Indulge at Marina Bay Sands: “What is the building in Singapore with a ship on top?” The prominent Marina Bay Sands is almost instantly recognisable as part of Singapore’s iconic skyline. Here, you can catch a musical or shop till you drop! 🛍 The integrated resort comprises of a hotel, convention centre, theatre, museum, celebrity restaurants, luxury boutiques, and retail shops. The renowned infinity pool, unfortunately, is only accessible by hotel guests. However, you can still enjoy a panoramic view of Singapore’s world-class cityscape during your layover in Singapore at the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck (right next to the pool)!

Take a selfie at Merlion Park: Though many iconic attractions have popped up over the decade, the Merlion Park remains an ever-popular landmark for many tourists. The half-fish, half-lion Singapore icon stands at 8.6-metre tall, but you may still have to wiggle through flocks of crowd during peak hours to get a selfie with it. 📸

If you didn’t manage to get up to Sands SkyPark (the queue is incredibly long sometimes), head over to the Singapore Flyer instead. The giant observation wheel was the largest in the world when it first opened in 2014, but was quickly overtaken by other countries as years went by. Nonetheless, the 165-metre (or 42-storey) Singapore Flyer offers stunning views of the vibrant metropolis as you enjoy the 30-minute ride in an air-conditioned capsule. 🎡
