2. National Gallery Singapore (Supreme Court Lane, Singapore 178879. Mon-Thu & Sun 10am-7pm; Fri & Sat 10am-10pm.)
What is now the National Gallery Singapore used to be two national monuments: the former Supreme Court and City Hall. Located in the heart of the civic district, both buildings have borne witness to several of Singapore’s historical milestones. First constructed in the 1920s and 30s, both the former Supreme Court and City Hall are now home to Singapore’s largest museum, housing a vast collection of artwork within its historically rich halls.
3. Merlion Park (One Fullerton, Singapore 049213. Daily 24 hours.)
Catch a glimpse of Singapore’s most majestic icon, the Merlion, a mythical creature that’s half-fish and half-lion. The Merlion combines two elements of Singapore’s identity—its body symbolises the fishing villages of Singapore’s past, while its lion head is a symbol of Singapura (“lion city” in Sanskrit).
4. Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay (1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981. Information counter opens daily noon-8.30pm.)
Originally named after its neighbouring Esplanade Park, one of the oldest public parks in Singapore, the iconic 60,000-square-metre Performing Arts centre is affectionately dubbed ‘The Durian’ by locals due to its spiky architectural exterior. Having been in the works since the 1970s, the Esplanade was set up as a hub where Singaporeans can engage with and be inspired by the local arts and culture scene.
5. Singapore Flyer (0 Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039803. Daily and on Public Holidays 2pm – 10pm, Last Admission: 9:30pm.)
Standing at 165 metres above ground is Asia’s largest observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer. Launched in 2008, the wheel is a favourite tourist attraction due to its vantage point offering stunning panoramic views of Marina Bay and the city. Over the years, the Singapore Flyer has also become a significant feature in the backdrop of the FORMULA ONE Singapore Grand Prix Marina Bay Street Circuit.
There are many other attractions that you will not want to miss, such as Gardens by the Bay, National Museum of Singapore, Asian Civilisations Museum, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, Orchard Road, and Clark Quay, etc.
