Les incontournables de Marina Bay

Marina Bay Essentials

Marina Bay serves as Singapore’s architectural centerpiece, anchored by the iconic Merlion statue and the 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay. The district features distinct landmarks like the lotus-inspired ArtScience Museum, the DNA-structured Helix Bridge, and the "durian-shaped" Esplanade theatres. Engineering highlights include the 165-meter Singapore Flyer and the Marina Barrage dam. For dining and nightlife, the 19th-century Lau Pa Sat market offers traditional street food, while the historic Clarke Quay and 1-Altitude provide elevated views and riverside entertainment along the water's edge.
