The best of Marina Bay (2026)
The postcard Singapore — Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Merlion and the rooftop bars of the CBD towers around the bay.
Marina Bay is where most first trips to Singapore start: the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade and the Merlion, with Lau Pa Sat and the CBD's rooftop bars a short walk away. Our Marina Bay picks cover the sights, the hotels and where to eat and drink with the skyline in view.
