    Don’t miss!
    Singapore has much history in this area and it continues to evolve. Beautiful place to enjoy as you can take a river cruise, bungee jump, walk, or bicycle! And for all you Apple fans, there’s even an Apple Store here. Very popular area, night and day.

    Amazing time at Marina Bay
    It is an amazing experience in Singapore at Marina Bay. The view is incredible especially at sunset and night. You can walk or jog around the bridge and have a good and variety food choices inside the mall. The river is there since many years ago but never bored to visit and experiences many new things around. Bravo!

    Amazing view
    Always bring umbrella every time you visit especially during summer. We went there first last July 2017 at the top of Marina Bay for the view of Singapore at Night. Then another visit last September 2022. Its always nice to explore the area with bike.

    Lots To Look At
    There are lots of iconic buildings to look at, including the quirky Marina Bay Sands complex. Thre's a building shaped like an opening lotus. There's a huge merlion spouting water into the bay. It's surrounded by walkways with bars & restaurants. It's impressive, but it's modern & lacks any warmth or soul.

    Eyecatching
    We visited Marina Bay in May 2023. We took a walk around the perimeter and saw the Merlion. We visited Marina Bay Sands and walked through the shopping areas before heading through to Gardens by the Bay. Marina Bay is quite impressive and relaxing to walk around. Very modern, luxurious and pristine. Definitely a must-see!

    Has it all!
    There is a lot going on at Marina Bay. An enormous mall, casino, restaurants, and a great light show on the bay at night. IT’s a bit overwhelming at first, but worth taking a look for sure.

    Best enjoyed at sunset
    In the evening take some time to stroll along the Marina Bay...the breezy evenings make more bearable visiting this stunning part of the city. And there are plenty of activities that will make the time fly. From outdoor concerts to light/water shows...surely you'll find something to entertain yourself.

    A must in Singapore
    This area is a must in the city of Singapore. Beautifully located on the water, you can take your time here, strolling along the waterfront, or hiring a bike. Lovely vistas. You will find many food outlets, coffee shops and restaurants along the way. Admire the stunning architecture and cool off in the glamorous Marina Bay Sands mall.

    Amazing experience.
    The Infinity pool. Amazing views, food and drink and staff. The lifeguard , Moe Lamit, is the type of person who goes well beyond expectations. He baked you want to come back. This is our third visit. Moe is great.

    Plan the evening and enjoy!
    The best place in the Singapore for hangout and evening stroll. There are many attractions near this area. Nice place to click a picture with Marina Bay Sands hotel in the background. Don't miss the musical fountain show in the evening. Visit Merlion and Boat Quay also, can plan accordingly.

We were fortunate enough to spend five nights at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel so we got to explore the bay every day. Much of the attractions are free: Gardens by the Bay, walk path around the Merlion park, the Helix pedestrian bridge. Overall it is a beautiful area to explore on foot.

Must come during the day time as well as at night. The Spectra light shows are simply magical. So many shops and restaurants, cafes, bars in this area. Perfect for people watching or resting from a long day of exploring.

The city lights make photographing super easy. Time spent here will create lasting memories for the trip!

To really appreciate Marina Bay try a hire bike ride clockwise around the pathways that hug the shoreline. So many sights to take in along the way and very few pedestrians to navigate around. The Marina Sands Bay Hotel, the Singapore Flyer Wheel, spectacular bridges, the National Stadium, Bay East Gardens, the Barrage and of course, Gardens by the Bay. You may also spot otters swimming close to shore and we also encountered a Pangolin Lizard. Then make sure you return in the evening for the Spectra Light Show for a completely different experience, where Merlion Park is a great vantage point if a little crowded.

Exploring the mall is a must. However, be cautious of the pricey shops it houses. The overall decor is quite impressive. Additionally, consider heading up to the hotel’s rooftop for a stunning view.

Probably one of the most spectacular and beautiful bays in the world. With two unusual bridges each side. The Marina Bay Sands Hotel looks spectacular. This area is especially beautiful at night time with all the lights on the skyscrapers. The Spectra show is also held here at 8pm and 9pm

Beautiful but Singapore is very expensive and artificial. The locals, culturally, feel distant and reserved. Many places in the world which offer far more

Singapore has been very clever using the area for impressive features and using waterways to link areas - nothing is too far and the photo opportunities are endless !
I love seeing that Singapore has kept some of his history with the beautiful old buildings - great area
