I’d always wanted to visit Singapore, but never really had the chance. Sure, I’d transited through Changi Airport before, but that doesn’t count. This time around, I planned a 48 hour layover in Singapore.
Being my first time in Singapore and with limited time, I decided to skip some of outskirt touristy stuff and shift focus instead on doing a bit of sightseeing around the downtown/city center area. To truly experience Singapore I spent most of my time walking around the the city waterfront. The waterfront promenade is central to so many attractions and landmarks, from ritzy 5-star hotels, to the Singapore Flyer and Merlion Park. Merlion, a half-lion & half mermaid, is like a landmark for Singapore.

Then I did a bit of back-tracking towards areas such as Clarke Quay and the business district. Then over the helical bridge, and all the way around towards Marina Bay. The promenade towards Marina Bay takes you on the famous F1 course and many restaurants and outside food alleys.

Marina Bay is a modern place and offers a completely different view with the setting of the sun. The buildings are huge that dominates the downtown skyline. Its a nice place to wander around with plenty of shops, casino and you can go all the way up to the roof top garden.

The cityscape changes dramatically in the night.I spent a few hours in the evening walking around the bay. Its definitely worth to see the building spectacle at night
