Singapore is one of the cleanest, most organised and harmonious cities in the world today. Being such a popular destination, there's plenty to see and do in the city – some of which might even surprise you! Here're some unusual things you can try out in Singapore.
Now touring the city of Singapore may seem like an obvious choice, but have you considered doing it via a sidecar! Now, if you're going to be using a sidecar, you might as well pick a stylish option like a vintage Vespa. Once you're strapped in, be prepared for a fascinating tour through the narrow streets and back alleys of the big city. These sorts of tours allow you to see a side of Singapore you've never seen before – and perhaps didn't even know existed!
If you're vacationing in Singapore, you're probably staying at one of the centrally located hotels or apartments in the city. If you're into shared community living, you might even have gone with an option like the lyf by Ascott. Regardless of your choice, you're probably looking for some great cafes and restaurants to be found in the city centre. In that case, you should give Singapore's Selfie Coffee Café a look. The gimmick here is that you can take a selfie at the bar and enjoy a delicious brew that's topped up with a picture of your face!
One of the best ways to relax and have a good time in Singapore is to drift away on a great big donut! Indeed, if you're in the mood to spend some quality time with friends and family, book yourself a session on one of the ring-shaped boats parked alongside the city's waterways. A night session is particularly amazing as you'll be able to appreciate the illuminated skyline of the city against the backdrop of the vast night sky.
Singapore has developed a reputation for being a city that's based around sustainability, and it's hard to deny that when the city contains sites like one of the world's largest greenhouse. Both the Flower Dome and the Cloud House are two fantastic locations you can visit in order to witness some amazing plant life. The exhibits here are all well-curated and aesthetically pleasing, and it's a great change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
For being as urbanised as it is, it might surprise you that there are still wild and untamed corners to be found in Singapore. Palau Ubin is one of them. This fascinating destination offers a window into a time when Singapore was covered in the wilderness, full of exotic species and verdant vistas. The few signs of human habitation you'll see here are restricted to small huts and houses mounted on stilts. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore this wilderness, there's plenty of rare birds and water-dwelling reptiles for you to spot. Untouched by human progress, a visit to Palau Ubin presents Singapore in an entirely different light.
