This location is in the northeast corner of the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Enter via the main entrance on Bayfront Ave and walk straight towards the back of the building. Turn right (do not exit the building) and take the escalator (next to Dragon Brand Brid’s Nest shop) to Level 2. Turn right and take a very long escalator to Level 4/roof. You'll see glass doors, walk through them and go straight to the glass railing. You're now at the viewpoint!

Tips

Best season
All months
Best time
Night
This location is great for photography all months of the year – as long as it’s not raining! The wet season is typically September to February.
Visit this location at night between 19:00 - 22:00. The expressway should still have heavy traffic, yet there won’t be too many people around to interrupt your shots. In the evening you can also catch the light of the Singapore Flyer.
Field tips
Try balancing the composition of your shot with the Singapore Flyer and expressways. You will have to use a zoom lens to compose this tight of a shot.
The expressway can be used as leading lines to guide the viewer’s eyes to the edges of the frame.
Try taking a long exposure to capture the evening lights and passing traffic.
