When traveling, in a new place you should always try to find good observation platforms. On the one hand, this makes it possible to assess the scale and “layout” of the area, on the other hand, gorgeous unforgettable views. Long before the trip, I write “best cityview restaurants” in the search engine, choose establishments and book tables there.
Perhaps the best place in Singapore is Level 33 , a small bar where they brew their own beer, cook delicious food and have a very charismatic interior. It is located on the 33rd floor of an office building. And the main feature is that there is a completely open balcony with tables. The height is more than 100 meters, a light breeze and such a stunning view of Marina Bay. For the first 15 minutes, it’s impossible to remove the camera from your hands))) Well, it’s an obvious life hack: in all palm-sea countries, the views are more beautiful during the day, and for cities with high-rise buildings, evening time is preferable, sometimes it’s thanks to the lighting that the city takes on an absolutely fantastic look and charm. Many will rightly note that in such establishments the cuisine is not always at its best, but I am ready to forgive it.
This is the view from the balcony every evening. And sometimes there are light and music shows in Marina Bay, which are a pleasure to watch from this vantage point.
Let’s see the world’s institutions with the most dizzying views. Sometimes it happens that a trip to such an institution gives a lot of impressions and memories, well, no one has canceled cool pictures.
