Romance abounds in the vibrant Lion City
Couples on holiday to Singapore, abounding idyll and bliss await you in the vibrant city-state on the southern region of the Malay Peninsula. No matter if you are an ardent history buff, a lover of nature or a longing foodie, Lion City has it all to make for a memorable romantic city getaway.
The picturesque waterfront nature park is an unmissable stop for any traveller to Singapore and certainly is for couples on a romantic getaway. In fact, this fabled tourist attraction is what gives the city-state its moniker, the “Garden City of the World”. The sprawling 101 hectares mean that there are oodles of nature and beauty for your savouring. The Heritage Garden portrays a creative exhibit that details the history of the city. The breathtaking flora at the Flower Dome’s glass greenhouse will undoubtedly be some of the most beautiful collections of exotic flowers you’ve ever seen. The dreamy ambience of the Floral Fantasy and Cloud Forest exhibits is sure to have you enchanted, revelling in a day of bliss.
The city-state of Singapore is certainly meant for admiration, and what better way to appreciate the glorious metropolitan than aboard Asia’s largest observation wheel? Treat yourself to a half-hour rotation aboard the remarkable Singapore Flyer as you lay your eyes over the mind-blowing city views extending across the metropolis’ most treasured Merlion Park, Helix Bridge, and the aforementioned Gardens by the Bay and all the way up to the azure blue waters.
For a change in scenery from everything Singapore, make your way to Little India. The quaint little quarter is rich in colour, culture and architecture and is like no other part of the city-state. Soak up everything the vibrant district has to offer and find comfort and relaxation in the finest accommodation in Singapore, offered by popular chains such as Worldwide Hotels.
Singapore isn’t exactly known for its beaches, like its multiple sprawling city gardens, but for longing lovebirds to the city, you are not without a slice of sun, sand and sea. On the southwest coast of the tourist favourite Sentosa Island, Siloso Beach plays host to excited sun lovers and beach bums. The idyllic seaside makes the perfect scene for some immersive romantic sun basking.
As the sun goes down and the azure blue skies take a profusion of yellowish oranges, nothing says romance like the ambient riverside of Clarke Quay. The unruffled waters surrounded by mediaeval buildings bathed in Colonial charm and set in the backdrop of the golden vault of heaven — what more could you ask for a blissful evening in the vibrant Lion City.
