Singapore has become one of the go-to holiday destinations for tourists worldwide when they want to visit Asia. Combining some of the best culture, food, history, and experiences, Singapore has everything you could want and so much more.
Gardens by the Bay
One of your first stops should be the Gardens by the Bay. Not only is this one of the most breathtaking botanical gardens you will ever see, but it also contains a wide variety of plants displayed incredibly uniquely.
There is one section of the gardens that mimics that cool rainforest environment you can experience in parts of the country, topped off with a treetop walk and plenty of spots to take photos.
Kampong glam
Whether you search “book private jet” and fly over it or stumble across it on a walk, you can’t miss the beautiful and extraordinary neighbourhood of Kampong Glam. This area of Singapore is the definition of somewhere with something for everyone.
You can learn about art, and the history of Islam in the country, take cute Instagram photos, eat delicious food, and everything in between.
National Gallery Singapore
Singapore is also home to the National Gallery, an art museum that has over 9,000 different works of art by local and international artists; it is also the largest collection of modern art in South East Asia.
Not only is the gallery a trendy tourist spot for locals and international guests, but it is also common for people to get lost inside for five, six, or even seven hours; there is so much to see you won’t know where to start.
Jewel Changi Airport
One of the more unique tourist spots you have to visit in Singapore is somewhere you can explore right as you land; the airport. The Jewel Changi Airport is widely regarded as and has been voted the best airport in the world.
Home to countless stores, restaurants, cafes, attractions, a waterfall, and countless other features, you can spend the entire day exploring and still find new things. Be careful, don’t waste your entire trip in this gem of an airport.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands is the place to be if you want to wine and dine like the rich and famous for a day. You can eat at a Michelin-Starred restaurant, relax by the pool, enjoy the views from Sky Park, or simply relax and forget about life.
If you want to splash the cash, though, spending a night at this iconic hotel will not only be the best hotel stay you will ever have but one you will want to do every year for the rest of your life.
Thian Hock Keng
The Thian Hock Keng Temple has been standing for nearly 200 years and was built as a shrine to the Chinese sea goddess, Mazu. While it may not be the biggest or most impressive temple you will ever see, its significance to local Buddhists is unmatched.
You can visit the temple, but it is suggested that you go with a guide as it is the only way to get a full and true understanding of where you are.
Sentosa
Once used as a military base and a prison, Sentosa Island has been transformed into a premier holiday resort that is enjoyed by millions of tourists and locals each year. The island has multiple attractions, including beaches, water sports, boat rides, a theme park, a Madam Tussauds, and numerous other activities for the whole family.
While you will definitely need to book far in advance if you are to secure a spot for your holiday, anyone who has visited Sentosa will tell you that it is so magical there is no reason to ever leave.
Singapore Botanical Gardens
While not a singular attraction, you can’t visit Singapore without visiting one of its many botanical gardens. Not only does the country pride itself on having exquisite gardens but also on the fact that there is so much variety you will easily see hundreds of plants you have never seen.
Night Safari
Finally, a more light-hearted and fun activity is to go on a night safari at the Singapore Zoo. Being the first zoo in the world to offer this, Singapore Zoo wanted to pivot into an attraction that was designed to educate and inform and not just use animals to make money.
The night safari is designed to show over 100 animals across six zones live as they would in the wild, with a ton of space to roam and live.
As mentioned, Singapore is a melting pot of the old and the new, tradition and modernities, and everything in between. A trip to Singapore will not only be an unforgettable holiday but an experience you will struggle to match anywhere else.
