Singapore offers varied things to do for visitors of all ages. In Singapore, you will have the opportunity to experience Gardens by the Bay, visit the Botanic Gardens, stroll around at Marina Bay, shop at Orchard Road, and more.
Nature lovers and general sightseers alike will be captivated by Singapore’s remarkable Gardens by the Bay. Comparable to a jungle in an urban setting, this attraction boasts a host of interesting features that will capture the imagination of the visitor. A highlight here is the Supertree Grove where you will find 18 Supertrees, which are amazing creations that will intrigue the visitor. Don’t forget to stroll along the OCBC Skyway which is an elevated walkway that offers splendid views of the surroundings. The Cloud Forest and Flower Dome are two of the other attractions here.
Singapore is a city that boasts an array of parks and areas of greenery, and amongst these a highlight would be the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This splendid garden which extends over an area of 60 acres is a place of beauty featuring a myriad of interesting botanical specimens. Make it a point to visit the National Orchid Garden which contains a host of colourful and engrossing specimens. This garden will also be a good place to enjoy a leisurely jog or a pleasant picnic amidst the appealing surroundings.
Your visit to Singapore would not be complete without experiencing the sensational Marina Bay. Considered to be the city’s tourism hub, Marina Bay features an array of interesting attractions including The Float at Marina Bay (a huge floating stadium), the ArtScience Museum, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer (an observation wheel) and Merlion Park. However, perhaps Marina Bay’s showpiece would be the resort Marina Bay Sands which boasts nightclubs, a casino, shops and performance venues. If you visit the area in the night you will have the opportunity to experience the spectacular light show.
The appealing Singapore Zoo occupies a vast extent and contains an array of interesting animals. Divided into a number of zones and featuring a variety of exhibits, Singapore Zoo provides the visitor with the opportunity to observe many kinds of wildlife at close range. Make sure to check out sections like the Elephants of Asia and the Primate Kingdom which feature numerous interesting creatures. You will also be able to watch animal shows, undertake safaris and tours, and even perhaps feed an animal or two.
Since many Singaporeans are the descendants of immigrants, it is not surprising that the city contains several enclaves where people of different ethnicities may be found. One of these is Chinatown, a locality of many attractions that is usually lively with people visiting its shops, food stalls and eateries. Those seeking some interesting souvenirs should make their way to Pagoda Street, whereas New Bridge Road and Smith Street offer tasty snacks. When it comes to hotels in Chinatown Singapore from where this enclave’s attractions could be conveniently visited, an accommodation choice to consider would be PARKROYAL on Pickering Singapore.
Orchard Road is Singapore’s primary commercial avenue offering a mind-boggling selection of shopping attractions. On this avenue, you will find no less than 47 malls featuring an array of upscale brands, well-known international names like H&M and Zara, and a selection of local stores. Probably the showpiece of the avenue is the huge ION Orchard complex where you will find a good collection of designer brands. Additionally, Orchard Road features movie theatres, art galleries and various clubs as well as other kinds of entertainment options.
