The Rooftop at the Esplanade

From day to night, tourists like to crowd the Esplanade bridge to get a view of Marina Bay Sands. Rather than having your photo be ruined by having random strangers dotting your background, head to the rooftop at the Esplanade. Upstairs, you can get a better view of MBS without being elbowed in the face by selfie-takers. Photo: Esplanade

While it's nothing compared to the often visited Cavenagh Bridge, enjoy the riot of colours and architectural splendour. Photo: Travel Holic
