Tourist Singapore: Marina Bay Sands

There's probably not one reader who needs an introduction to Singapore's iconic Marina Bay Sands.


If you don't happen to recognise the gigantic structure, it is a hotel with a shopping mall, fine dining restaurants, casino and a famous rooftop infinity pool. The building was completed in 2010 and cost over 5 billion dollars.

Unfortunately the infinity pool is no longer accessible by the public.

Beneath the Marina Bay Sands are the Gardens by the Bay. The gardens are well known for the Supertrees - a group of 25 and 50 metre structures covered in thousands of plants and flowers. The trees are vertical gardens, reaching the equivalent of a 15 storey building.


We visited the gardens on a typically humid and rainy Singapore day, so the walkway between the Supertrees was closed.

However, the Gardens by the Bay are still beautiful from the ground.




This eery giant baby weighs 7 tonne and is supported only by its hand.

The Marina Bay area is a must-see for anyone visiting Singapore. The hotel looks amazing to stay in for a short trip to Singapore if you can afford to spend around $300 a night.
