Top sights in Marina Bay

Editor's Choice

This collection explores Singapore's architectural evolution and historical milestones. It includes the futuristic Gardens by the Bay, home to massive biodomes and Supertrees, and the Tang-style Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown. Historical sites feature the Battlebox, a former WWII command bunker in Fort Canning, and Chijmes, a repurposed Neo-Gothic convent. For local culture, Haji Lane in Kampong Glam provides a narrow corridor of vibrant murals and boutique storehouses. These landmarks represent the city’s transition from a colonial port and wartime stronghold to a modern, green metropolis.
