Singapore Things to Do Views & Observation Decks

The 10 Best Views & Observation Decks in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 10 picks

The best views in Singapore in 2026 are from the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck, the Singapore Flyer and the Pinnacle@Duxton skybridge, which costs only a few dollars. For free views, go to CapitaSpring's 51st-floor sky garden, the Marina Barrage roof and Mount Faber Peak.

Singapore's skyline is best seen at dusk, when you get daylight, sunset and the city lights in one visit; the Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay light shows start at around 7.45pm. Haze can cut visibility at times, especially around September and October, so check the sky before paying for a ticket. Several of the best viewpoints are free, and some, such as CapitaSpring's sky garden, need a booking. For drinks with a view, see our rooftop bars guide.
