Things to Do
Gardens by the Bay
A surreal mixture of structures, light features, and living plants, the Gardens by the Bay redefine the strolling experience as a fanciful waterfront park. Throughout the site’s three garden settings—Bay Central Garden, Bay South Garden, and Bay East Garden—are dozens of abstract sculptures, plus the iconic Supertree Grove, featuring towering tree-like trunks that work as vertical gardens illuminated after dark
Average time spent here is between 1 and 2 hours
Marina Bay
The district of Marina Bay is considered to be Singapore's tourism epicenter. Marina Bay houses some of the city's main points of interest as well as numerous opportunities for entertainment like the ArtScience Museum and The Float at Marina Bay (the world's largest floating stadium)
You'll also find the Singapore Flyer, Gardens By the Bay and Merion Park, some of the city's best lookout spots overlooking the bay
Some recommended a stroll during the day and night, as both take on two different atmospheres
Average time spent here is between half a day to a full day
Singapore Flyer
Since opening in 2008, the 42-storey-tall Flyer, billed as Asia's largest giant observation wheel, has offered visitors 360-degree views of the urban landscape from Marina Bay
The attraction claims that visitors can catch a glimpse of neighboring Malaysia or Indonesia from the highest point of the observation wheel
