From late May until early October:
For lunch on the week ends or early in the evening for a drink and dinner, this is the place to go for some night life by the river, relaxed and beautiful sunset, young and lively.
If you're looking for an open air chill/lounge pause, for a getaway from the buildings and the big city, this is the place to go.
Better go bicycling.
