The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Singapore, Singapore

July 17, 2021 Jasper Kershner

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

Affectionately known among locals as the "durian", Esplanade is one of the busiest arts centres in the world with about 3,000 performances presented yearly. Spot our prickly cladding in the middle of the central arts and cultural district, and take in the view from the Marina bay waterfront where our Outdoor Theatre is situated. Coming to Esplanade means that you're in for a complete lifestyle experience, from enjoying a night out at a show, to shopping and dining. And whether you're a first-timer, an ardent patron or fellow arts lover, you're most welcome here and we'll do our best to give you a great experience with the arts.

Ni Hao, Apa Khabar and Vanakkam!! It was an absolute privilege for me to observe "Peace and Prosperity of SG" annual fun-filled event packed with exciting song performances, fireworks display, the setting of a Guinness World Record of the Largest Display of 720 Lion Dance, showcase of 54 Lamborghinis out of 300 in SG, outstanding Jazz performance by ladies band, Tessera, Rock concert and the lovely people, all around Durian Helmets!! I highly recommend everyone to stroll around starting from Boat Quay to Esplanade which is pleasant walk... they have some al-fresco dining available at the evening.. Enjoy!!

Perfect place to have a perfect view of the entire city of Singapore, the best time to visit this place is during the night so you can see the entire city lit up , putting up some pictures of the view from this place and trust me you will regret if you don’t visit this place.

Went up to the Marina Bay Sands Skypark to admire the view and enjoy a cocktail,following the advise of a colleague Trip Advisor review I purchased the ticket to get access to the Skypark terrace and used the fee paid to pay in part for a cocktail, the view is magnificent and the architecture is amazing. The restriction was to go to the pool area reserved only for guests, Enjoying a cocktail and the view and the people watching was fabulous , the weather was perfect and had a leisurely drink and edamame, there are two bars I spent my time closest to the infinity pool, the oposite side had a restaurant and a bar, Excellent time

If you are looking for a free indoor (or air conditioned) attraction, this can be one of them. Went there with two primary school aged children and it was both educational and interesting. What you need to do is to book the tour via their website. It is best to take a taxi (Grab or Uber) there as the walk from the main road is quite long and it can be quite hot.

Gardens by the Bay

An integral part of Singapore's "City in a Garden" vision, Gardens by the Bay spans a total of 101 hectares of prime land at the heart of Singapore's new downtown - Marina Bay. Comprising three waterfront gardens - Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central - Gardens by the Bay will be a showcase of horticulture and garden artistry that will bring the world of plants to Singapore and present Singapore to the World.

Reviewed By tregsact - Mollymook, Australia

We spent a fantastic day at the Gardens by the Bay. The gardens are amazing and offer so much variety. The highlights were definitely the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest Dome and they are definitely worth the entrance fees to see amazing diversity of plants, beautiful garden designs and creative sculptures and structures - especially the carved wood models of dragons, eagles, horses etc. The only slight disappointment for us was the additional charged display called Floral Fantasy. This was a timed entry display where you had to book for an hourly slot and was $20 per person. It literally took us less than 10 minutes to walk around the display - so it was poor value compared to the combined $28 for the much more impressive Flower Dome and Cloud Forest Domes.

Cloud Forest

Reviewed By makaan - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It felt like being transported to a new world the moment we stepped into the entrance to Cloud Forest. We were greeted by a huge waterfall and imposing structure. Truly beautiful and breath-taking! Make sure you take your time to explore all levels of the cloud forest. Definitely worth it. It provides easily accessible pathways, and the walk can be at a moderate pace to enjoy the surroundings. One can see the flora and fauna of a forest without having to exert the physical exhaustion of climbing a mountain to see the different plants and foliage that exists at different levels of the forest, and the pleasant air-conditioning makes the visit very comfortable.

Flower Dome

Step into the Flower Dome and you'll be standing in awe of nature. Spectacular and innovative in design, it is one of the icons of Bay South Garden. The Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy. Home to a collection of plants from deserts all over the world, it showcases the adaptations of plants to arid environments. Stop and smell the flowers in the colourful changing displays of the Flower Field, which reflects different seasons, festivals and themes.

Reviewed By NandanRao - Bengaluru, India

In short words - "A visual and olfactory treat!" Stepping into the flower dome from a blazing sun, you are already treated with air conditioned environment that allows you to immediately relax and are greeted with various scents coming from different flowers. Although it does not look so big from outside, the flower dome is quite huge inside and contains flowers of all kinds. We were lucky to be visiting at the time when a Tulip festival was going on (Till May 20th 2019) and we had a sneak peak into the Kukenhoff festival from Netherlands with a mock Windmill in the flower dome! All kinds of flowers are on display and the flower dome is also a photographer's paradise. A Quick walk would need about 30 minutes (assuming you are here to see the flowers and not just walk), but plan to spend at least 1 hour and keep additional 30 minutes if you are a photo freak!
