    Locals call this place the "Durian" (after a regional thorny fruit). However from sky, we see curves than thorns of the popular local fruit. Aerial photo taken by Yeo Kai Wen. Source: Straits Times

    Concert hall is the smaller of the two and is one of the most 'glam' venue in Singapore for a classical music performance. The best thing is that there is no phone reception inside!

    Besides the F&B outlets within the Esplanade, we also enjoyed ourselves at Gluttons Bay just right beside the building! Local food, alfresco & shaded dining, affordable cold drinks 🍻

    Live shows. Many of them! Quite new names but really good quality. Amazing promoters that spoil the audience and give a chance to young bands to prove themselves

    Esplanade has some really beautiful view from the top of the building. Do not miss the view of the city from the top during evening times.

    A nice arts center and a familiar place for meet-ups with friends for dining & a performance. I like the exhibitions & festivals as well! One horrible experience with a rude theatre usher though!

    Arrive slightly early to visit the wash-rooms and find the right theatre. Bring a good read for the break in-between performances.
