Three of the world's most scenic waterfronts

There's nothing quite like mulling over life's bittersweet symphonies, as you gaze into sparkling waters. The Trip crisscrossed the globe to find you waterfronts that will help you savour those moments

Sydney Harbour, Australia
One of the most visually stunning harbours in the world, this is a place to take a leisurely stroll, with the steely Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background, immerse yourself in culture at the Opera House, take a boat ride, mull over life's varied meanings or simply, soak in the moment. Attractions like Circular Quay, The Rocks and Botanical Garden add to the exquisite waterfront. Whether you are on land or on water, basking under the blue skies and by the shining waters of this harbour is an absolutely magnificent way to spend a day down under.




Clarke Quay, Singapore

There are not many things that can compare to sitting by the riverside quay, sipping on a heady Margarita and watching the tourist-packed bumboat drift past. This waterfront plays host to a colourful kaleidoscope of restaurants, wine bars, discotheques and shops where remnants from yesteryear (check out the charming shophouses and pushcarts) merge seamlessly with the industrialised side of the country. Adrenaline junkies can go berserk over the Reverse Bungy while those seeking solace can walk it up to the end, where the Merlion never ceases to spout water.u00a0

Paris Plage, France
While most of the Parisians pack their bags and head off to cooler climates in August, the mayor of Paris appeases to the ones cooped within the romantic city by creating temporary artificial beaches along the Seine. Walk by the bustling riverbank where you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do ufffd from activities like dance classes, climbing walls, games and swimming (in floating pools, not the river) to facilities like beach chairs, hammocks, caf ufffds and shady palm trees along with a string of shows and performances, this lively place will make sure that you never have a dull moment.
