Singapore Flyer, Singapore

Singapore Flyer, Singapore (must see)

If you're interested in getting a fantastic panoramic view of Singapore, especially the bay area, consider taking a ride on the Singapore Flyer on a clear day. This impressive Ferris wheel stands at a towering height of 165 meters, and it used to be the world's tallest until the Las Vegas "High Roller" surpassed it in 2014 by just 2.6 meters (9 feet). Similar to the "High Roller," the Singapore Flyer revolves slowly, taking about half an hour to complete a full rotation. This gives you ample time to enjoy the breathtaking views and capture numerous photos before descending back to a lush rainforest-covered park below.

The Singapore Flyer consists of 28 cabins, each capable of accommodating 28 passengers. However, during off-peak times, you might find it relatively empty, allowing for a more private experience. If you're worried about acrophobia, rest assured that the capsules are designed to make you feel secure, and the ride is exceptionally smooth, minimizing any sensation of height or rotation. Furthermore, the cabins are equipped with air-conditioning and panoramic screens that provide informative details about the various landmarks and surroundings.

For the best experience, consider visiting the Flyer on weekdays or just before or after sunset to enjoy the city's illuminated beauty at night. They offer various packages, including the signature Singapore Sling Flight, where you can savor drinks while taking in the incredible views for an added touch of style and luxury.

Tip:
The best time for having a Flyer ride is on weekdays as well as before or just after sunset to see the city at night.
