After checking out hotel Furama RiverFront, a bit outside of the city center, we explored the city. We walked along the river to the bay, which was quite nice to do – not much traffic, pedestrian zones, fancy bars along the way and quite pleasant weather (cloudy but not raining at roughly 28°C). From the bay you have a great view to Singapore’s skyline and to the iconic hotel Marina Bay Sands.
We decided to do the touristy stuff and went up to the scenic platform on 56th floor before dusk and to stay for a while to see and enjoy the spectacular view during daylight, sunset and after sunset. At 8 PM the light show “Spectra” was happening, which most of the people enjoy from a different perspective, but it was a unique experience nevertheless.
On the way back to our hotel we stopped at a very nice bar at the river, only to realize after seating to be in a German bar called “Hans im Glück”, serving German food and beer. We enjoyed it nevertheless.
