A tiny island with a plethora of experiences and adventures to offer its visitors; Singapore is among the frontrunners in MICE tourism, excitement for children and shopping. May it be by day or even by night, there is much to do and see while you are here.
The bustling waterfront promenade with eateries, music, Turkish ice cream vendors and throngs of people who want to have fun. The reflection of the gleaming lights on the water body, the light-hearted entertainment and the great food are the top winners that woo the crowds and there is never a dull night out at the Quay.
Bugis Junction is fun by day when it comes to shopping, relaxing with an ice cream in hand or just chilling with a friend. By night, the relaxed tempo reaches a crescendo with more numbers turning up to shop, eat and have a good time under lights. Even if you shop till the shops close, there is no difficulty in getting around since there would be cabs and the - hotels in Serangoon Road Singapore are only about 1.5km away.
A beautifully manicured landscape that offers a magical world of tranquillity within the metropolis of Singapore itself. The gardens light up towards evening for a show of musical illumination and the breeze ushers in a resolute calm to the tropical weather.
People pile into the Sentosa theme park all day but save your energy for the evening when the light and fire show themed 'Wings of Time' take stage, just by the sea. Adjacent is the aquarium which lights up to welcome those who wish to see the nocturnal habits of sea creatures.
South of the Marina Bay is the spectacular Spectra Show featuring the Merlion and the waterfront. The laser lights and waterworks are a sight to behold, no matter how sleepy you may be.
Take the hop on – hop off bus to see all the Singaporean attractions by night with the tropical winds ruffling your hair. Choose from the red and yellow lines and hop in from almost anywhere in the city be it just stepping out of Park Hotel Farrer Park or just finishing up at the Singapore Zoo.
This park is one amongst a range of forest reserves and is one of the oldest in the country. It is considered a secondary rain forest and plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of the country's natural balance. Treks can be organised up its slopes and across its breadth to watch birds or engage in some late-night exercises.
While it is exciting to be high up in the sky in a cabin connected to a cog by day, the experience becomes thrilling at night. Take a special someone or your family up the Singapore Flyer for some stunning views of well-lit buildings and waterways.
Soar above the clouds with your loved one in a cable car that plies above a glistening body of water. Enjoy a four-course meal and complete privacy as you shower him or her with affection amidst the starlit Singaporean sky.
Take a relaxing 40-minute cruise which lets you admire the national gallery and Gardens by the Bay from the boat. This is a great way to wrap up a long day with gorgeous sights, silky smooth wind and the gentle gurgles to calm your senses.
