Top 10 Things To Do in Singapore
10. Grab a bite at a Hawker Food Market
Singapore is a foodies heaven! You can find all kinds of Asian and Western food here! The best place to go is to do as the locals, and head to one of the many Hawker food markets. Another good deal when it comes to food is to head into one of the many Shopping Malls and visit a Food Court, where you find plenty of different Asian food for a low price.

9. Have a Singapore Sling at The Raffles Hotel
The Raffles Hotel in Singapore is legendary, and it’s probably the world`s most famous hotel! It’s more than a hotel, it’s an icon, where all kinds of celebrities have visited. It dates all the way back to 1887, and it`s beauty and elegance is still breathtaking.
It’s an expensive place to stay, but it’s we’ll worth to step inside and have a Singapore Sling at the bar!

8. Chill out at Clarke Quay
The colorful Clarke Quay next to the Singapore River is packed with restaurants, cafes, and bars. Head down here in the evening and fill up your stomach! They have something for everyone, from Western to Asian food.
It is also the perfect place to go for a romantic riverside stroll, as well as people-watching.

It is also possible to take a boat trip on the Singapore River, from Marina Bay and Clarke Quay.

7. Dream yourself away in “Avatar” at Gardens By The Bay
Gardens by the Bay is two big bio-domes, “Cloud Forest” and “Flower Dome”, containing an exotic range of flora and fauna from all over the world. The coolest and main attraction is, however, the amazing “Supertrees”. These are huge flashy and shimmering “trees”, 50 m high, that dazzle to lights and music! Pretty stunning, and as close as you are going to get to Avatar!

6. Visit Marina Bay Sands, the stranded ship on top of the building
When walking around in the streets of Singapore, there is no way you can avoid spotting the amazing and crazy Marina Bay Sands. It looks like a massive ship has been stranded on top of three buildings!

Although it is a hotel, it is so much more as well! You will find restaurants, cafes, and bars here, as well as a Sky Park (the world`s highest rooftop infinity pool), theaters doing shows every evening, casino, shops, and museums. The shopping mall is so vast that it has its own canal where you can go on a gondola ride! Pretty crazy! It is Singapore`s answer to Las Vegas for sure!

5. Soak up the busy Little India
Walk around Little India, and soak in all the smells of spices, food, and flowers, as well as the noise and Indian atmosphere. Step into one of the many Indian temples and shrines, and grab some Indian food or do some shopping at the shopping mecca Mustafa where you will find all kinds of clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs from India.
We recommend eating at the cozy Albert Court, which has some Indian restaurants with excellent food!
We have also stayed in this area, at the cozy and colonial styled hotel Village Hotel Albert Court. A very nice hotel with great service. Click here for the latest prices.

3. Wind down at the Botanic Garden
If you need a break from the busy and noisy city, head over to the Botanic Garden. It is a beautiful and calm oasis of green and lush nature, where the best part is the Orchid Garden.

2. Take a walk on the wild side at Singapore Zoo
The Singapore Zoo is divided in two; The Singapore Zoo and the River Safari, but are located just next to each other with only a 1-minute walk apart. The Singapore Zoo is also open in the evening (7:30 pm till midnight every day) and is then called Night Safari. Singapore Zoo is one of the world`s best and nicest zoos and well worth a visit!

1. Shop till you drop
Singapore is a shopper`s bonanza! The city has an endless number of gigantic shopping malls, so dig out your credit card and go crazy!
The main shopping area is along Orchard street where the shopping malls seem to form an endless string on both sides of the road. Here you will find just about any fashion brand imaginable. There is also quite a few electronics and camera stores along here. We actually bought our first DSLR here back in 2005.
The shopping in Singapore is crazy.
One of our favorite shops to visit in Singapore is the Kinokuniya bookstore inside the Ngee Ann City shopping mall. It is one of the largest bookstores in the world and it’s great fun to wander around looking their huge selection of books and magazines.
If you want to do some hardcore electronics and computer shopping then head for Sim Lim square close to Littel India.
The End
We enjoyed our week in the posh and modern Singapore. Although the shopping, food, sightseeing and parks are great, and the city is and clean, it lacks a bit of “charm” and personality in our opinion. It is a part of Asia, but it does not feel very Asian.
It is very easy to get around in Singapore, as the public transportation system is excellent (both buses and metro) and there are plenty of taxis everywhere. Most people also speaks good English, so it is an easy place to be a tourist.[……]
