So what are
the things you must do absolutely if you are passing through the city-state?
1. Marvel at Gardens By The Bay
Meet Pandora
(the planet of the movie Avatar), certainly one of the most spectacular places
in Singapore. The two paying gardens (Flowers Dome and Rain Forest) offer
different and fun experiences but you can also just sit outside and admire the
giant trees. Since this is one of the most viewed attractions it would be best
to book beforehand your Singapore Attraction
Tickets.
2. Admiring
the City from the Top of Marina Bay Sands
If only to
have a view of what Singapore is and also see the infinite pool at the top of
Marina Bay Sands (MBS). Unfortunately
this is not accessible to visitors (except for hotel guests).
3. Take a
drink at 1-Altitude
In the
evening, in order to have a panorama of Singapore by night. The most beautiful
night view of the city-state. On the other hand do not order the Singapore
Sling (the local cocktail) as a drink. It's just too sweet and not really very
good. And while we are talking about drinking, better be safe and book Singapore Maxi
Cab for the return trip.
4. Eating dim
sum at Din Tai Fung
Not to be
missed at restaurants all over Singapore, which offer excellent dim sum, often
imitated and rarely matched (especially given the correct prices). If you only
had one meal in Singapore, go to Din Tai Fung.
5. Visit the
Singapore City Gallery
Many people
wonder why this place is unavoidable in Singapore. Simply because it is the
best place (much more than the National Museum) to realize the Singaporean
success but also the organization of the authorities of the island. A must and
more it's free and it pleases everyone (and it's great for families with
children).
6. Getting
lost in Chinatown
Full of shop
houses (traditional houses), and also the perfect place for small souvenirs
gadgets (magnets, key rings,).
7. Shopping
in Haji Lane
One of the
alternative neighbourhoods in Singapore which offers plenty of independent
shops. Moreover, Haji Lane is located in the Malais district of the city and
offers another little-known view of the city-state: the shop houses and the
small streets which contrast with the austere and cold image of the city centre.
8. Spend an
evening at the Night Safari
This remains
one of the most popular attractions of the City-State that appeals to families.
Be careful to look at the weather because the place is outside and in case of
rain, it is immediately much more painful (even with umbrellas). Make sure you
have booked your Singapore attraction
tickets beforehand in order to avoid the queue. This can be easily
available at any one of the Singapore
local tour packages.
9. See the
shop houses of Kampong Bahru
Travel through
the past and stroll through the narrow streets of Kampong Bahru to see the
traditional houses of Singapore. Quiet and relaxing. Kampong Bahru is located
in the Everton Park area, right next to the Outram Park MRT underground station
(in the city centre).
10. Take a
picture of the Merlion
Passage point
for photos with the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands in background, much like the
Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Another one
of my favourite which almost made it to the list (had I only numbered my title
11 instead of 10!) is the SEA aquarium; impressive, the largest aquarium in
Southeast Asia. Usually I do not like aquariums at all (I'm not a fan of Ocean
World in Honk-Kong), but the SEA Aquarium in Sentosa with its giant basins and
giant manta rays is worth a visit. Again seek the help of Singapore Local tour packages for easy access pass without the
hassle of the long queue.
