Great for an evening walk to the Esplanade and Merlion that have out door eateries to enjoy the skyline view and the buzz

Use a rental bike and cruise the scenery of Marina Bay Sands. Have a coffee at the MBS Promenande, cruise on and see Singapore from different angles.

The Marina Bay's only purpose to make small town boy like me to feel even smaller. Describing it as breath taking, jaw dropping or simply amazing is still an understatement. This is the place for glitzy high fliers to burn their easy earned cash and show off their jet set lifestyle but there's also plenty for us commoners to admire it from ground level promenade too.
The whole area has been built on reclaimed land but the most important part is the aesthetics that blows our tiny average minds. From planning to design, layout, facilities, maintenance and amount of attractions provided here feels like a overkill sometimes.
The laser lightshow alone is enough to keep me occupied for hours but then there's boat ride, giant ferris wheel, science museum, Gardens by the Bay, Merlion Park, sculptures, cafés, restaurants, five star hotels, shopping malls and of course in the centre of it all the iconic Sands.
I've never had so many wow moments in one day.

The best time to walk here is late afternoon into early evening. You'd be able to see the lights at night and if you're lucky, you can also see the laser display from MBS. Sit by the river, relax and just enjoy the moment with your loved one or family.

I've enjoyed my regular walks around the Marina Bay waterfront during the extended lockdown in Singapore. Great views out over the water and the city beyond, and less people around than usual.

The best to be in Singapore where you can view the whole Marina Bay Waterfront with all the beautiful high-rise buildings surrounding. I visited this waterfront during the and nigh time. Day time it can be bit hot but it is worth it as the picture comes out better during the day. This waterfront is always busy day and night.
A lot of benches and sun-tan chairs provided for public's to sit and relax. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. There is nice juice bar just behind under the bridge.

We did and used it to walk from Raffles past the Durians to the Merlion and then on to the Sands and the Gardens beyond. The views are ever-changing and stunning. Great walk.

Is the light show at Marina Bay at 8pm visible from the Skypark Observation Deck? Thank you.
Christine J

Yes and you should be able to see the 'super trees' from there too. We did get charged 20 dollars each to go on the observation deck, but you can put that towards the cost of a drink. We watched from the ground floor outside at the back. it was spectaular - although we did get slight wet, it was amazing.

Hi, is it better to watch the light show from outside the casino back towards the Fullerton Hotel or from the Fullerton hotel looking out towards the casino side?

You want to be watching the show from the back of the mall and casino and looking toward the Fullerton Hotel. The show literally takes place right there. To be honest there are no bad seats to view the show.

What time is the light and sound show? When is the best time to visit this place?

Light show is at eight and nine - but be sure to visit during the day. The shock of seeing a suspended ship atop three futuristic towers with the blue sky atop it is worth seeing.

just back from Singapore 3day break and Clarke Quay and the marina bay (hotel) aren't actually in the same area so not sure why people have said they are. Clark Quay is more in land and is a little cheesy selection of bars and restaurants. The waterfront promenade is about 20mins walk from Clarke Quay and then to walk to marina bay (hotel/shops etc) this is another good 20/25 min walk from the promenade (where the theatre is).. if you have a few hours you can walk and see everything but they aren't that near and it it a good 45 min walk from the Quay to MBS

alloggerò al marina bay sand come faccio a raggiungere il lungomare?

Il Marina Bay Sands si affaccia da un lato su un grande parco pubblico (Gardens By The Bay) che giunge al mare (ma non un lungomare). Dall'altro lato l'hotel ha l'estensione su un enorme e splendido centro commerciale di lusso con annesso teatro, pista di pattinaggio, museo. Usciti dal centro commerciale c'è una bella passeggiata pedonale sulla baia. Sembra un lungo mare. Di fatto non lo è perché la baia è artificiale e si immette nel Singapore River che poi va al mare.
Bellissima zona. Quella più moderna e di lusso della città. Lungo quel "lungomare" ogni sera ci sono giochi di luci e la possibilità di fare anche jogging.
Ciao,
Alessandra

Hallo zusammen,
wir werden im August erstmals in Singapur sein. Wir begeisterte Hobbyfotografen und mich würde interessieren, von welchem Standort aus man die beste Aussicht auf die nächtliche Skyline von Singapur hat. Also mit Marina Sands Hotel, Merlion etc. und ob es gelegentlich Probleme gibt, wenn mit Stativ fotografiert wird. Ich habe gelesen, dass man oben auf dem Marina Sands Hotel das nicht so gerne sieht...
Schöne Grüße

How far is this attraction from where the cruise ship docks

I'm not sure of the exact distance but it's not far. There are many buses, the metro and cars that can take you. I would say it would take less than half hour by metro.

Not exactly sure how far. Probably best to take a taxi as they are reliable and not too expensive particulalry in the intense tropical heat.
