The boat in the sky
Arrival afternoon. Settle in, then up to the SkyPark — the boat-shaped roof of Marina Bay Sands — for sunset across the bay. Down for the Garden Rhapsody light show, then satay under a Victorian iron pavilion.
Heritage spine —
cool mornings, cool museums, cool evenings
Outdoor temples while it's still bearable, the National Gallery as the air-conditioned anchor through peak heat, then a rooftop sundowner, the Sultan Mosque dome at dusk, and dinner in Kampong Glam.
Tiong Bahru · Botanic · Peranakan · Katong
Bakery and gardens before the heat lifts. Peranakan Museum as the indoor afternoon — and a thematic primer for the pastel Koon Seng shophouses you'll see at golden hour. Final laksa in Katong.
