Marina Bay has been the biggest winner in the fast-paced development of Singapore. The whole Marina Bay area has undergone a transformation of epic proportions and is now the de facto centre of Singapore for visitors. The S$5.5 billion Marina Bay Sands complex is the focal point of the bay, and many of the great things to do and see in the area revolve around this epic building and resort.
The variety of attractions at Marina Bay wouldn’t be complete without the famous Merlion, Singapore’s symbol and most sought-after photo-op. Aside from pretty things to see, the area is packed full of fun and fascinating things to do as well – all of which are great for the whole spectrum of different visitors that flock to this stunning spot every year.

Lue lisääThe ArtScience Museum in Singapore stands proudly as a landmark in itself at Marina Bay. While most traditional art or science museums attract visitors purely for what is found inside them, at ArtScience Museum, this is not the case.
The iconic lotus flower design of the building is simply stunning – making this attraction worth a look purely for its spectacular architecture. Inside is just as impressive, with over 20 gallery spaces across a total area of 50,000 square feet highlighting all things creative and historical in Singapore (exhibitions are subject to regular change).

Lue lisääThe Merlion is not just any ordinary statue. This solid concrete, 70-tonne, water-spouting, half mermaid-half lion figure is a mythical symbol of Singapore, and probably the most sought-after photo-op for visitors to the city-state.
Whilst the iconic statue is the main focal point, the surrounding area has a nice terraced seating area (free to use) where you can relax, take in the view or have yourself a little picnic (or cheeky beer at night). There is also a purposely built jetty stretching out over the water, providing a great platform for that all-important photo of the Merlion, or the rest of the Marina Bay, which is just as stunning.
