Carlsberg Sky Tower has the height of 110 meters(360 ft).Its cabin capacity has 72 persons with a lifting speed of 1.2 m per second. The tower gives you a 360° bird's eye view . Located on Sentosa Island piercing the sky at an inspiring height...real high. The horizons expand as the air-conditioned cabin heads slowly to the top. Brace yourself for breathtaking panoramic views. During nice weather, you will enjoy the views until to the neighboring Malaysia and the outlying islands of Indonesia.

A beautiful and a relaxing place to discover and admire. Nothing is here to dislike if you are a nature afficionado. The entrance is free. There are many specific areas in the premises to see like The National Orchids Garden( a must), Ginger Garden and the Evolution Garden. The numerous plant species here, including many rare specimens, reflect the Singapore Botanic Gardens' richness and diversity of plant life. I love just siiting on the bank of Swan Lake.

While in Singapore, don't miss to take a flight in a big wheel. It is considered as the world's tallest observation wheel. This engineering and architectural marvel has 28 capsules, each has space for 28 passengers. Every capsule is fully air-conditioned. You can get to an impressive height of 165 m on the Flyer, about a 42-storey building. We took a ride at night and enjoyed the city with its glittering atmosphere. The ride lasts for half an hour
The basic prices are SGD 29.50 for adults, 20.65 for children and 23.60 for senior citzens

balhannah Sun Nov 2, 2008 11:33 UTC Sounds like you had a good time in Singapore. The 'wheel' was still being built when we were there, and we didn't go up the skytower, things to do next time, as Singapore is often a stopover on overseas flights. | Nemorino Fri Jun 6, 2008 21:18 UTC On my time in Singapore I took a non-visa bus tour from the airport between planes. This is a great idea, but that day it was raining so hard we saw absolutely nothing. They drove us up to the top of a hill and told us how great the view was -- usually. | Linda_T Sun Aug 5, 2007 00:24 UTC Singapore is a fabulous place to visit isn't it? I love the Chinatown area, better shopping than Orchard Road I think | yumyum Fri Feb 2, 2007 07:40 UTC I've been to Singapore several times but I don't like the climate too much. |
