Often referred to as the 'Lion City' Singapore is one of the most futuristic, and stunningly designed cities in the world. From their grand Changi Airport to the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore is filled with man-made marvels and natural wonders that make any visit however short, truly enjoyable. Visitors can opt to walk, take the busses, or their impressively efficient subway system to explore the city and discover all it has to offer. Below are some must-visit places you should add to your Singaporean itinerary.
When it comes to iconic views, the SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands is unparalleled. Perched 57 levels above ground, this observation deck offers a 360-degree panorama of the city’s skyline, including landmarks like Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage, and the bustling Marina Bay waterfront.
The best time to visit is during sunset when the sky turns vibrant hues of orange and pink, giving way to the dazzling city lights. Don’t miss capturing the light and water show, Spectra, from this elevated vantage point.
Gardens by the Bay isn’t just about flora and fauna—it’s also a place to enjoy breathtaking views. The OCBC Skyway, a suspended walkway between the Supertrees, offers unique perspectives of the futuristic garden and the surrounding cityscape.
Visit during the evening to witness the Garden Rhapsody, a magical light and sound show that transforms the Supertrees into an illuminated wonderland.
The Singapore Flyer, Asia’s largest observation wheel, provides a slow and serene journey to take in the city’s skyline from up to 165 meters above ground. As you ascend, views of Marina Bay, the Singapore River, and even neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia on clear days unfold before your eyes. Located just 10 minutes away from luxury hotels such as The Robertson House by The Crest Collection, visitors can plan a visit here very easily.
Opt for a Premium Champagne Flight for a luxurious experience while enjoying the aerial scenery.
One of Singapore’s oldest parks, Mount Faber, offers lush greenery and a serene escape from the city’s hustle just 15 minutes away from many a luxury hotel in Singapore. The Faber Peak viewing platforms provide stunning views of Sentosa Island, the Southern Waterfront, and the surrounding urban sprawl.
A ride on the Singapore Cable Car adds another dimension to your visit, letting you glide over the treetops and admire the city and sea below.
For a mix of natural beauty and quiet serenity, head to Tanjong Rimau on Sentosa Island. This hidden gem offers unobstructed views of the sea and the distant horizon.
Accessible via a short trek, it’s an ideal spot to catch the sunset or watch ships drifting along the busy maritime routes of Singapore.
Located in the Tanjong Pagar district, the Pinnacle@Duxton is a residential complex with an impressive public sky bridge on the 50th floor. The sky bridge offers sweeping views of the city’s CBD and Chinatown.
This lesser-known gem provides an affordable way to experience Singapore from above, with a minimal fee for access.
