Singapore is every shutterbug's dream destination. Offering a fine amalgamation of modern splendours integrated with a rich heritage, historical sites and loads of colour within its multi-cultural ethnicities. Here are the most Instagrammable places in Singapore.
Little India will offer you plenty of exciting incidents to capture on camera, amongst these the best is tipped to be the only Chinese villa in the locale – Tan Teng Niah's House. You can't miss it as it's painted in the myriad hues of the rainbow and is a very pretty sight indeed! The best shots will be those you attempt at a lower angle to get in most of the building and angled shots showing the delicate fringes and styles of the building's façade. Those of you travelling in a group will find Lyf Funan and other apartment hotels in Singapore are perfect for short holidays or long-term Singapore co -living in comfort. Many are located within easy access of to attractions and offer up to 4 bedrooms apartments; perfect for families or friends on a fun tour of the island.
This spot will earn you the most 'likes' on social media and promises awe; Gardens By The Bay is one of the nations most visited attractions, amongst which the Super Tree Grove will blow your mind. For the most impressive shots visit the gardens at dusk, the Super Trees offer a spectacular lights and music show, twice a day which is free to experience. For the most artistic out of this world type of shots, shoot the trees from a low angle getting in most of the night sky as the background.
One of the vibrant nations most photographed buildings was once a jail and police station but since the structure is fitted with 927 windows coloured in all the hues of the rainbow, it's now the perfect instagrammable shot!. In order to get the best shot, you need some help; get a friend to stand across the 'trafficy' road and shoot you in front of the building standing on the island in the middle of the road. Do this with caution and patience, the latter is required as you must wait for the traffic to clear up for that perfect shot – it's worth it though!
This location will remind you of Melbourne's chic alley culture; Haji Lane is home to a lovely mix of hip bars, stylish boutiques and artistic cafes to chill at. The walls are adorned with colourful street art and murals which make the perfect background for some impressive artsy shots, as do the colourful buildings, lining the streets. Wander around till you find the perfect aesthetically pleasing location, wait for the pedestrians to clear and click away.
The Cloud Forest is not to be missed, boasting a huge indoor rainforest and impressive eco-system made up of artificial waterfalls. The world's tallest man-made waterfall is found at the Cloud Forest, perfect for those very impressive Instagram updates. For the waterfall shot, choose a wide-angled lens.
There's more of course, why not book a long-term apartment in Singapore and enjoy being a shutterbug discovering the most alluring location there.
