Best time to take a boat is around 6-6:30 pm. You can enjoy the view in day light as well as light lights. Its awesome in night too.

With a great variety of restaurants and bars, this is the place to be at night, go out, and have some fun, while overlooking the beautiful canal, in the middle of downtown Singapore!

It's a bit touristy along the water , but you can get great views of the Marina Bay Casino at nght from the waterfront eateries. If you go one block in from the water it's a whole different local scene that is worth exploring.

Seafood restaurants are generally overpriced. What a rip off eg S$18.00 for the tiniest sized Singapore noodle dish.

PLEASE READ THIS Be very very careful in any of these restaurants but most particularly any of them who are charging for food by weight, you will end eating a normal portion of lobster but will then receive a bill for a totally alarming amount - it is a scam, it all seems very normal and you think hey I'm...

Take a leisurely boat ride on the Singapore River. The buildings and bridges look spectacular when they are lit up. The view from marina bay is very good. This place really comes to life at night. There are a variety of places to eat by the riverside.

Not huge fans of the southern side of the Singapore River in the Boat Quay area where the restaurant touts intently try to persuade you into their riverside restaurants. This is more resemblant of less developed places in SE Asia and somehow doesn't seem to belong in the clean, tidy, proper Singapore! If you take the northern side of the... More

Is a beautiful corner of Singapore, one of those places where at first glance you remain speechless. Along the river which crosses the city in one of the most famous old side of the city, a few hundred meters from the Clarke Quay MRT station and a 10-minute walk from the Marina Bay on the banks of the River along...
