What to expect

The official tourism guide describes 71,800 square metres of public space, including 38,052 square metres of green areas, split between the east and west banks and joined by two bridges. The route includes pedestrian paths, cycleways, picnic areas, play spaces and places to pause by the river; the guide also points out public art and services. The City’s maintenance project remains marked in execution, but does not identify which path segments are affected on a given day.
