8 New Exciting Attractions to visit on your first flight over to Singapore
SkyHelix Sentosa
With Malaysia’s travel borders opening up and the relaxation of the procedures and testing requirements for the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between Malaysia and Singapore, many of us can’t wait to hop on a plane for a quick getaway to finally unwind and relax in Singapore. Since the pandemic, Singapore has launched various new attractions, from immersive museums to outdoor activities like water biking and go-karting that are just waiting to be experienced!
Here are eight newly-opened attractions and activities that you can put on your must-see and do list on your first flight over to Singapore!
If you’re a sucker for a good view, this open-air gondola will get you front row seats to a panoramic view of Sentosa and the surrounding waterfront from 35M above the ground. Each ride lasts 12 minutes, including two minutes of ascent and descent and 10 minutes at the peak, where the gondola will also slowly rotate for you to enjoy a bird’s eye view of your surroundings. So kick back, relax, and sip on some drinks while you enjoy the ride. Good news is, unlike roller coasters, phones are allowed onboard, so you can capture as many photos as your wish for the ‘gram.

Clock Tower at the Victoria Theatre & Concert Hall
Fulfil your fantasy about frolicking about a bell tower in a gothic cathedral at Victoria Theater & Concert Hall, and take in views of the island city from a different perspective. Explore the building’s history, architecture and new installations as you learn more about the Clock Tower itself, leaving you with a newfound appreciation of the building for more than its pretty neo-classical facade. Throw on comfortable walking shoes as the climb to the top of the 54-metre Clock Tower is not an easy feat – expect steep climbs and two cat ladders.
