Discover must-see spots around Marina Ba, from Gardens by the Bay and the ArtScience Museum to Esplanade, the Merlion, National Gallery and Orchard Road.
A modern wonder of landscape design, this waterfront park blends cutting-edge sustainability with sheer visual drama. Wander beneath the Supertrees, then step into the Cloud Forest for mist-cooled paths, hidden orchids and a soaring indoor waterfall. Evening light and sound shows turn the grove into a dreamy spectacle, while quiet corners by Dragonfly Lake reward an unhurried stroll.
ArtScience Museum
Shaped like an unfurling lotus, the museum is where technology, creativity and storytelling meet. Expect blockbuster rotating exhibitions—digital installations you can touch, interactive rooms that respond to movement, and thoughtful shows spanning space, nature and design. It’s engaging for families and culture-seekers alike, and the waterfront setting makes for striking photos after your visit.
Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay
The spiky “durian” domes house Singapore’s most dynamic performing-arts complex. From symphony and opera to jazz and contemporary dance, the calendar is packed year-round. Free foyer performances and waterfront buskers keep the precinct lively even if you don’t have tickets. Time your visit at sunset and watch the skyline glow as music drifts across the promenade.
This is the quintessential view: the half-lion, half-fish icon spouting water with the bay and city towers beyond. Come early for soft morning light and cooler air, or late evening for reflections on the water. The looped promenade is ideal for jogs and gentle walks, with plenty of benches and photo stops along the way.
National Gallery Singapore
Housed in the beautifully restored former City Hall and Supreme Court buildings, the Gallery holds the world’s largest public collection of modern art from Singapore and Southeast Asia. Spend a few hours tracing regional stories through bold canvases and sculpture, then head to the rooftop for a close-up look at historic domes and a wide city outlook.
Singapore Flyer
One of the world’s tallest observation wheels, the Flyer offers a slow, 30-minute glide above Marina Bay. Capsules are spacious and air-conditioned, making it comfortable even on warm afternoons. Go just before dusk to watch day slide into night as landmarks, bridges and the bay’s curves light up beneath you.
Beyond the famous retail stretch, Orchard’s side streets hide indie cafes, Peranakan-inspired architecture and pocket parks. Inside the flagship malls, you’ll find homegrown designers next to global names, plus excellent bakeries and tea bars for mid-shopping pauses. It’s also an easy springboard to Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO-listed green haven.
