Marina Bay, a downtown area by the sea, is buzzing with life. Besides being home to the Esplanade - Theaters on the bay (one of the busiest arts centers), it is also home to the Singapore Flyer. Singapore flyer is the world’s largest giant observation wheel, which just opened on March 1st, 2008.

Standing at 165m - or 42 storeys - the Singapore flyer, which takes half an hour to complete one round, offers spectacular views of Singapore’s cityscape - be it day or night.
After a ride on the flyer, explore the Singapore flyer complex, which has plenty of things to keep you well-fed and retail-happy.

Take your pick from the restaurants serving local and international cuisine, browse through shops offering everything from jewelry and luxury watches to exquisitely handmade accessories, or opt for an unusual pedicure with fish from Turkey nibbling away at your feet.
Coming up in September is the Singapore Grand Prix, the world’s first night race, which will see world-class formula 1 driver racing through this vibrant area.

Never leave Singapore before spend sometimes at Marina Bay - you will never ever regret it.
