Described as a city with a veneer of wealth, the city-state of Singapore boasts everything from fine dining to high-end shopping malls. Discover the vibrant tapestry of Singapore's top-rated attractions, where culture, beauty, and adventure intertwine to create an unforgettable experience. Here are a few you simply should not miss!
An expertly-designed space of greenery that can be seen from the highest points of the city, there's much in the way of vibrant and lush plant life. It's great for a quiet afternoon, and escaping the noise of commerce for a while. Take a stroll through the Bay East Garden and sight the Supertree Grove for a cluster of iconic building structures, and cap it all off with a visit to the Cloud Forest Dome to see the world's tallest indoor waterfall. Enhance your transit experience between 3-star hotels in Singapore by exploring the captivating offerings of the Travelodge Harbourfront. Consider a visit to this remarkable property, meticulously designed to cater to your vacation needs.
Maintaining a reputation as the world's best rainforest zoo, the facilities are impressive, extensive, and most importantly - clean as a whistle. The animals are well treated, with plenty in the way of open space and vegetation. Featuring such exotic creatures as orangutans, komodo dragons, white tigers and kangaroos, guests can view these creatures during their feeding time, and with a little extra searching, you'll be able to stumble upon the option to have breakfast with the orangutans in a hassle-free way, for a unique experience in Singapore.
Singapore might be one of the only places in the world where you could spend your entire holiday shopping, and not be judged for it. Orchard Road is a famous spot that has begun many a shopping spree due to its chic designer stores, full of the latest in fashion, as well as the well-equipped electronic stores featuring cutting-edge technology and invention for sale. It's become all par for the course for a neighbourhood that boasts 22 shopping malls and 6 department stores.
A homage to the locales of China, the streets of Chinatown burn a fiery red and gold, clad in the colours of customary Chinese design, as the mom-and-pop stores that dot most Chinese streets make yet another appearance in Singapore, bringing about a sense of bustle and excitement along with trade and commerce. The Buddha Tooth Relic temple looms over the district, with morning drum ceremonies and evening ceremonies adding a much-needed sense of culture. A progressive neighbourhood that stands as a testament to Chinese culture, Chinatown burns bright in the hearts of its denizens.
Although Singapore doesn't exactly have a reputation as a beach destination, there's a good enough alternative in Sentosa Island, where some good, old-fashioned frolics in the sun can happen any time you like. With such offerings as Siloso Beach and the Underwater World aquarium, there's no shortage of things you can do on Sentosa - make sure to head over to the Merlion and take in the sight of the famous statue that draws in visitors from all over the world. You can even take an escalator to the top and bask in the sights of the whole city at once!
