Benjamin Sheares Bridge

Sunset from the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is amazing. Seriously, the colors... But yeah, finding a photo spot without being a hazard is key. Instead of stopping on the bridge itself, try this: park your bike near the bridge's eastern end – there are usually some quieter areas around the Gardens by the Bay East side. You can still get fantastic bridge views from there, and you won't be holding anyone up. It's a little less congested too, making for better shots. Plus, the Gardens themselves offer some neat angles for the bridge in the background. Good luck with your Insta post!

Marina Bay Sands

Nope, access to the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is strictly for hotel guests only. Those pricey day passes are unfortunately not scams, they're just... exorbitant. Your best bet is to just book a room, even if it's just for a night. Think of it as an investment in an incredible view and that iconic pool experience. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

Ouch, that's a bummer. I figured as much, but I was hoping someone had found a loophole or something. A night's stay is definitely a hefty price tag just for the pool, though. Maybe I'll just admire it from afar then... Thanks for the info!
