The Singapore Flyer is one of the newest attractions in town and from the top you can see as far as Indonesia and Malaysia.

At 165m high, the Singapore Flyer is (or maybe was) the world's largest observation wheel.

There are 28 capsules about the size of a small bus and each of them can take a maximum of 28 people.

We went in the morning of a weekday and were lucky enough to have the whole capsule to ourselves.

You can see the progress of construction of the new Integrated Resort , the CBD, Marina Bay area and the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.

The 30 min ride normally costs S$29.50 but I was able to get a 15% corporate discount through the very helpful imstress.

There's also a wide range of shops, restaurants, facilities and other activities nearby.
