Some visitors treat it as a regular spot to relax or get work done at a cafe.

The Scene

The main draw is the atmosphere itself, a vibrant, modern marina full of skyscrapers, restaurants, cafes, and luxury yachts, especially lively and photogenic at sunset when light reflects off the buildings and water.

Go at sunset or in the evening for the best light and atmosphere; the promenade is described as calm enough for focused work at cafes but lively enough for a full night out with friends.
