discover singapore's best: top must-visit 5 tourist attractions

Still, a vibrant and cosmopolitan city-state with plenty of fantastic sites and activities to explore and engage in in a rather limited area in Singapore. From modern skyscrapers to historic locations, from mouth-watering food to reasonably priced retail areas, Singapore is for all types of visitors including cultural icons. Make sure you include these five well-known sites on your list if you are going to this energetic city.

1. Gardens by the Bay

When in Singapore, one cannot afford to miss the spectacular gardens commonly called the Gardens by the Bay. This enormous garden includes more than 250 acres of land and contains over one million plants introduced from all corners of the globe. Supertree Grove has eighteen supertrees that are sixteen stories tall and are covered in plants with the aerial bridge connecting them giving a great view over the city. Do not leave without visiting two fascinating climate-controlled biomes: the Flower Dome simulating a Mediterranean climate, and the Cloud Forest containing the world’s largest man-made mountain blanketed in vegetation. After dark, the gardens come alive with spectacular light and a music show staged with the supertrees as props.

2. Sentosa Island

It is Singapore’s playground, located on Sentosa Island, which is just a 15-minute car/jeep ride from the main Island. If you are interested in spending time on beaches, riding attractions of theme parks, exploring nature trails, or spending nights in luxurious hotels, Sentosa has everything for you. Some of the attractions you have to visit are Universal Studios Singapore S.E.A. Aquarium, and a new addition that has been introduced recently called the Sensoryscape walkway. One way to get to the island from the mainland and at the same time get a birds-eye view of the island is by using the Singapore cable car which is located at Mount Faber. Indeed, there is much to do and see in Sentosa, and one can scarcely run out of things to do in a single day there.

3. Singapore Zoo

Located on a 28-hectare piece of land, the Singapore Zoo has been established as one of the world’s best zoos due to close interaction with over 300 animals. There are several attractions that one should not leave out when visiting the place including orangutans, white tigers, lemurs, and pygmy hippos. Its special part is the Elephants of Asia which depicts different species of elephants that are on the verge of extinction in Asia. Try not to leave without watching one of the engaging animal performances, such as Splash Safari or Rainforest Fights Back. To take your expectations a notch higher, you can choose to stay at the jungle lodges in the Zoo or take the dinner safari night tour.

4. Chinatown

The place that would be of interest is the oldest district of the city, which is known as Chinatown, and that presents visitors with the history of Singapore as the trading post. Walking down Tetsugaku no michi, one gets to see pagoda-styled shophouses that house traditional medicine shops, antique shops, Chinese temples, and even small museums. It is home to the Chinese district where you can taste some of the typical Chinese dishes or buy Chinese trinkets at Trengganu Street. Make sure not to skip the opportunity to explore the lovely Sri Mariamman Temple or the energetic haggling scene of the Chinatown Wet Market. Other attractions in the area include the Smith Street night market which is always alive with activities at night. After you have done your tour, you could take a coffee break at one of the sidewalk cafes or rooftop bars in Chinatown today.

5. Marina Bay Sands

You don’t have to bet to enjoy yourself at the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort complex, though! Gaze at the luxurious structures and marvel at one of the remarkable swimming pools that is located in mid-air on the Skypark observation deck that is 200 meters high. Plan a luxurious helicopter hire in the afternoon accompanied by tea on the helipad or dine at restaurants owned by celebrity chefs such as Wolfgang Puck. Finish your night with an aura of sophistication and elegance by taking a cocktail drink while watching the visually stunning light show attraction located at the neighboring 37 million-pound theater structure referred to as Wonder Full. Entertainment will be in plenty at this place and you will be at a loss for what to choose next.
