Keep in mind that all the way, you will be supported by some of the excellent public transportation systems in the world – so commuting is the last thing you need to worry about.

Here is a list of the best things to do in Singapore.

Marina Bay Sands

The Marina Bay sands resort is a complex of a high-end luxury hotel, a mall with a canal running through it, and Art and Science museum, and the bay Skypark Observation Deck. The viewing deck and the infinity pool are in a ship that tops the hotel. You can grab a snack or coffee at the rooftop restaurant as well. You can find the location at Bayfront Avenue Singapore.

Gardens by the Bay

The Bay East Garden is the perfect place for enjoying a stroll while enjoying vibrant plant life. It is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. You can head to the Cloud Forest Dome, which is the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Check the website for ticket prices and timings.

Botanic Gardens

The Botanic Garden is worth a visit or two since it is the first UNESCO World Heritage Site of Singapore. The Botanic Garden preserves Singapore’s wild botanic heritage and houses some mature and oldest tree species.

Singapore Zoo

The Singapore Zoo is widely considered the best rainforest zoo in the world. This is a pretty impressive facility where animals are treated with utmost respect and care. You can visit the orangutans, chimpanzees, meerkats, zebras, and even Komodo dragons. Keep in mind there is a night safari as well, along with a visit to a giant panda forest. For bird lovers, the Jurong Bird Park is the ideal spot.

Orchard Road

If you plan on shopping with your friends and family, then Orchard Road is the perfect place to be. There are high-end stores at every turn in the neighborhood, and you can go on a shopping spree. There are 4-movie theaters, IMAX, six departmental stores, and 22-malls – enough to satisfy even the most nit-picky shopper.

Singapore Flyer

If the observation deck at the Marina Bay doesn’t satisfy you, then the Singapore Flyer will. This is the world’s largest giant observation wheel, and you can look out at a view of not just Singapore but as far as the Spice Islands of Indonesia and Straits of Johor in Malaysia. Check out the official site for ticket prices and timings.

Chinatown

Chinatown is all about authentic Chinese food with the right ambiance and the small mom-pop shops. There are excitement and hustle-bustle in this district. You can visit the Chinese heritage center along with the Sri Mariamman Hindu temple while in Chinatown.
