Tips

The riverbanks are exposed to strong sunlight, so don't forget a hat and sunscreen. Areas near the river can have unstable footing, so hold hands with small children while strolling. From evening onwards, fireworks spectators begin to gather, so it's good to scout out favorable viewing spots early.

Best time to visit

Duration: approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The cool river breeze in the afternoon is most pleasant.
