Brimming with a unique mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western cultures, the city of Singapore offers travelers a fabulous cultural experience within what can be described as one of the cleanest and most efficient large cities in Asia. Trains run on time, traffic jams hardly appear and pollution is non-existent.
So aside from injecting a bit of culture into your trip, trying a new cuisine and enjoying the tropical climate, what can you do during a visit to Singapore?
Here are my top 5 attractions in Singapore:
Marina Bay Sands Resort and Skypark
Starting with the big one, Marina Bay Sands is a must see. The second most expensive building in the world combines world-class entertainment, a rooftop park that stretches across all three buildings, and the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool.
Marina Sands is by far the best location to enjoy stunning views of the harbor and city from the world’s largest cantilevered observation deck, and if hunger settles in for a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants , then relax exploring more than 800,000 square feet of retail stores. space.
Singapore Zoo
Considered one of the best in the world, the Singapore Zoo offers an amazing experience for animal lovers. Eat breakfast with wildlife, take elephant rides or simply explore the natural enclosures of over 2,530 animals. See rare animals like white tigers or free-roaming ring-tailed lemurs.
The zoo also has a dedicated wet area with swimsuits available for purchase that offer a refreshing cooldown in what is sure to be hot tropical weather.
Little India and Sri Veeramkaliamman Temple
Experience Indian life, Singapore style. Visit spice merchants, shop for saris, or visit amazing Hindu temples, such as the colorful Veeramkaliamman Temple dedicated to Goddess Kali, the wife of Lord Shiva. Located in the center of Little India, it is the oldest and one of the most popular Hindu temples in Singapore.
English-speaking guides are available for walking tours, who will lead you through some of Singapore’s most vibrant streets as they tell the story of the British East India Company.
Sentosa Island
A historic 1800s fortified island converted into a resort; Sentosa Island is a world class attraction for adventurers. The entire north front consists of a Universal Studios theme park and the island has many other exciting attractions such as Megazip Adventure Park, Skyline Luge, as well as a casino, a golf course and amazing beaches.
orchid path
Home to Singapore’s elite, the famous Orchard Rd was once lined with pepper and nutmeg plantations. Today, the main attraction manifests itself in incredible shopping centers, restaurants, bars and a vibrant nightlife. Easily one of Singapore’s busiest tourist attractions for those who enjoy being out after dark.
