The 42-storey high Flyer is the world's largest observation wheel. Everything about it is big - it stands on top of a three-storey building, carrying 28 air-conditioned capsules (with a maximum capacity of 28 passengers) to a height of 492 feet above ground.

Each trip takes 30 minutes, comprising a single revolution of the wheel. Passengers get breathtaking views of the reclaimed Marina Centre territory, the historic city center, and even views of Indonesia and Malaysia!

The wheel stands at the heart of the Marina Bay development. Future developments in the area include a casino and several hotels.

Address: 30 Raffles Avenue
How to get there: Visitors can take a free shuttle bus to the Singapore Flyer to the City Hall MRT Interchange.
