The 2.8km Singapore River Walk

The 2.8km Singapore River Walk, which takes about 1 1/2 hours to complete, stretches from Collyer Quay to Robertson Quay. It covers historic buildings, places of worship and bridges.

 

 

Those who walk along the route - which replaces the Singapore River Trail launched by NHB in 2005 - can learn about the river's story through 14 "heritage markers", plaques detailing the history of each site. Seven are new - including those featuring the former clinic and the Masjid Omar Kampong Melaka, Singapore's oldest mosque and place of worship established in 1820.

Mr Tan Boon Hui, NHB's assistant chief executive of museums and programmes, said the revitalised trail focuses on the river and its evolution, unlike the previous trail which offered a broader storyline of Singapore's development. "We hope the enhanced trail will reveal lesser known facts of the river and enable a renewed appreciation of its vital role over the years," he said.
