Singapore is a modern metropolitan wonder, one of the word’s most diverse, influential, and beautiful cities, a work of urban art that is home to a vibrant multicultural population that drives a thriving world-class economy. The Singapore skyline is one of the world’s most famous due to its unique and varied architecture.
The best way to enjoy gazing at the city’s fantastic skyline it to visit the best skybar in Singapore where you can spend your evening relaxing with amazing artisanal cocktails, wonderful gourmet food, and a view that is simply unforgettable!
To whet your visual appetite, here are some of the stars in the shining earthly constellation that is the Singapore skyline!
Supertree Grove – Marvel at these towering structures that are shaped like enormous trees at Gardens by the Bay, a nature park with a very futuristic motif! These incredible vertical gardens are illuminated in a dazzling nightly light show that cannot be missed! The Supertree Grove is a part of Singapore’s ongoing quest to redefine its urban green spaces using innovative designs that also promote environmental sustainability.
Singapore Flyer – This is one of the largest observation wheels in the world, affording its riders panoramic views of Marina Bay and far beyond. The wheel is an architectural marvel that rises majestically on the Singapore skyline, slowly rotating in a mesmerizing show of lights, a beacon of fun and frolic that also happens to be a thing of great beauty.
Tanjong Pagar Centre – This titanic tower is currently the tallest skyscraper in Singapore. The building’s imposing height of 290 metres actually exceeds the city’ urban height limit, but due to its location out of the way of flight paths the government exempted it from the restriction. It is truly a wonder to behold standing proudly in its lofty place on Singapore’s iconic skyline!
Esplanade Theatres on the Bay – Another exciting example of modern Asian architecture, the Esplanade is a thriving performing arts centre near the mouth of the Singapore River. The massive building has four floors that house a variety of splendid performance venues including a theatre with a 2000-seat capacity designed for the performing arts, a 1600-seat capacity concert hall for musical performances, and a recital studio and theatre studio that the Esplanade’s in-house programming team use to produce scores of festivals and numerous special events all through the year. This sprawling and architecturally enduring complex is also home to a public library which features a vast book collection mostly devoted to the performing arts.
8 Shenton Way / AXA Tower – Singapore is an incredibly well-rounded city, so it’s only natural that it’s home to the world’s tallest cylindrical building! This 235 metres tall skyscraper is served by 16 Double Decker elevators, and is famed for its 360-degree bird’s eye view of the city, making it not just a great place to view the skyline from, but an intriguingly shaped addition to it as well! The complex structure of this commercial tower is made up of steel beams that are cantilevered from a cylindrical concrete core.
We hope you get a chance to see Singapore’s scintillating skyline for yourself soon!
