Just in case you hadn't noticed, Singapore’s skyline is one of the most distinctive in the world.

To realize this, just look up: with more than 120 skyscrapers crowding an area measuring barely 800 square kilometers, one cannot deny that this is a city of impressive architectural achievements.

Small wonder then that Singapore is an aerial photographer’s delight.

There's a wealth of stunning bird's-eye views awaiting those who head up, way up, to one of these skyscraper rooftops.
