Must-Do things in Singapore

March 16, 2022

Singapore is a beautiful garden city just south of Malaysia.

The city is well planned with many tourist destinations.

This bustling city has, among its many attractions, the largest rooftop infinity pool globally, the world’s first nocturnal safari park, centuries-old temples, and some of the best food in the world.

Merlion Park

The iconic 28-foot Merlion statue, a half-fish, half-lion stone carving that shoots water into Marina Bay, can be found on this promenade overlooking Marina Bay.

The fish represents Singapore’s origins as a fishing village, while the lion head refers to Singapura, which translates to “Lion City” in Malay. It was built in 1972 and is still one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions.

Also, Singapore’s official mascot is the Merlion.

Marina Bay Sands

Perhaps Singapore’s most iconic structure is the massive Moshe Safdie-designed mall, casino, convention center, and hotel. The ArtScience Museum, Singapore’s most forward-thinking, and the 57-story-high SkyPark, Singapore’s best, are both must-sees.

There is a laser light show every evening that draws a huge crowd.

The observation deck is the world’s longest occupiable cantilevered structure, measuring 66.5 meters in length.

Sentosa

Sentosa is a 1,236-acre island resort off Singapore’s southern coast, home to popular tourist attractions such as Universal Studios Singapore and the S.E.A. Aquarium.

Singaporeans and international visitors come here to relax on the beaches, zip line at Mega Adventure Park, shop at the massive Luxury Fashion Galleria, and do other things. Golf is also popular, with two award-winning courses at the Sentosa Golf Club.

Fort Siloso, Singapore’s only preserved fort, is also located on Sentosa Island. Siloso Beach is a beautiful place to spend some quality time.

East Coast Road

To get a taste of Singapore—both literally and metaphorically— then go by strolling through the East Coast Road enclave.

Colorful heritage shophouses sit shoulder to shoulder along this lively two-mile stretch (one of Singapore’s earliest delineated roads), forming a personality-packed backdrop for photos. The area is also close to East Coast Park, where you can take a seaside stroll.

You can find many restaurants with cuisines from all around the world.

Night Safari

It is the world’s first and most famous safari park. The 86-acre area is home to 2,500 animals from 130 different species, with more than a third endangered. Guests can travel around the park on free guided trams.

On weekends and with reservations, you can watch live tiger feedings. If you can walk some of the trails, go ahead and do so. It will take you away from the tourist crowds and increase your chances of encountering reserved animals.

Finish your evening with the exciting Creatures of the Night Show, where you can see the natural talents of fascinating creatures.

Singapore Botanic Gardens

The Singapore Orchid Garden is home to over 1000 orchid species and 2000 orchid hybrids.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens have a 14-acre tropical rainforest. It is believed that the rainforests predate the Gardens by hundreds of years and have been preserved over time by people operating them. The city is one of only two globally, surrounded by tropical forests.

Playgrounds for children are located near the Water Play Centre.

Overall, a great picnic spot.
