Are you an altitude-loving traveller who fancies a view from some
of the tallest buildings around the world? -
For starters, you may want to check out Singapore's very own Marina
Bay Sands SkyPark, which ranked second on TripAdvisor's list of top
10 iconic observation towers in the Asia-Pacific.
The breath-taking skyline of Singapore from the height of 200
metres above the ground is an unforgettable scene to anyone who
visits it.
Apart from the observation deck, the SkyPark also houses the Garden
and Infinity Pool, which can only be accessed by hotel guests. As
as traveller describes, "It offers a full 360 panoramic view of
Singapore."
The SkyPark narrowly lost out to the 101-storey Shanghai World
Financial Centre, which topped the list with its three observation
decks that offer different experiences on the 94th, 97th and 100th
floors.
Nothing compares to enjoying a city's skyline from high altitude.
