Brimming with a unique blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western cultures, the city of Singapore offers travelers a fabulous cultural experience within what can be described as one of the cleanest and most efficient large cities in Asia. Trains run on time, traffic jams hardly appear, and pollution is non-existent.
So aside from injecting a bit of culture into your trip, trying a new cuisine and enjoying the tropical climate, what is there to do during a visit to Singapore?
Here are my top 5 attractions in Singapore:
Marina Bay Sands Resort and Skypark
Starting with a big one, Marina Bay Sands is a must visit. The world’s second most expensive building combines world-class entertainment, a rooftop park that spans the length of all three buildings, and the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool.
Marina Sands is by far the best location for stunning harbor and city views from the world’s largest cantilevered observation deck, and if hunger sets in for a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants , relax by exploring more than 800,000 square feet of retail. space.
singapore zoo
Considered one of the best in the world, the Singapore Zoo offers an incredible experience for animal lovers. Have breakfast with the wildlife, take rides on the back of an elephant or simply explore the natural enclosures of more than 2,530 animals. See rare animals like white tigers or ring-tailed lemurs roaming free.
The zoo also has a dedicated wet zone with bathing suits available for purchase that offer a refreshing cool down in what is sure to be a hot tropical climate.
Little India and Sri Veeramkaliamman Temple
Experience Indian life, Singaporean way. Visit spice merchants, shop for sarees, or visit amazing Hindu temples such as the colorful Veeramkaliamman temple dedicated to Goddess Kali, the wife of Lord Shiva. Located in the center of Little India, it is the oldest and one of the most popular Hindu temples in Singapore.
English-speaking guides are available for walking tours, who will lead you through some of Singapore’s most vibrant streets while recounting the history of the British East India Company.
sentosa island
A historic 1800’s fortified island turned resort; Sentosa Island is a world class attraction for adventure seekers. The entire north front consists of a Universal Studios theme park and the island has many other exciting attractions such as Megazip Adventure Park, Skyline Luge, as well as a casino, golf course and amazing beaches.
orchid path
Home to Singapore’s elite, famed Orchard Rd was once lined with pepper and nutmeg plantations. Today, the main attraction manifests itself in incredible shopping centers, restaurants, bars and a vibrant nightlife. Easily one of the busiest tourist attractions in Singapore for those who enjoy being out after dark.
