No matter the kind of traveler you are, whether you’re a foodie, night owl, or cultural seeker, Singapore offers a good mix of experiences. From a mix of food you can enjoy while wandering the night markets to drinking cocktails at a stunning sky bar restaurant in Singapore, this city-state is definitely worth exploring either by day or night.
Marina Bay at Night
It’s not really a Singapore trip if you didn’t go to Marina Bay Sands. It’s on everyone’s itinerary, after all, and it’s even included in the Free Singapore Tour you can join in from Changi Airport. But Marina Bay is as stunning at night as it is during the day, which means it’s a whole-day affair.
● Enjoy the striking city skyline while taking a leisurely walk along the Waterfront Promenade
● Experience the architectural wonder that is the Helix Bridge while the sun is up and when the bridge is lit up at night
● Be amazed by the Spectra Light and Water Show that will have you oohing and aahing throughout, which is totally free, by the way
Ride the Singapore Flyer
What better way to get a 360-degree view of the city lights than aboard the largest observation wheel in Asia?
● Time your booking during sunset to see more of the city before darkness blankets it and the lights turn on
● Traveling with a special someone? Make it a romantic dinner for two when you book a special dining flight that you’re sure to find while hunting for the best travel deals
Sentosa After Dark
You may know Sentosa Island for its cable car rides and proximity to Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium. But the fun doesn’t end here when the sun sets. In fact, you’ll be treated to a different kind of entertainment after dark.
● Ride the night luge for an unforgettable experience, which you’ll definitely appreciate if you take the day luge as well.
● Watch Wings of Time, a spectral light, fountain, and music show that ends with spectacular fireworks
● Check out the entire stretch of Sentosa’s beaches and enjoy good food, drinks, and music by the sandy shores
Gardens by the Bay Light Show
As if Gardens by the Bay isn’t stunning enough during the day, the entire futuristic garden transforms at night into a glowing wonder.
● Enjoy the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show that illuminates the glowing beauty of the Supertrees
● Get a bird’s-eye view of the city lights way up on the OCBC Skyway, an elevated pathway that stretches from one Supertree to another
● Explore the garden at night for its cool night air and stunning views
Night Markets and Hawker Centers

● If you’re looking for dishes that have the perfect mix of affordability, taste, and authenticity, Maxwell Food Centre is worth the gastronomic trip
