The walk from Redhill to Marina Bay boasts views of some of Singapore's most iconic riverside landmarks such as Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and The Fullerton Hotel.

Begin your journey at the Alexandra Park Connector near Redhill MRT station. This peaceful path starts beside Alexandra Canal and runs 1.7km eastwards with condominiums towering over it. As you make your way down stretch after stretch of shadowy pathway, which has no spectacular night scenery, the walk might take a meditative, introspective turn. Or it could be the perfect place for a romantic rendezvous.
