The Marina Bay area has really come of age in the last couple of years, with the emergence of magnificent modern architecture, world-class hotels and a host of new bars and restaurants. The arrival of the Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino complex in 2010 changed the Singapore skyline immeasurably and ensured that the city is firmly on the world map. Its proximity to the Central Business District makes this a popular area for business visitors, while the wealth of entertainment options ensures that general tourists are flocking to the area too.
Not surprisingly, the Marina Bay Sands complex features heavily on our list. Its staggering building not only dominates the Singapore skyline, but houses a wealth of entertainment options within. Take advantage of its heady heights and check out the Sands Skypark, offering some of the best views in the whole city, flex the credit card in its maze of shops, take in a show at the theatre or gamble the night away in the Casino. Its huge variety of restaurants will ensure you don't go hungry either.
The Sands Skypark doesn't hold the monopoly on fantastic views however. The Singapore Flyer just across the water is currently the world's highest observation wheel and shouldn't be missed. If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on solid ground, then head to Merlion Park one of the best spots for enjoying the views of the Marina Bay skyline. This is also the best place to jump aboard a river cruise which will take you on up the Singapore River.
