    Marina Bay is an absolutely stunning destination! The breathtaking skyline, iconic landmarks like Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, and the vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing stroll along the waterfront, watching the mesmerizing light shows, or dining at world-class restaurants, there’s always something magical about this place. The combination of modern architecture, beautiful nature, and lively nightlife creates an unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting Singapore, Marina Bay is definitely a highlight you shouldn’t miss!

    Though quite pricey for the 40 minute circuit, the views from the top are worth it. I did not like the obligatory "Time Capsule" passage we had to go through to get to the actual ride! We arrived on a cloudy afternoon and there was no line, no wait and we had the capsule to ourselves, which was lots of fun!

    It is easy to get to via the MRT and a nice walk to the statue. This is a very popular area with plenty of places to grab something to eat or drink. There are also some toilets nearby. Great views of the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

    We walked here from the Marina Bay Sands hotel. It is a big, impressive mall with one expensive store after another. Some brand names and the rest very high end shopping. Most people here were just window shopping. There are many restaurants and a big food court. They had some holiday displays including a few Christmas trees which made it more festive. It was not busy.

    Well done to all

    Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit system is good when you can locate the stop. We had difficulty navigating on Google Maps to locate the stations. Once on the train, it is a very good experience. The trains are not packed like London or Tokyo, the ride is smooth and comfortable. A big bonus is that you just have to swipe your credit card at the stall before and after your ride.

    I was truly in my happy place exploring the many galleries in the National Art Gallery.

    This is truly an incredible building architecturally speaking and it houses an equally impressive modern visual art collection. The finest in South East Asia. There are other galleries here too devoted to the history of art in Singapore & the region, exploring the deep connections between the changes in Singapore and their impact on wider culture and the art scene. I learned so much this morning as this is only my second visit to Singapore and my first with my partner.

    This is where today’s visit was so special. I love art and have done so for many decades, simply put, my partner is not as interested in it as I am. Yet this visit triggered something. What I thought would only be a 1-2 hours at most visit before my partner became restless turned into a half day visit where quite often we wondered off in different directions exploring on our own only for me to discover my partner intently viewing modern works & sculptures and taking lots and lots of photos of the architecture of the amazing building too.

    When I asked what was different, the response was simply it did not feel like a normal art gallery and the layout and architecture all combined to create an inviting space for exploration & discovery. I hope this is the start of something new for us. Thank you National Gallery Singapore!

    Very large hawker centre that needs to be tried. Multiple choices of food and open seating areas. Bit more expensive than normal hawkers but is very central and a popular attraction

    …gave me a pretty great view this Saturday during qualifying and I really enjoyed watching. Decent location not too far from any one point of the circuit, which is good too for the entertainment options.

    A sprawling complex of cafes, restaurants, high end fashion, specialty stores, in fact, it would be easy to spend a day here looking at the merchandise and attractions, but we only spent a half day as most stores seem to remain closed until 10.00am and some not until 11.00am. I understand that there are some 500 outlets in this complex. Also seems to be the base for the HOHO bus and other tour companies. Friendly staff throughout but not overly busy on the day we visited.
