Singapore is a vibrant city in Southeast Asia and is known for being a melting pot of cultures. If you're planning on going to this nation anytime soon, here are the top spots that you cannot miss exploring!
Any trip to Singapore won't be complete without a visit to the Marina Bay Sands complex. This is one of the top places of interest in Singapore and for good reason too. The top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel, with its popular ship-like structure, will reward you with some breathtaking views of the city's skyline once you get to the SkyPark observation deck. While at this spot, don't forget to swim in the world's highest and longest infinity pool too
Just a stone's throw away from the first spot, you will find Gardens by the Bay. Here, you can allow yourself to be transported to a futuristic wonderland. Walk around and take a look at the Flower Dome, the world's largest glass greenhouse, which is home to a variety of exotic plants and flowers. According to blog sites like Wellknownplaces, you then go to the Cloud Forest, a tropical forest with an indoor waterfall, and walk over to the Supertree Grove, which has an impressive collection of vertical gardens that provides a light show in the evening. So, make sure you time your visit to the garden so you can watch that!
If you are in the mood for a day out that is filled with fun, go to Sentosa Island, which is known as Singapore's playground. You can get to the island either by cable car, monorail, or bridge. The island has a host of attractions and entertainment options in which you can immerse yourself. Within, you will also find Universal Studios Singapore, which is a theme park with your favourite movie-themed rides and attractions. Make sure you read up about the rides so you can make a list of your top go-to rides and get them ticked off one by one.
In Chinatown, you'll be able to see well-preserved heritage shophouses, busy markets, and historic Chinese temples. Make sure you visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, which is an intricately designed building housing sacred relics of Buddha. This visit will feel like a walk back in time!
While in Little India, you will be welcomed by colourful streets filled with aromatic spices. Make sure you visit the Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour shopping mall that sells everything from electronics to textiles and more. Also, taste some mouthwatering Indian food at local eateries and stalls, which offer a range of Indian favourites like curry, dosa, and biryani.
If you feel like escaping the urban jungle, head to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is a haven of tranquillity and serenity. Home to lush greenery, elegant lakes, and a diverse collection of flora, this attraction is perfect for an evening walk to end a long day of touristy activities in Singapore.
