Singapore City Attractions, Things To Do & See Downtown, Places To Visit




Marina Bay Sands is easily the most famous destination in Singapore. Home to some of the most luxurious buildings as well as a casino, hotel, convention centre, shopping mall, and museum, this iconic attraction should not be missed. Several celebrity-chef owned restaurants can also be found in Marina Bay Sands, as well as the ArtScience Museum. Modern and elegant, the Marina Bay Sands should not be missed.

The Singapore Flyer is a popular sight too. This massive Ferris wheel stands at a height of 165 meters and features 28 capsules that can accommodate a total of 28 people. Take a ride on the Singapore Flyer to see breathtaking 360-degree views of the city’s skyline and its famous establishments including Raffles Place, Padang, and Empress Place, among many others.

Merlion Park is an iconic landmark among Singapore City attractions. The Merlion is a mythical beast associated with Singapore; its fish body represents Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village.

The National Gallery Singapore is home to the biggest public collection of modern Singaporean and Asian Art in the country. Though there is a permanent display, the museum also houses special exhibits from time to time. If you are keen on learning more about Singaporean culture and art, this museum is your best bet.

The ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands is a beautiful lotus-shaped facility that is famous for being one of the best examples of modern engineering combined with art. Spanning an area of over 50,000 square feet, the ArtScience Museum features 21 gallery spaces and mind-blowing exhibitions. Its permanent exhibit called Future World invites visitors to immerse in 16 interactive works, while its other featured exhibitions will tickle your imagination and curiosity.

Singapore City attractions have something for all interests and ages. Be sure to spend a few nights in the city to visit them all.
