Bridge. So, it is fair to say that this neighbourhood has a unique and tranquil ambience with the waterway and surrounding greenery. Fort Canning Park and The Istana are the best ones for you to visit. While history buffs who love nature will find themselves excited with Fort Canning Park, The Istana might attract different kinds of visitors. If you would like to see the monthly changing of guards ceremony at the Istana, then you have to go there! It is really interesting to see, especially when you are new in the country. The attractions include a floral display themed according to the celebratory events of the year and an oasis of light that occurs when the night falls. Meanwhile, Fort Canning Park is famous for its historical significance and the must-see ancient artefacts. Not to mention the expansive lawns and greenery which are really popular as celebratory venues and gatherings, including concerts, festivals, weddings, parties, and many others.
