Singapore offers a great variety of choices: from attractions dedicated to family and friends to a tasty cuisine and dynamic night life.
Some say that Singapore has the best hotels on the planet. That’s why you should do your check up in advance, choose what you like and book quickly because Singapore is very crowded, especially during the high seasons like January, February, June and July.
If you are a first time visitor, you may feel overwhelmed by all the places to see and things to find out.
You can visit Singapore in 3 days
You can discover Singapore in 3 days if you are well organized. If you want to discover it in detail, allow yourself 5 days. Singapore can be expensive, so a Singapore Pass may help you save money.
Crowded especially in December, January and June
Singapore is a great year-round destination as it never really gets cold. If you want to avoid the crowds then steer clear of December, January, and June.
The temperatures vary from 25 degrees to 37 degrees, so you don’t have to pack warm clothes.
What to Visit
Gardens by the Bay
The famous Gardens by the Bay spans a total of 101 hectares in the heart of the city and is an integral part of a “City in a Garden” concept where the wonders bloom.
Everyone who visits Singapore loves to spend some time taking pictures of the beautiful Supertree Structures.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore, owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation. At its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world’s most expensive standalone casino property at $8 billion ($5.88 billion USD), including the land cost.
Merlion Park
The Merlion is the official Mascot of Singapore and is probably one of the most recognizable icons of the city. Therefore you should expect a lot of people around the statue and in the park. Around sunset, the lights come on in the Business district, which makes for a perfect backdrop to the statue
Clarke Quay
Center of the night life in Singapore, it is located just across Fort Canning Park, in Clarke Quay. Here you you will find excellent restaurants with a mix of Asian and European cuisine. Also, here you can see the spectacular views of Marina Bay.
This Boat ride takes about 40-minutes round trip and is a guided tour.
National Gallery of Singapore
Connected by a striking aluminium and glass canopy, Singapore’s historic City Hall and Old Supreme Court buildings now form the city’s breathtaking National Gallery. Its world-class collection of 19th-century and modern Southeast Asian art is housed in two major spaces, the DBS Singapore Gallery and the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery.
The concrete jungles that once dominated Singapore’s skyline are slowly giving way to green skyscrapers, which look more like living ecosystems than business hubs. Fervently working towards its ‘City in a Garden’ dream, the nation is ploughing money into becoming more sustainable and, well, green.
Have a safe trip!
